Roger Federer Upsets Rafael Nadal 2009 Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open: Roger Federer was finally able to do the impossible on Sunday’s 2009 Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open Final, as he snapped Rafael Nadal’s 33-match win streak.
Federer — the 2009 Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open straight-set Champion (6-4, 6-4) — was finally able to get the monkey off his back after a two year drought against the top-seeded Spaniard. 
Going into the 2009 Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open Finals, Rafael Nadal [-350 ML] had been listed as the Sports Odds favorite to defeat Roger Federer [+250 ML] despite nursing an injured knee. "He was simply better than me," Nadal said.
From the outset of the match, Rafa just didn’t look right, and Federer took full advantage breaking the Spaniard once in both sets. It’s hard to believe that the victory only marked the Swiss’ second win over Nadal on clay with the first one coming two years ago at the Hamburg Final. "It doesn't help to play four hours yesterday," said Nadal.
Currently, Nadal holds a 13-7 overall head-to-head lead against Federer. However, with the 2009 French Open Roland Garros Betting Odds right around the corner, this has to give the Swiss some confidence and momentum that he can beat the Rafa again.
