The One and Only

Roger Federer def. Andy Roddick

5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 16-14

Roger Federer and his 15^th Grand Slam title

Roger Federer made history yesterday when he won The Championships Wimbledon and broke Pete Sampras’s record of 14 titles. Sampras was there to witness the event, smiling when Andy Roddick apologized in jest for not being able to stop Federer from breaking the record. Shely and I practically camped in the living room and watched for hours. The great match ended at around 1:30am local time so I slept pretty late last night. Well, at one point I was gonna give up watching cause I was thinking that they are never gonna be able to break each other’s point so it could go on forever. Federer had many chances and he blew them. Finally, after more than four hours into the game, he finally managed to break Roddick’s serve and won the match. As a bonus, Federer got his No.1 ranking back. Everytime he wins a Grand Slam title, there’s always more than one record to put in the history book. He is indeed the greatest player in history.

Roddick was clearly disappointed
