Roger Federer (Switzerland) beat Andy Roddick (US) 5-7 7-6 7-6 3-6 16-14 in a marathon that lasted for 4 hours and 15 minutes.  This is Federer’s 15th grand slam title and 6th Wimbledon championship title. He also wins £850,000 or  almost $1.4 million.

Watching from the Royal box were Pete Sampras, the other tennis player who have 14 grand slams,  and Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver.

Federer got back to the #1 seed he lost last year to Rafael Nadal who beat him last 2008 but wasn’t able to defend his title this year because of knee injury.
