This Day in History...
Even if you're not a tennis fan, it would have been hard not to have been swept up, lob for lob, when Roger Federer faced Andy Roddick in last month's men's single finals at Wimbledon. The match took more than four hours, setting a new Grand Slam record of 30 games in the fifth set, which alone lasted 95 minutes. The 77 games played in the championship match made it the longest men's singles finals in Grand Slam history. Federer won the match and achieved a new record of playing in 20 Grand Slam finals, surpassing the record 19 previously held by Ivan Lendl. Happy birthday to tennis champ Roger Federer, who turns 28 today.
Roger Federer moves like a whisper and executes like a wrecking ball. It is simply impossible to explain how he does what he does." — Nick Bollettieri
