What Nadal said about Federer after defeating him today at the French Open is pure class

Rafael Nadal is one step away from the 12th title at the French Open after defeating 6-4 6-2 Roger Federer in the final.

The powerful wind was a barrier to the development of a quality match, but despite that there were plenty of moments to discuss at “Philippe-Chatrier”, Periscope reports.

Nadal now awaits the winner from the Novak Djokovic-Dominic Thiem match to the finals.

After the Brave, Nadal said: “It's extraordinary to play against Roger here. He's the best player in history for me.

It's always a tough fight against Roger. They were difficult conditions with the wind. I'm glad I had the chance to play another final here. It's the most important competition in my career.” /Periscope. com/
