Today is really a great day! Federer broke the record by winning 15th grand slam title & 6th Wimbledon, defeating A-rod by 5-7, 7-6(8-6), 7-6(7-5) 3-6 and 16-14. Pete Sampras(14 grand slam & 7 Wimbledon) himself was the witness. With this win Federer again became the world's no.1 pushing Nadal to the second no.
The 2009 men's singles final is really one of the best tennis match in the history of Wimbledon. I thought Federer will easily win this match as A-rod lost 18 matches out of 20 which he played against Federer but for my surprise, Roddick really put a great challenge for him and even Federer praised the fighting qualities of Roddick.
Actually Roddick showed it before in the semifinal win over Andy Murray as a 6th rank player defeated a 3rd rank player. Today the final match was so close and awesome that i stuck to the TV till it finished. The final set lasted for 1 hour and 35 minutes and i left my dinner because of the match. But now i am having beer :D
Let us see who will win the Wimbledon men's singles final next year(if Nadal will not play)! :-)
