It was definitely unbelievable when Roger Federer enter his 20th Grand Slam final in his whole career and Andy Roddick first went into a final of Grand Slam event since 2006. They were surely anticipating each other at the match which is held at Centre Court on a sunny day. History will be made here today.
They had their warm-up first and Roger Federer is still wearing the special coat design for Wimbledon and Andy Roddick was hugging his racquet eager for the match.
Before entering the match, of course we have some special guest come to see the final. That is Pete Sampras, who won 14 Grand Slams in total and 7 of them is at Wimbledon. They are carving for more amazing tennis after that epic final last year where Roger Federer lost to Rafael Nadal in 5 sets in a record 5 hours and 14 minutes. It was totally out of the world. Some said it was the best tennis in history.Set 1
Andy Roddick does his usual duty by giving a spectacular serving show and some nice volleys. Roger Federer also did some nice moves. The set end with 7-5, won by Andy Roddick.
Set 2
The tie-breaker of the second set was simply awesome !!! Roger Federer was 2-6 down at set point. He went into winning 6 straight points to end the set 7-6 (8-6). Isn't that AWESOME!!!
Set 3
The third set was not that good as the second set. Till now Roger Federer hasn't once broke Andy Roddick's serve. The set end up with ROger's favour by winning it 7-6 (7-5).
Set 4
The thing I do not like about Andy ROddick is his temper. But he is a very good boy throughout this Wimbledon tournament. The thing I like about Andy Roddick is his breathing method. Before he hits a ball, he inhale all the air and put in into his mouth as shown in the picture. He exhale when he hits the ball. That is why he has great serve. Roger Federer should learn from the experience American. Back to set 4, it was all about Andy Roddick. He broke Roger Federer's serve twice and win the set by 6-3.
Set 5
Some may say it was the longest set in the world. Some may say it was a boring set as both players win by serving well. I would like to say it is simply AWESOME!!! This game end up at 16-14 in Roger Federer's way. I think this is the longest set that i ever saw since i pick up tennis as my favourite sport to watch. It lasted for 95 minutes. Phewittt....!!!! :D . At 14-14, Roger Federer finally able to break Andy Roddick once. And won his serve and claim the title.
Conclusion of the match
Roger Federer won Andy Roddick 5-7, 7-6(8-6), 7-6(7-5), 3-6, 16-14

The glory
5 months pregnant Mirka Vavrinec, wife to Roger Federer was indeed very happy and went down to congratulate his husband.
Roger Federer was definitely happy to have won his 15 Grand Slams titles. Now he deserves more to be called the greatest tennis player of all time. He became the World no.1 again after beating Andy Roddick. I hope this position will remain as long as possible.
Andy Roddick can do nothing but to wait for another opportunity to come. Although he is strong outside, I believed there is a sank ship in there. :(
That's all of Wimbledon activities from London. We shall see you next time. Thanks for watching. farewell, Wimbledon!!! :D
