Roger Federer and Andy Roddick were responsible for one of the greatest ever spectacles in the history of tennis. The five set marathon eventually ended with Roger Federer prevailing 16-14 in the final set. One could only look on in marvel at a match that saw the lead and momentum constantly change.

Roger Federer became the most successful Grand Slam player in history when he again claimed the Wimbledon title. Pete Sampras (the former record holder) was on hand and lead the admiration for the Swiss Champion. The debate about the greatest ever tennis player has started to rage again but it is hard going to mount any argument against Federer’s claims.

American Roddick should be commended on his born again approach to tennis. He is fitter, leaner and hungrier than ever and should add to the only Grand Slam title he won as a young up and comer at the US Open in 2003. Australian Lleyton Hewitt was another that has shown an amazing form reversal in the latter part of his career and good performances at Wimbledon and the French Open will stand him in good stead in the next few years.

We now get a little break in the Grand Slam schedule before turning our attentions to the last Grand Slam of the year in New York later this year.
