After his wins in the Monte Carlo and Rome Masters Series events Rafael Nadal finally had his incredible 81-match winning run on clay ended by Roger Federer in the final in Hamburg. Despite that rare reverse it's still hard to see him failing to add another Roland Garros title to his CV. An awesome forehand, hugely-spun groundstrokes and great court speed make him the man they all have to beat here.
