Fedrer grabs the "Famous Five" !!

Fedrer very rarely came this close to loosing , that too in a much familiar terrain. If not for Nadal, he would have even played blind folded ! We would have had to wait another 5 yrs
to beat the record, if he had given up. The genius is Fedrer got better of him in the 5th set of the Wimbledon Final 2007 ! Finally the 26 Yr old broke the 27 Yr old Bjorn Borg record
for holding 5 successive Wimbledon titles.7/7/7 was a memorable day for Roger Fedrer ! As an ardent Enid Blyton fan I would name it "Final of Adventure" !!

Nadal was almost equally competent, giving his opponent a real tough time. Many predicted his win. In fact circumstantially wind was in his favor. Only then did Fedrer Express zoomed past the Spaniard. Memorable final looking spectacular at - 6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-2. Nadal seemed to have been a little forgiving. Well this young man has a
long way to go. But so does Fedrer.

The rivalry is slated to be one of the most electrifying after Sampras-Agassi ! Fedrer seems to be converging to be the "Best ever Tennis Player". Seeing this man come from ground zero to great heights in record time speaks for itself. We are no doubt in not just contemporary era but
Fedrer would entertain for years to come. Commentators could not help wondering what this magical wizard will create with his razor sharp, intelligent and powerful tennis.
French challenge continued the Swiss to sweat , but did not succeed in slowing him down. Once he captures that no doubt he is on the league of "extraordinary gentlemen ". Well looks like he might alone in that league for longggg time to come.

Congratulations Fedrer on your "Famous Five" !!
(or "Fantastic Five" as few Editorials dubbed :-) !!)
