Roger defeated in epic final
01.02.2009 | Tennis
Roger had to put on hold his quest to match Pete Sampras with 14 Grand Slam singles titles today. He was defeated by Rafael Nadal in another epic five-set final 5-7, 6-3, 6-7(3), 6-3, 2-6.
After 4 hours and 23 minutes on court Roger could not hold back his tears during the prize ceremony, showing how much this title would have meant to him. Our star was trying to equal Pete Sampras' record 14 major titles but has now lost to Nadal the last three times they've met in Grand Slam finals.

Win or lose, you will forever be known as the greatest man ever to play tennis. This loss is nothing. You can win everything. I believe in you. Good luck for your upcoming matches.
