FEDEX - The true champ

Roger Federer, called Fedex has achieved what tennis players have not achieved.. 15 grand slams.. And what a way to get that 15th Grand Slam - longest 5th set in a Wimbledon final. The score line finally read 5-7. 7-6(6), 7-6(5), 3-6, 16-14.

Andy Roddick (A-Rod) the man on the opposite side gave everything he had and played his best tennis. Fedex was not at his best but still managed to get through A-Rod.

The celebrities in the final included Sachin Tendulkar, Sir Alex Ferguson and tennis greats, Pete Sampras, Bjorn Borg, John Mcnroe and Rod Laver. The only sore point was Rafeal Nadal was not there. It would have been fun if Fedex had defeated Rafa for his 15th grand slam..

In the process, Fedex has become World No. 1. Lets hope he completes the year with his 16th Grandslam in US Open.
