Top 5 five setters which Roger Federer won

Roger Federer v Andy Roddick (Wimbledon Final, 2009)

The Championships - Wimbledon 2009 Day Thirteen

Before Nadal stormed into the scene, the regular threat that Federer received was from the American Andy Roddick. A former World No. 1 himself, he had been continuously exasperated with Federer's brilliance having been handed two back-to-back final defeats in Wimbledon '04 and '05.

After the 2005 encounter, Roddick couldn't hold himself back or his frustration and said, “I’d really like to hate you but you’re just too nice.” The enigma that is Federer clashed off with Roddick yet again in 2009 when defending champion, Nadal had pulled out of the Championship citing knee tendinitis.

In yet another memorable five-set nail-biting face-off, Big W played host to the longest men's singles final match in terms of the number of games played, where Federer and Roddick fought it out over a delicious 5–7, 7–6(8–6), 7–6(7–5), 3–6, 16–14 intense battle.

The Swiss Maestro emerged victorious yet again and reclaimed his Numero Uno spot on the ATP Rankings, by winning his 15th Grand Slam title, surpassing his idol Pete Sampras's record of 14 Majors.
