Roger Federer won a record 15th Grand Slam for men's singles, by winning the 2009 Wimbledon Championships. He beat Andy Roddick in a very competitive & hard-fought final. The match went to 5 sets, with the final set being won 16-14. Remarkable!
Federer had equalled Pete Sampras' 14 Grand Slams last month, when he won the 2009 French Open - his first French Open title. Now, with the Wimbledon win (his 6th Wimbledon title), Federer is out in front on his own with 15 Grand Slams. He still has a few more years left in him, so one wonders how many Grand Slams he will end up with - no one will be surprised he ends up with more than 20.
Roger Federer is a great champion. Enormously talented, but also very professional, humble & very sporting. A great ambassador for tennis. I think he has now regained the world number 1 ranking for men's singles, from Rafael Nadal. I like both players, so it's all good.
Congratulations to the Federer Express!
