15 and counting!!!



15 and Counting .... Yes, RF has done, winning his 15th Grand Slam title after yet another marathon at the Wimbledon final. Last year he was at wrong end but this year it was different. I have written enough about RF and my passion for his game, however, I felt that Roddick deserved to win yesterday.

Watching Roddick from the Q/F stage, I was really really amazed the way he played. He was simply outstanding, a remarkable turn around indeed from last year. As Roger said "he would win a grand slam soon", one could see it in him now. To think of the fact that the only game that Roger broke in the entire match was the game that snatched the match away from him is really astonishing, and that's why I pity Roddick and felt he deserved to win the match.

At the end of it I feel henceforth, men's tennis will be much more competitive. I believe we will see a lot more upsets in the coming grandslam's. However, I am also sure that 15 is not the final number that RF is going end up with.

hey saw the video today where he already had the 15 printed on his jacket..I think that's disrespectful to Roddick and I wasn't impressed with that! :|

@Anand - I disagree - it was not that he had worn it before he started off the match - I agree it would have been printed but he wouldn't have worn it had he lost ;-) also I think it must be Nike's idea ... so can't blame him
