Roger Federer said he had no huge complaints over his 7-5 7-6 (7/3) 5-7 6-1 French Open final loss to rival Rafael Nadal.

The Spaniard won on Sunday to equal Bjorn Borg's record of six Roland Garros crowns while Federer was back in a grand slam final for the first time since the Australian Open last year.

The Swiss ace was pleased with his display, although he knew the chances had been there for it to be so much better.

He said: "I'm the one that's playing with smaller margins, so obviously I'm always going to go through a few more ups and downs, whereas Rafa is content doing the one thing for the entire time.

"So it's always me who's going to dictate play and decide how the outcome is going to be. If I play well, I will most likely win, if I'm not playing so well, that's when he wins.

"But I thought Rafa played well. I think he dug deep to come back in the first set and get himself into the match. And also the second set.

"It was tough all the way through. I thought we played at a very high level and I was pretty happy with the way I played today.

"I don't have huge complaints but obviously there were some missed opportunities, because you'll always have plenty against him on clay. So if you lose, you always look at those.

"Overall I'm very happy about the tournament. Obviously you should be disappointed after losing in a grand slam final. I feel that a little bit today."
