It was a hard fought title for Roger to win his 6th wimbledon title and thus overtake the legend Pete Sampras to have his 15th singles grandslam title. Andy Roddic was tough and heroic, fought a tough war against federer and many times during the course of the match he sounded stronger than federer. Federer has to wait a long time to break his serve, as he won his sets by tie breaker only where as Roddic winning by breaking federer. The one service break, the whole world was waiting for, came in the end from federer, and bringing him back his wimbledon title. I would say this was much interesting match than the previous year's final were rafa and roger fought a 5hour long battle. Andy was strong, hard to be penetrated, his defences were awesome and services were pure perfection. Roger did server more than 50 aces in this match, I would guess no one have served that much in a single match so far. Ironically, Andy had won more games than federer in the end, but the trophy has to go to the legend, as he held his nerve for two breakpoints Andy had which could have given him the title, and to capitalize on the single break point he ever had in the whole match to convert it a championship point, that was a mark of true legend.
On the great happy notes, there was a sad note for me as an Indian Tennis fan to see non of the Indian players could bring anything from wimbledon as the last hope Paes and co was beaten by Knowles and co. :(
