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!

Yea, I agree with you that you need 50% luck in golf. Only your luck does not help in tennis grand slam to win 7 consecutive 5 setter match.

Today, I kept myself busy watching Golf in TNT. Lets see if 60 years old 'Watson' lift the trop

I agree absolutely, no comparison, and although I'm not denying that skill is required in golf, surely a lot more luck is required!

Take care

Peoples are comparing Roger and Tiger Woods in terms of the majors they have won.

But, I think 'Golf' is completely different game to be compared with 'Tennis'

You see, in today's British Open Championship (Golf Major), almost 60 years old 'Watson'

The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The farther you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your fifty-faces away
No matter cos theres..........
