In a thrilling encounter, the Majorcan withstood a Federer fightback after failing to capitalise when two sets and a break in front."To win this final against one the best players in the world and in history is something which is really fantastic for me. It's one of my most beautiful dreams," said Nadal
"Congratulations to Rafa for having won the tournament once again. He played a super match," said the Swiss.Federer, 29, had begun in the same flowing form that ended Djokovic's 43-match unbeaten run in the semi-finals, pressuring the five-time champion with his forehand and breaking at the first opportunity.
Nadal, who had treatment on his feet for what appeared to be blisters, appeared nervous and the first set was heading to Federer when the Swiss dominated on set point at 5-3, running around his forehand and creating space for a drop shot, only to see it land a fraction wide.
A cross-court backhand got Nadal out of trouble and began a stunning turnaround as the Spaniard suddenly found the depth and vicious spin off his groundstrokes that have helped him dominate at Roland Garros.Federer could only find the net with a volley when Nadal fired a forehand down the line on break-back point in game nine, and two equally blistering forehands and a magical lob volley helped the champion move ahead at 6-5.
