Roger Federer Wins 2010 Australian Open,16th Grand Slam Title

The champ, Roger Federer as Andy Murray playing second fiddle to him once again.

As expected, Roger Federer had clinched his fourth Australian Open title of his career this year and his never-ending Grand Slam record goes on, currently stands at 16 titles in total. His opponent was none other than Andy Murray of UK,Great Britain. The match ended 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (11).


It was a joy for Roger Federer who won his first Grand Slam as a father to twin daughters,second to do so after Andre Agassi in 2003. And agony for Murray as he was riding the hopes of a British public, most of whom have only read about the last British man to win a singles title in a Grand Slam - Fred Perry in 1936.

Murray celebrating on a point but Federer had the last laugh

It was quite a straight forward match for Roger as he raced to 2 sets up in a relaxed fashion, only to struggle a little in the 3rd set. Murray broke Federer's serve as early as in the 3rd game of the set.


Federer rallied from 5-2 down in the third to force the tiebreaker and, after saving three set points, missed his first chance to finish it off when his forehand just missed the line.


Federer won the lengthy third-set tiebreaker on his third match point after fending off five set points for Murray. He clinched the match in 2 hours, 41 minutes when Murray netted a backhand.

Roger Federer, The Swiss Maestro and No.1 Tennis Player

It was Federer's 22nd Grand Slam final, where he's won a record 16. Federer has appeared in 18 of the past 19 Grand Slam finals only to lose to Rafael Nadal (5 times) and Juan Martin Del Potro in those occasions. What a staggering record !!


p/s- After watching some of Federer's matches in the past 2 weeks, I noticed one thing that made him so special, his Nike apparels !! if you compare the colour of his sports tee and the tennis court background, you can see that both are similar. Going stealth and confusing his opponents perhaps? Great colour choice by him. Well done !!

Roger Federer - Greatest Tennis Player Of All Time!

Roger Federer won a record 15th Grand Slam after beating sixth seed Andy Roddick in an epic fifth set 5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 16-14 in the Wimbledon men's final. Perhaps one of the longest games in history with gametime over 4 hours. Awesome !!

Wah !! that was a stagerring record and overtaken Pete Sampras's GrandSlam title record and it seems that more is on the way. Didn't get to watch the first 4 set, was at <KLIA> sending off my cousin who is flying back to London and so happen he's living 10mins driving distance from Wimbledon..WOW !!

Came and saw the 5th set instead..no one broke each other. Both are waiting for the chance for their opponents to make errors. Too bad, both are equally calm and consistently holding serve like its made of gold..Of course la, if once u got a break, the title is all yours !!

The match real tensed and anxious one. Thought Roddick could have won it cos his tennis was wicked !! Bazooka-like first serve and inch-perfect cross-court forehands and not to mention those wicked volleys at the net.

But Federer was not too bad either. Overpowered Roddick with his aces and winners by 25% more..that was CRAZY !! It all boils down to who gonna lose their concentration first and it seems that Roddick, who are moving around uncomfortably and Federer took the gamble.

True enough Roddick made 2 critical errors when the match was deuce(d) at the point where Federer was leading the set 15-14 games. That has to be said Roddick was too unlucky and if the match would had progressed further, Federer might even lose it. can you imagine, both are like machine !! Playing for 4 hours plus and a winner was still haven decided !!

Nonehtheless, it was the spirit of a champion. Playing his tennis calm and elegantly, Roger Federer, now officially the King of Tennis and reclaimed his No.1 spot in the rankings !! =)

Roger Federer won again !!

Take that, Robin !!

As we have predicted, Soderling was no match for Federer..Roger is on such form, even a player as good as Robin Soderling, playing with guts and determination at the top of his game, was brushed aside with something approaching contempt as the Swiss swept into the quarter final 6-4, 7-6, 7-6.

Overall match was a little boring I would say, not because both of them dint played well but the exchange of service games made it very fast with both of them hitting aces and winning those short exchanges.

There were some nail-biting moments in the 2nd and 3rd set with Soderling returning a few service aces with some 100km/h plus speed !! Intense Intense !! But of course, that was just some minor problems Roger faced from the entire match. At time when he was closed to giving a break point to Robin, his thunderous and well-placed first serve really bail him out of jail and eventually winning those tie-break sets..AWESOMENESS !!

Poor Soderling, was at his best, but utterly bamboozled. Record now stands at 11-0 in favour of Federer. Murray, you have been WARNED !!

Federer advances to 4th Round

Yikes, I missed most of the match where our great hero, ROGER FEDERER was playing against German's PHILIPP KOHLSCHREIBER in Round 3 of Wimbledon 2009.Luckily, I was real fortunate to get to watch the winning set whereby Federer was leading 3-1 live on satellite TV.



The Federer's FORE HAND !!


And many many thanks to Eurosport's text commentary of the match, I was able to track down the progress of the whole match. the 1st 2 sets, as usual was a breeze for FeDex and well, maybe a lapse in concentration has done some damage whereby he loses the following set.

Maybe that was a wake-up call for him and despite that slight glitch, Federer was still able to keep his cool and eventually wrapped up the match. The result was 6-3, 6-2, 6-7, 6-1 in the span of 2hours 31mins..Fantastic !!

Guess who's his next opponent ?? Yeah..the tall, big serving guy from Sweden, Robin Soderling whom was beaten by Roger last month in French Open. Whats your prediction ?? FEDERER FTW !! =)

Stay tune for more Federer's greatness !!
