Paris: Roger Federer defeated Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4 in the French Open final Sunday to become the sixth man in tennis history to win all four Grand Slam titles.
The second-seeded Federer took one hour and 55 minutes to beat the 23rd-seeded Swede Soderling, who had upset four-time winner and world number one Rafael Nadal earlier in the tournament.
Federer joined Fred Perry, Don Budge, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver and Andre Agassi as winners of all four majors.
The Swiss also drew even with Pete Sampras on a record 14 Grand Slam victories, his other wins being five each at Wimbledon and the US Open and three Australian Opens.
