Wimbledon 2005: Def. Andy Roddick in the final

With a change of hairstyle and a rapid escalation in style and finesse of play, the auburn locks of Roger Federer were destined for another crown on the hallowed turf. Galloping to a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles by defeating old nemesis Roddick once again, the King ably defended his kingdom.
