Roger Federer became the sixth man in history to win all four Grand Slam singles titles when he produced an exceptional performance to defeat Swede Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-6(1), 6-4 in the Roland Garros final on Sunday. Victory for Federer also saw him tie Pete Sampras’ all-time record of 14 major singles titles.
I’ve never been a huge Roger Federer fan but after watching last night’s French Open 09 finals, I have to say that he’s really the greatest player of all time. To win a grand slam is not easy but to win in all four is just incredible. And I think he could win another one… not that I want him to (haha) but it’s not really impossible for someone like him. Anyway, congratulations to Roger Federer! After years of losing to Nadal in Roland Garros, I think he deserved to win this year. 🙂
I do hope Rafa Nadal could win Wimbeldon again and the US Open this year (the only slam he hasn’t won) 🙂 And then he’ll be the seventh man in history to win all four Grand Slams. heh. 😀 I also really hope Andy Roddick will win another slam but with Nadal & Federer still in the race, it’s not going to be easy for him. But he’s doing really well this year so … *cross fingers* 😀

I really wish Federer would have won his record tying 14th Grand Slam title against Nadal, but in any case, he finally won his elusive French Open title. In my humble opinion, Federer is the best of all-time.
