Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14 to capture his 15th Grand Slam title, giving him the all-time record for Slams. Federer leaves Pete Sampras behind at 14 titles, but it took a record 30 game fifth-set for Federer to unseat Sampras. Unfortunately, Andy Roddick comes up short again but he didn’t lose. He was beaten by a legend.
Nike had this commercial featuring Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Pete Sampras, Serena Williams, and John McEnroe congratulating Federer on standby.
Pete Sampras is pretty cool about having the record taken. It’s probably easy to since the writing’s been on the wall for a few years. You can knock Federer by saying he got his 15th while Rafael Nadal was out with injury, but Roddick gave Roger everything Rafael would’ve. Number 15 is legit.
