Roger Federer has reclaimed his Wimbledon crown, and taken out a record 15th Grand Slam title,
after his win over Andy Roddick in another epic Wimbledon final. Last year's final was a long-lasting
thriller that went down to the wire, as was this year's Australian Open final; and the final this time was
another classic.
With a break in the 12th game, Andy Roddick took the first set against Roger Federer, but the Swiss
champion fought back to take the 2nd and 3rd sets in tie-breaks. The 4th set would go to Roddick 6-3,
and the match would go to a decider.
Neither side was willing to concede any ground, and it became a war of nerves and attrition, both
players waiting for the other to crack; but no crack came. Roddick had an opening when he held two
match points, Federer serving at 6-7 and 15-40; but fought back to hold his serve and the epic contest
continued.
Finally in the 30th game, Federer created an opportunity and broke the Roddick serve. With a mixture
of elation and exhaustion, Federer acknowledged the generous crowd applause and the handshake
of his opponent. It had been an amazing final, and to have back-to-back classic finals should create
more interest than ever when The Championships rolls around again next year.
