Mens Championship:
It was an epic barn burner that ripped the heart and soul out of Andy Roddick as he lost in a 5 set historic record breaking match, final set 16-14. Roddick literally played the game of his life channeling every ounce of skill he had. We've never seen him play like that and it took Roger almost 4 and 1/2 hours to win his historic 15th Grand Slam title, making him The Greatest Tennis Player That Ever Lived. Federer hit a record 50 aces today.
Earlier in the tournament it had been an great semifinal Battle of the Andy's with Roddick spoiling the Queen's plans to honor Murray today. It was Roddick's best shot at a slam in a while and what a shame. He gave his heart and soul and this was his best chance. Without Rafael Nadal involved, Federer wins everything.
Ladies Championship:
Another Battle of the Williams Sisters saw Serena the victor this time, spoiling big sis Venus's shot at defending the title.
A word on the Williams Sisters.
No one likes them. They've been too controversial, their father is a big pain and they're not the cookie cutter type of American Sports Hero that we like. Let's not let that ruin the fact that they are 2 of America's Greatest Super-letes Ever. These two are worthy of the same praise and glory heaped upon any American sports hero. We have to keep in mind that they've individually both ruled the sport and together they are like the Borg. Unstoppable. And their opponents know that resistance is futile
Venus quick stats: 7 Grand Slam Titles, 9 Doubles Slam Titles, 3 Gold Medals
Serena Quick States: 11 Grand Slam Titles, 9 Doubles Slam Titles, 2 Gold Medals
If Richard Williams had born a son that was tall, athletic and mean like Venus and muscular, athletic and mean like Serena, he would probably be invincible.
