Federer didn't thank me: ManÂ who beat Nadal at French Open
Former Swedish tennis player Robin SÃ¶derling, who had become the first man to defeat Rafael Nadal at French Open in 2009, jokingly said he is still waiting for Roger Federer to thank him. "When he saw I beat Rafa, I think he was a little bit happy, of course," SÃ¶derling added. Federer won his only French Open title in 2009.
