Federer Wins 15th Title

Not a big tennis fan, but I have to admit I sat down and watched the Roddick vs. Federer match yesterday. I was real lucky, since it was probably the greatest tennis match of all time. It took 77 games in 4 hours 16 minutes for Federer finally to put away Roddick. I was pulling for Roddick the whole time. He has an amazing serve that he hits anywhere from 133-143 MPH, which is just fucking silly. In the end Roddick just could play any defense, and really just held on with his amazing serve. Federer now is the winningest tennis player of all time. Props for that and props to Reddick for putting on a great show...

Roger Federer
Roger Federer (born on August 8, 1981) is a Swiss professional tennis player who is currently ranked World No. 2. He was the World No. 1 ranked player for a record 237 consecutive weeks, from February 2, 2004, to August 17, 2008. Federer is widely considered one of the greatest male singles tennis players of all time.
Federer has won 13 Grand Slam singles titles (3 Australian Open, 5 Wimbledon, 5 US Open), currently just one shy of all-time leader Pete Sampras. He also has won 4 ATP World Tour Finals titles, 14 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, and 26 standard ATP tour titles. He holds numerous records in the sport, including having appeared in 10 consecutive Grand Slam men's singles finals (2005 Wimbledon Championships through the 2007 US Open) and 19 consecutive Grand Slam singles semifinals (2004 Wimbledon–present). He also holds the open era records for most consecutive wins on both grass courts (65) and hard courts (56). He also has a storied rivalry with Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who succeeded Federer as the World No. 1 player in 2008.
As a result of Federer's successes in the sport, he has been named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for 4 consecutive years (2005–08).

Nadal Continues Epic Dominance over Federer
Count me as one of those who gave Rafa no chance in the Aussie Open finals. Roger was coming in well rested while Nadal was just two days off a 5+ hour semifinal win in grueling 100 degree temperatures. Then factor in Roger's dominance on the hard courts and it just seemed like it was his time to return to the top of the Tennis world.
This was not the case and anybody who slept in and missed this match missed one of the greatest ever played. Not quite 5 hours (this one lasted only 4 hours and 23 mins) Rafa outlasted the former number 1 winning the Australian Open title 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-2. Do yourself a favor and try to watch the replay at 3:30 on ESPN 2.
This rivalry is quickly proving to be one of the best in sports history. It has already surpassed Agassi/Sampras and is quietly taking its place next to the Sox/Yanks, UNC/Duke and Michigan/OSU. Best of all, it is making tennis relevant again. Anytime you can put these two on the same court you know the battle will be intense. You know you won't be watching a straight set anything and you better clear you schedule for a few hours.
