It's not the way you want a great match at a major championship like the French Open to end, but Rafael Nadal claimed his seventh French Open title in four sets when Novak Djokovic double faulted.

French Open Final Set for 7AM Monday

With Rafael Nadal trying to protect a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 1-2 lead over a surging Novak Djokovic, who's seeded No. 1. A tarp was pulled over the court, and after another hour or so, the decision was made to stop for the day and resume Monday.

Nadal and Djokovic were scheduled to resume at 1 p.m. local time (7 a.m. EDT) on Monday, when the forecast calls for intermittent rain. NBC, which aired Sunday's action, said Monday's U.S. TV coverage will shift to NBC Sports Network, a cable channel in about 35 million fewer homes than the broadcast network. It also will be streamed online at NBCSports.com.

The Highs and Lows of Thomas Levet's Sunday

French golfer Thomas Levet was on top of the world Sunday for winning the French Open Golf Championship.  That win in his home country earned him a coveted spot in the British Open next week.

Then Levet had a brain fart.  He decided to jump into a lake to celebrate his victory.  The water wasn't quite as deep as Levet thought and he landed badly and hurt his leg.  But is is serious?

New now comes out that Levet withdrew Wednesday from the year's third major after being ruled out for six weeks with a broken shin.  You can tell from the video clip below he knew he did something stupid as he limped out of the lake.

His spot at Royal St. George's will go to Robert Garrigus of the United States.

"I am extremely disappointed to miss out on the Open Championship, but my specialist has advised me to have an operation on the fracture," said the 42-year-old Levet.

Levet's celebration at the 18th green of Le Golf National outside Paris were criticized by Colin Montgomerie, who played alongside the Frenchman in Europe's Ryder Cup-winning side in 2004.

I don't know what is worse for Levet; the fact that he broke his shin and is out of the British Open, or the fact that his is being criticized by "Monte".

French Open Men's Singles Prediction

I see this as a pretty easy pick.  Forget the career head to head, forget it's clay, forget how these two great champions are playing.

This is Nadal's match to lose and he's not going to lose.
