Another of Federer’s favourite titles came nine years ago when he finally lifted the Coupe des Mousquetaires at Roland Garros. It was Federer’s fourth consecutive final and he had lost the previous three to Nadal. Robin Soderling stunned Nadal in the fourth round in 2009 and Federer defeated the Swede in the final.
