yes, it has happened

yes, roger has done it and has done it with his signature mark.i doubt if any one might have thought of swiss master kissing the french cup before the tournament started.infact he was no where close to favourate even though he defated nadal at madrid open just few days before the french open.many of the tennis great said nadal is going to be the winner. yes looking at the run nadal had since last year french open to this year, winning french open, Wimbledon, Olympic gold medal then semis at US open and then the australian open, i guess many of us had no doubt at all in him biting the french cup for the 5th consecutive time.but it's tennis and as nadal said if u dont play good tennis, u deserve to lose and one can take no match easy for granted. one has to play best tennis no matter who is on the other side of the net.

federer with the experience on his side had a start that he wanted to. i guess soderling might have been nervous at the beginning, but in the second set, he did play really good, but one can hardly do anything when when federer serves like a bullet(maybe nadal might have done something).the swiss have a early break in the opening of 3rd set and since then there was no looking back for federer.

as federer severes for the championship point at 5-4 and the forehand shot from soderling touched the net, federer kneels down at the court and cries.it was really a great feeling to see him finally get his biggest french title after being defeted in final for 3 consecutive time.well done federer, and also soderling- u did what no one (incl federer ) could do here at roland garros i.e def nadal.the world salutes u federer, for being such a great and gentle ambassador of sports.
