2006 French Open - Men's Singles

Rafael Nadal was the defending champion, and won in the final 1–6, 6–1, 6–4, 7–6, against Roger Federer.-Seeds:# Roger Federer # Rafael Nadal ...

 in a Grand Slam event for the first time in his career. Before the tournament, he lost four consecutive times in the first round of a Grand Slam. At the 2008 Monte Carlo Masters, he was close to defeating world No.1 Roger Federer. Hidalgo lost the first set 1–6, but he went on to win the second 6–3. At the start of the third set, he quickly broke Federer twice and went 4–0 up. At that point, when playing the second point of the fifth game, Hidalgo attempted to embarrass the world No.1 by hitting a straightforward "hot-dog" shot to pass Federer, even though the court was well open for him just to hit a normal "winner". But ironically, that was the shot that supposedly self-destructed Hidalgo, when an angry but determined Federer went on to win 5 games in a row from being 5–1 down, then eventually took the set to a tiebreak and won it by 7 points to 1. The final score 6–1, 3–6, 7–6(1).
