Rafael Nadal was simply devastating in his 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 victory over Roger Federer Sunday in the men’s singles final at the French Open. As the managing director of New Chapter Press, publisher of the new upcoming book THE BUD COLLINS HISTORY OF TENNIS (click here to pre-order for 39 percent off), we are making some last minute adjustments to the French Championships section of the tome.

For starters, Nadal’s win is the second most decisive victory in a men’s singles final at the French - Nadal giving up one more game than Guillermo Vilas did in his 6-0, 6-3, 6-0 win over Brian Gottfried in the 1977 French final. The title was Nadal’s fourth - tying him for second place with Henri Cochet - and two behind Bjorn Borg, who won six men’s singles titles. Nadal, however, did match Borg’s four successive victories (1978-1981) and his 28-match winning streak at Roland Garros. Nadal, as we all know, has yet to lose a match in the event, winning the title in his four attempts to win the event and obviously holds the record for best winning percentage at the event with 1.000. Federer also gains another line in the French Open records section, losing his third men’s singles final which ties the all-time men’s record along with Vilas (1975, 1978, 1982) and Jaroslav Drobny (1946, 1948, 1950).

One item to clarify which was incorrectly reported on American television regarding Borg and his record at Roland Garros. He did play the event eight times, winning six titles and losing to only one player - Adriano Panatta of Italy. Panatta beat Borg in the fourth round in 1973 by a 7-6, 2-6, 7-5, 7-6 margin and again in the 1976 QUARTERFINALS - not the final as reported more than once - by a 6-3, 6-3, 2-6, 7-6.

On to Wimbledon…
