Nadal Defeated in French Open

Shocking news from the tennis world—four-time defending champion Rafael Nadal lost for the first time ever at the French Open this afternoon after winning his previous 31 matches at Roland Garros. Swede Robin Soderling beat the number one ranked Spanish superstar with an astounding run in four sets. His defeat came in the fourth round of the Grand Slam and was even more improbable when stacked against their previous match-ups: just earlier this spring Nadal defeated Soderling with a 6-1, 6-0 rout at the Italian Masters.
