Roger makes history!

05.07.2009 | Tennis

In a dramatic encounter that lasted over four hours Roger made history today! He defeated Andy Roddick to land a record-breaking 15th Grand Slam title in a thrilling final in Wimbledon, winning 5-7 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 and 16-14.

His words after the amazing success were: "It's not one of those goals you set as a young boy. It feels amazing. I don't play tennis to break records, but this is a great one to have." Roger is the first tennis professional ever to have reached the mark of 15 Grand-Slam titles as he broke Pete Sampras' record. Pete followed the epic match in the

stadium today.

It was a hard piece of work for Roger as Andy Roddick pressured him with his strong serve. The two stretched the match all the way and played the longest set in tennis history! Roger was the happy winner today, with Andy surrendering a good loser.

And now Roger regains the world number 1 spot after his glorious victory - way to go!

Currently there is an incredible void in my tennis world, as my addiction to watching the magic and brilliance of the greatest of all time, Roger Federer, is not being fulfilled.

To no avail, I attempt to satisfy my appetite for the Prince of all playe

Some people are still questioning whether Roger deserves the GOAT because of his H2H with Nadal. Some people are just envious. It is absolutely clear Roger is above every one else. Nadal did not appear in that many GS as Roger did except mostly in Roland

I agree with all that, excepting the fact that you do know your tennis and your English is GOOD!

They are having to put in 100%, 100% of the time, and have more than their fair share of luck to beat Roger, AND be on their preferred
