Roger Federer ended Rafael Nadal’s 33-match clay winning streak at the Madrid Open 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday.

“There are no positives, there is little to analyze,” said Nadal. “He broke and broke and I went home.”

The victory is only Federer’s second ever over Nadal on a clay surface.

“Things are falling into place and of course it’s the right time to get the victory,” Federer said, looking forward to the French Open which begins on May 24th.

The win was a much needed confidence boost for Federer, who has been playing poorly as of late.
