Cant say anything more!
I know, It wasnt easy, and he wasnt in his best form. He was almost desperate to find a way to break Roddick's serve, when Roddick broke his game twice. But He did in the end, only he could do it. And he stands tall with his 15 grand slam titles by winning in the most crazy grand slam final yesterday!
50 Aces! Oh my! :D
I thought it wasnt his day, when I saw Roddick play! But indeed, he was the chosen one in the end, one had to be winner and he is the winner.
One of the longest final match. With Sampras there to see his record broken.
"I tried to hold him of Pete" - Roddick. He had the power to break Federer! It was scary for a moment, that he is going to lose yet again.
