Sunday, Roger Federer, won an all-time record 15th Grand Slam singles title.
The Swiss superstar, who was contesting a record seventh successive Wimbledon men’s singles final, served a personal-best 50 aces as he prevailed in a marathon five-set final against long-time rival Andy Roddick 5-7, 7-6(6), 7-6(5), 3-6, 16-14 after four hours and 16 minutes to claim his sixth crown at The Championships. Roddick’s serve was inpenetrable until the final game of the match, when Federer clinched victory on his first match point and seventh break point. Until then, Roddick had held 37 straight service games.
