i don't follow pro tennis like i used to, back when i played all the time and taught it for a living. but i still have a casual interest and pay it a little bit of attention. having said that, i thought the days of federer/nadal grand slam finals were over. the last time they played each other in a slam final was in australia over 2 years ago. the first final they played in was exactly 5 years ago at the 2006 french open (also the first time dallas and miami played in the NBA finals. totally irrelevant, but i think mildly interesting). they then made the next 3 and a half years of men's tennis pretty boring by playing each other in 7 grand slam finals from '06-'09. and now here they are, back again in the french open final.
