14-15-16



The Wimbledon Finals is another one of the must-see games in the history of tennis. Roger Federer and Andy Roddick in a four-hour, 16-minute epic match with 16-14 games in the fifth set.

Whoah, just whoah.

It was totally worth watching. Well, considering it was the only game in Wimbledon this year that I considered watching, it should be at least worth my time. Haha.

Federer has finally beaten Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles with his 15th today. And he also got back his title of World #1 in tennis (aww, poor Nadal).

Kudos to both him and Roddick.




Okay, so I was really rooting for Andy Roddick ever since he won against Andy Murray in the semis. You can really see how much his tennis improved. And to think he was able to hold on his own against Federer in a match that lasted 30 games in the fifth set (considering their usual games only last three sets), he is definitely worthy of praise.

I think his last unforced error was a really big blow to him. He worked so hard to get that far only to give Federer the title. He was sooooo close to getting a Wimbledon title. Sigh. Better luck next time, I guess. He was still able to joke around during the awarding ceremony but he really looked so devastated afterwards. I feel like hugging him. Haha. XD

I'm looking forward to the US Open. Nadal, I shall see you there, hopefully. You were much missed during your absence in the Wimbledon. Get well, soon. :)

And Djokovic, you better train your ass off. I wanna see you reach the semis at least. You're still hot, though. LOL. :))
