Federer wins French Open

Roger Federer survived being confronted by an intruder to complete his haul of grand-slam titles with a straight-sets victory over Sweden’s Robin Soderling in the French Open final today.

The Swiss star equalled Pete Sampras’ record haul of 14 Majors as he clinched his first Roland Garros crown by posting a 6-1 7-6 (7/1) 6-4 victory in rainy conditions in Paris.

Federer, the second seed here, joins Fred Perry, Don Budge, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver and Andre Agassi as the only men to have won all four grand slams.

He fell to his knees and started to cry the moment he clinched the match, after less then two hours’ action.
