Roger Federer won his record 15th Grand Slam title after beating Andy Roddick, 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-14, in a record-breaking match.

“It’s not really one of those goals you set as a little boy, but man, it’s been quite a career and quite a month,” Federer said. “It feels amazing, but this is not why I’m playing tennis to break all sort of different records. But it’s definitely one of the greatest ones to have.”

The match went 30 games in the 5th set and lasted 4 hours and 16 minutes.

“It’s frustrating at times because I couldn’t break Andy till the very, very end,” said Federer. “So satisfaction is maybe bigger this time around to come through, because I couldn’t control the match at all.”

Even though he lost Roddick played the best tennis of his life and he should be proud of his performance.

“I was just trying to survive each time and hold serve and give myself a shot,” Roddick said. “It didn’t work out, but I definitely gave myself a look.”

Congratulations to both Federer and Roddick for playing their hearts out and putting on one heck of a show.
