Federer Storms into the Finals
Some thought that it was a revival of the golden era of German Tennis when Boris Becker, Steffi Graf and Michael Stich won Wimbildon Titles, but they were all put to rest by The Magician Roger Federer when he defeated Tommy Haas in straight sets 7-6, 7-5, 6-3. Federer won the semifinal match and now is just on win away from recording his 15th Grand Slam title.
Centre Court witnessed the shear brilliance of Federer and audiences were enthralled with the quality of his game. He pocketed the win with a majestic slam dunk smash and made his way to the finals. It took Federer just two hours to beat his German opponent. Federer also created history by becoming the first to reach seven consecutive Wimbledon finals. Federer currently shares the record of most grand slam wins with American Pete Sampras and thus this final would be really special as he count go past him with 15 tiles if he wins on Sunday.
Federer in a post match interview said that he has been under lot of pressure over the years and Sundays win would make sure that he creates history and enters into the record book. If Federer wins on Sunday then he would clear all the doubts amongst the pundits of the game and also bring an end to the long going debate – Who is the best player in the history of the game.
Federer is the sure favorite as he has beaten Roddick in all the three previous engagements at the Wimbledon. Also on the over all record he is miles ahead of the American beating him 18 times and having only lost twice.
