ATP: It'll be Federer vs. Nadal once again in French final

Paris, France (Sports Network) - Ten-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer and reigning two-time French Open titlist Rafael Nadal will meet in a blockbuster final at Roland Garros for a second straight year here on Sunday.
The top-seeded Federer was anything but sharp in his semifinal, as the Swiss superstar bested fourth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko in 7-5, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (9-7) fashion on Day 13 at Roland Garros, while the second-seeded Nadal won his 20th straight French Open match by dousing sixth-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic 7-5, 6-4, 6-2.
Nadal bested Federer in four sets in last year's finale here and erased the Swiss in the 2005 French Open semis.
The 25-year-old Federer needed just over three hours to sneak past Davydenko on Court Chatrier, and prevailed despite piling up 48 unforced errors.
Fortunately for the Swiss great, who ripped 10 aces on his way to the tough victory, Davydenko was even sloppier on Friday, as the Russian committed 58 errors, had five double faults and was broken four times.
Davydenko had an opportunity to get back into the match, as he held a 5-2 lead in the third set, but Federer charged back in the stanza and ultimately came out on top in the tiebreak by converting on a second match point, which came when the Russian misfired wide on a soft two-handed backhand.
"I could have lost in three sets," Federer said. "He's an excellent player. It's a superb win for me before the final."
The 26-year-old Davydenko, who appeared in the Aussie Open quarters back in January, has now lost in two French Open semis in the last three years.
