French Open Roland Garros 2008: Three-time (consecutive) French Open Roland Garros champion, Rafael Nadal will try to keep his current 27-game winning streak alive in Sunday’s final as he faces the world’s No. 1 seeded Roger Federer. This match-up has become not only a fan favorite, but also a yearly occurrence for these two international superstars. Sportsbook.com has Rafael Nadal a -300 betting odds favorite against Roger Federer +230.

 Just like Roger Federer has dominated the tennis world for several years -winning seemingly every event he has played- Rafael Nadal has done the exact same thing on tournaments played on clay surfaces.

As a matter of fact, only one person in tennis’ all-time history to have more success (on clay) than Rafa, is Bjorn Borg. Nevertheless, with a victory in the 2008 French Open finals, Rafael Nadal will tie Borg’s all-time mark of 4 consecutive French Open Roland Garros titles.

Roger Federer conquered, and has remained atop the tennis universe for many years now. However, there’s one Grand Slam title still missing in Roger Federer’s trophy room.

Thus, there’s one person Federer has yet to defeat at Stade Roland Garros, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal. On what has become a yearly occurrence in Paris, Sunday’s final will be the third consecutive time these two guys will be on opposite sides of the net.
