Record seventh straight Wimbledon final!

03.07.2009 | Tennis

Roger is just one more win away from making tennis history! He advanced to his record seventh straight Wimbledon final today, defeating Tommy Haas 7-6(3), 7-5, 6-3.

 

"I'm very happy with my performance and it's unbelievable to back into another Wimbledon final," Roger said. "I've had a lot of pressure over all the years, so this is just another great match, great opportunity for me to get into the history books."

 

Tommy Haas held the pace during the two-plus hour match, but Roger was simply superior. A victory in Sunday's final would give our champ his unprecedented 15th Grand Slam title, which would break a tie with Hall of Famer Pete Sampras. Roger said he would be happy if Pete came to Wimbledon to watch him try to break his record. "He might come around, he might not. It's his choice. I'd love to see him because he's a good friend of mine. Very honored of course that I share the record of 14 with him."

 

If Roger wins, he will be the third player to win six or more Wimbledon titles. William Renshaw and Sampras both won seven. He will face Great Britain's Andy Murray or American Andy Roddick on Sunday.

***Boting not really, grass court or no grass court, if you play better you can always hold serve. Roger is not playing well on this serve, he kind of relaxed a little bit but if it goes to 5 sets, he has the mental ability to come out a winner. All he ne

Roger, when Roddick's on serve, intentionally make some room for him at one side, half step forward, at least, a half chance to get his serve. What do you think?

Roger, keep calm, you have a set on hand.

***Boting, yes, you have to be positive no matter what, yes - he lost his serve and is 4-1 down but anything can happen, he is still Roger Federer and can handle the pressure better than anyone.

Roger gets broken for the second time, but he's having a hard time breaking Andy's serve, he can't lose this set no matter what. He has to find a way to break Andy and get back pn serve. Can he do it? I hope so.
