Victory for the Fed

No, the financial situation hasn't gotten any better, but another Fed made a strong move today as Roger Federer took a three-set French Open victory to win his 14th Grand Slam title, tying Pete Sampras for the record.

Federer's victory comes month after the Sports Illustrated article preaching the deposing of the king that Federer was, but now it appears he has regained his throne. Sure, he didn't have to take down rival (and often, foil) Rafael Nadal on his own turf...er, clay...but he did beat the man who beat Rafa.

This could be the confidence boost Federer needs to rip through the second half of the season, on his favorite surfaces, and perhaps rise to the surface and take down Nadal in a major.
