Truly the Best


Today Roger Federer had an amazing championship match against Andy Roddick.  I went in thinking this match was an easy win for Federer, but Roddick really proved me wrong.  5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14 was the score of the match.  Federer broke the record for most games played in the 5th set.  He also had a personal record number of aces with over 50.  Roddick showed true heart while playing this match only broken once during the entire time.  He didn't allow history to happen with any ease.  Federer winning his 6th Wimbledon title puts him at an all time career grandslam record of 15.  I wrote my first post around a month ago congratulating his historic 14th tie with Pete Sampras.  However, this will be a match I'll remember forever because of the heart both players showed and was the undeniable proof that Federer is the greatest of all time.  Congrats Federer, this is your era.
