Finally, Wimbledon’09 has come to an end with a spectacular men’s singles-final. It’s always a nightmare for Andy Roddick to play against Roger Federer. It was a wonderful match which lasted for nearly 4hours and 15 minutes. Roddick, who won the first set 7-5, lost the next two sets to Federer. Roddick, who was lagging the fourth set 0-2, came back strongly and won the fourth set as 6-3. The final set lasted for more than an hour before Federer won it in dramatic style 16-14. This is Federer’s 15th grand slam title going past Pete Sampras’s 14 grand slam titles. Pete who was present for this marathon match uttered that he (Roger) is an icon. Roddick has lost the match, but he has won the hearts of millions of tennis fans for his amazing game that he played. The 27 year old Swiss player has clinched his 6th Wimbledon title just one behind Sampras who has won 7 Wimbledon titles. He is not far away from breaking this record. Roger is now at the top of the ranks table after winning the Wimbledon title 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14.
