Wimbledon 2009: Def. Andy Roddick in the final

Facing his old rival Andy Roddick once again, Federer came back from a one year drought of winning Wimbledon title to claim his 6^th one at the All England Club.

In another epic clash, he outlasted the American 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14, which turned out to be the longest ever Wimbledon final in terms of games played. The numbers were big and they were formidable. Federer rained down 50 aces, his personal best, but Roddick was perhaps the better server – he was broken just once all day, and that too in the very last game of the match.

The five-setter was nail biting from start to finish, but the King regained his crown and clinched his 15^th Major trophy. In the process, he also became the most successful male player in the history of tennis, eclipsing Pete Sampras’ record of 14 Grand Slam titles.
