He Did It!!!

Congratulations Roger Federer!!  After an epic five sets, Roger defeated Andy Roddick to move back into first place ranking for the sport, as well as clinch his fifteenth grand slam, setting a new world record.

Sorry Andy!  It would have been great for you too, but if you won, Roger wouldn't have!  Maybe next year.  Great tennis, great sportsmen.

Hopefully Rafa is feeling better and will be back soon also.

Now, onto the Tour de France...

One Down

In day one at Wimbledon, Roger defeated Yen-Hsun Lu in three games.  Not only did he play good - but he looked, as always, great.  Nike recently presented him with some ferosh new gold-accented gear, just in time for his battle in Britain.  

Oh No!

Poor Nadal has had to withdraw from Wimbeldon, citing tendonitis in both his knees, to the point of his uncle/coach asking him to bend down and pick up a ball and him responding, "I can't"!  Oh my gawd!  Very sad, get well soon Rafa.  He is confident he will recover, but he will be missed next week.

On the upside, I don't have to stress about who to cheer for between him and Roger.

Facebook

I love the fact that Roger Federer has his own Facebook page that he, himself maintains.  After recent claims that it was not his own, and that his people were posting for him, he posted a video to correct the opinions (plus, if you've ever heard him speak publicly, you know by reading his posts that they're coming from him).  xoxo

A Crush?

An article earlier this week depicts Miss Wintour (pictured above with Mr. Federer backstage at the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2008 Ready to Wear show) having a soft spot for Roger, allegedly rarely missing his matches.  She was in France for his win earlier this week - to have her life!  PS, LOVE her trench.

Speaking of Tennis...

Found this New York Magazine cover and article from August 2008 noting Rafa's sex appeal and domination of his sport today.

Roger Takes The French Open

An emotional Roger Federer took the French Open today in 3 straight, tying Pete Sampras's record of 14 majors.  What a great achievement for Roger after a devastating Australian open earlier this year, during what has turned into an increasingly successful season for him.  The New York Times is calling him the "best of all time".  Obviously.

Finally!

Finally a major win for Roger Federer!  Roger beat out Rafael Nadal in his home country of Spain in the Madrid Open today.  That's gotta sting for poor Rafa!  It's so hard to choose between these two, they are both AMAZING, but at the same time, I'm pretty happy to see Federer with a win, it's been too long!

Flawless.

Congratulations Roger!
