Roger Federer Has Some Work To Do Before The French Open

Good news for Thabo Sefolosha. The Chicago Bulls guard has probably sewn up the title of most successful Swiss athlete in the world this weekend, because Rafael Nadal continues to own Roger Federer on clay. A stright-sets whoopin' was handed to Federer in the finals of the Monte Carlo Masters Series earlier today.

Annoying. I usually don't take sides in matters of tennis, but if Federer starts winning these, he has a chance to go down as the greatest ever. Nadal, on the other hand, if he keeps winning these, has a chance to go down as "that trophy-eating guy in capri pants who Federer couldn't beat on clay." That's not as awe-inspiring.

The French Open is May 28th. Get to work, Federer. Either on your clay court game, or on finding someone to leadpipe this little bastard's knee.
