Nadal is 38-1 over his career at Roland Garros and won his 5th title at Roland Garros without losing a set!!!
Nadal never allowed his hard hitting opponent to dictate points the way Soderling did during his pair of career-defining upsets--

against Nadal in the 4th round last year and against Federer in the quarterfinals this year.
Soderling wasn't hitting the ball as cleanly and as powerfully as he did in earlier rounds, as he might have been feeling tired still from the five set match he played against Berdych in the semifinals.
Nadal played his style of tennis perfectly; swinging violently at the ball to give it tremendous spin and depth and running down every ball with absolute intensity.
Soderling couldn't impose himself physically and Nadal's tenacity and consistency wore Soderling out mentally.
The King of Clay again reigns supreme!
