Roger Federer

6 times Wimbledon Champion and the most successful Grand Slam player ever - Roger Federer.

I stayed up until nearly 3am watching the men's singles final. Federer vs. Roddick. Roddick started so strong, taking the first set and had 3 set points in the second set tie break - none of which he was able to convert. Federer took the third in another tie break but Roddick broke serve again in the fourth, winning that one 6-3. The fifth set was insane. Both players were holding serve and it was just a matter of time. Finally, at 14-15 (Federer), Federer had a Championship point. That was the first time that Federer had actually managed to break Roddick's serve. The game was over 4 hours long.

Everyone was rooting for Roddick. I love both players but it would've been nice to see Roddick win - just because he never has. He played his best game and still lost. And even though Federer only broke his serve once, he still lost. His heartbreak was all over his face for the world to see and it was so sad, I nearly cried. Watching him watch Federer parade the trophy around the court was awful! He just look so gutted. Understandably.

It was a great match but I would've enjoyed it more if I wasn't battling to stay awake. It got to 2am and I just wanted the whole thing to be over so that I could go to sleep. And you should never think like that about a Wimbledon final.

Federer - what an incredible player. He deserves every piece of success - he is so SMOOTH on the court. Such a stylish player, he's always a pleasure to watch.

That man is in a league of his own.

Congratulations!
