Roger Federer of Switzerland at the net with Novak Djokovic of Serbia whom he defeated in their semi final match for the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros in Paris, France, June 3.
It's great to see some real sportsmanship these days. I was looking for the great celebration shot, like the one of Nadal earlier today, but I think Federer was too tired to show much emotion. As AP reported:
On Sunday, Nadal will try to beat Federer for the sixth time in eight Grand Slam finals.
"Beating Novak today was maybe a good birthday gift for him because he lost his four previous matches against Novak," Federer said of Nadal, who turned 25 on Friday. "I'm going to play against Nadal, my main rival, in another Grand Slam final. We live for these moments."
