Nadal Wins 1st Grass Court Title; Federer Wins 55th

Rafael Nadal became the first Spanish player in 36 years to win a grass court title on Sunday by defeating World #3 Novak Djokovic 7-6(6) 7-5 at the Stella Artois Championships, a warm-up tournament for Wimbledon held at the Queen's Club in London.

Roger Federer won his 59th consecutive grass court match en route to winning his 5th consecutive Halle title (55th ATP Tour title overall) at the Gerry Weber Open by defeating Phillip Kohlschreiber 6-3, 6-4. It was Federer's 10th title on grass, he has never lost a grass court final.

Nole is going to have to stop yapping off about this guy in interviews and just beat him. That was a debacle to see.

Great to see Roger roll right along, although, he had better forgot the white slacks and other accouterments and stay focused on winning Wimby this year.
