Roger Federer creates history

Roger Federer is very happy to be in the World No.1 position again after winning the Wimbledon 2009 Men’s Singles Final against Roddick. In fact Andy Roddick won more games than Federer in the final. He has broken the World Record of Pete Sampras by winning 15 Grand Slam titles. The five set match lasted for 4 hours and 16 minutes following Federer created the record. Federer won Andy Roddick 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14, the longest fifth set in Grand Slam history in terms of games. Federer did not even break a single game of his opponent until the last game. He broke only one game and that was the last game when they were 15-14 with Federer leading with one game. The Wimbledon final ended in the 30th game of the fifth set. This was Federer’s sixth Wimbledon title and he is behind Sampras by just one Championship title. The match was incredibly tense, with Roddick's powerful serve and Federer's masterful ball control both being tested to their limits. Federer’s 50 aces were one short of the Wimbledon record held by Ivo Karlovic. Federer had a total of 107 winners, compared with 38 unforced errors. Roddick had 27 aces, 74 winners and 33 unforced mistakes.
