Roger Federer, my tennis hero once again proved that "you can go down and come back stronger" when he conquered a resilient Andy Roddick last night (morning in the UK)..
Ever since I started blogging, I have always been keeping tab of this icon and he's been an inspiration for me personally.
.
He became tennis's greatest men's Grand Slam champion of all time (15 times in total), as he beat Andy Roddick 5-7 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 16-14 in 4hr: 16 minutes to claim his 6th Wimbledon crown. This surpassed the all time Grand Slam achievement of Pete Sampras, Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver.

I watched the match for the whole of the 4 hours duel and in the end I must say it was impossible not to feel for Andy Roddick; they were each other's equal for nearly the entire game.

.Definately contented and happy, I went to bed at 2.00am, thinking there's nothing impossible in this world; when we do things wholehartedly and to the best of our ability, we would not be too worry about what outcome may come our way because we can do only so much, the rest we leave them to God.

Roger is now in a class of his own and I have nothing but belief that he has a lot still to offer in this sport.
