I believe it's just called a Career Slam to have won all 4; as far as I know Steffi is the only person to have ever won the Golden Slam, all 4 + the Olympic, all in the same year.

Re: French Open
Good performance from Federer. Soderling was never really in it.
Hopefully he can take wimbledon again.

Re: French Open
Sorry! What I was talking about with winning all the majors plus a singles gold medal is called a "Career Golden Slam." According to Wiki, only Graf and her husband Agassi have done it. Graf was the only one to do it all in the same year (SICK!)

Re: French Open
Fed's no.1 all time now I agree. Clay is his weakest surface, but he is still only 2nd on this surface to the guy widely considered the no.1 all time on it (though it is hard to compare considering the dramatic change in racket technology from the Borg/Mac days.)
Would like to see Fed get a win in a slam final against Nadal to cement his legacy.

Re: French Open
I am very happy for Roger, I think he's a very good figure to represent tennis and plainly deserves plainly this missing victory. FOr the moment, he deserves plainly the title of best players of all time but the king will have to work hard to stay atop of the throne as other great and young wolves like Nadal are in a very good position to eventually climb atop.
