Nadal beat Federer the defending champion 7-5, 6-7, 6-3 in less than 3 hours. In the first two sets, Federer lead Nadal by 5-2 but somehow Nadal fought back and win the first set and almost did it again in the second. Now Nadal has raise their head-to-head to 10-6. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/SDGDpUl_9fI/AAAAAAAABqM/sJSMOcU9Yo0/s1600-h/jelena+jankovic.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Qg6J04XZhR4/SDGDpUl_9fI/AAAAAAAABqM/sJSMOcU9Yo0/s320/jelena+jankovic.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202083790515598834" border="0" /></a>In Rome, Jelena Jankovic had a splashing time (with Italian <a href="http://www.finewaters.com/Bottled_Water/Italy/Ferrarelle.asp">Ferraelle</a> spring water - sparkling bottled water) defending the WTA Rome International by beating Alize Cornet 6-2, 6-2.
