Roger Federer once again made history as he defeats Andy Roddick during a four hour marathon winning 5-7 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 and 16-14. Federer won his sixth Wimbledon title as well as his 15th Grand Slam championship. Pete Sampras who won 14 major titles was even amazed by the 27 year old’s obvious determination and vitality.

According to an article by Stephen Wilson on Yahoo Sports, Sampras said and I quote

“I have to give it to him,” said Sampras, a seven-time Wimbledon champion who never thought his record of 14 major titles would be surpassed so soon. “He’s won all the majors. He’s won 15 now. He’s going to win a few more here. So in my book he is (the greatest).”

“He’s a stud,” Sampras said. “He’s only 27. He’ll contend here for many years, and the U.S. Open, and all the majors. If he just keeps it going and stays healthy, he could go to 18, 19, potentially.The guy, he’s a legend. Now he’s an icon.”

Federer’s words after his 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.”
