比起去年的決賽，今年的溫網冠軍戰更可謂是經典中的經典。 Roger Federer歷經4個多小時的苦戰， 最終在熟悉的中央球場拿下超越Pete Sampras的第15座大滿貫桂冠， 成為網壇史無前例的第1人。 Federer抱回第6座溫網冠軍， 成為40年來第3位同年包辦法網與溫網的選手 另外，瑞士特快車也奪回球王稱號。 Federe今天(6日)在溫網決賽力戰老對手Andy Roddick， 2人上演生涯對壘首度的5盤大戰，並一路鏖戰至超級「Long Game」 Federer靠著刷新個人記錄的50記Ace， 終場以5比7、7比6(6)、7比6(5)、3比6、16比14勝出。 靠著驍勇的發球壓制力， 2人只花了25分鐘就來到5比5。 以往對戰Roddick戰績卓越的Federer總是知道如何在關鍵時刻打擊對手士氣，然而這次重砲手有備而來， 第11局力抗Federer的強攻， 硬是在化解4個破發點後保發， 更在Federer屢次挑戰鷹眼失利、情緒受影響時率先破發， 以7比5先發制人。 次盤雙方維持發球優勢， 在互保發球局的情況下進入tie-break， 亟欲乘勝追擊的Roddick先以143英哩的Ace示威， 並取得6比2的絕對領先。然而心臟就是比別人大顆的Federer， 決定也給Roddick嚐嚐屢攻不下的挫折， 不但頂住壓力讓A-Rod的4個盤末點無功而返， 更卯起來連咬6分，以7比6(6)扳回一城。 第3盤2人再次纏鬥至「搶七」， 儘管Roddick還沒被破發過， 然而在搶7局就是拿Federer沒轍； 雙雄過去的20度交手中，Federer在搶7局是10勝3敗，完全佔上風。 此盤Federer在「mini-break」後一路領先，最後以7比6(5)率先聽牌。 然而A-Rod不願就此束手， 第4盤第4局再破Federer發球局； 靠著此局關鍵破發，Roddick以6比3追平戰局， 生涯首次與自己的「天敵」上演5盤大戰。 拚得難分難解的雙雄， 決勝盤酣戰至Long Game的11比11， 第17局Roddick未能把握住機會難得的2個破發點， 2人互不相讓，戰局也一直僵持到14比14。 最終Federer於第30局讓重砲手出現唯一的被破發， 在滿場如雷得喝采聲中稱王。 今天的Roddick打出生涯代表作， 可惜仍阻止不了對手寫下歷史， 第8度在大滿貫賽臣服Federer拍下。 而Sampras也全程觀賞這場經典之役， 賽後也稱讚Roddick表現優異， 並坦言在他心中，Federer無疑是網壇史上最偉大的球員。

Wimbledon 2009

Roger Federer's epic and historic victory in the men's singles final brought the 123rd Championships to a fitting climax in the evening sunshine on Centre Court. After four and a quarter hours he finally overcame the American Andy Roddick in a 30-game fifth set, the longest in Wimbledon history, to claim a record 15th Grand Slam title. How appropriate it was that Pete Sampras, with whom Federer had shared the record following his success last month at the French Open, was a surprise visitor, joining other greats such as Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg in the Royal Box to see history made. Federer's sixth Wimbledon in seven years of appearances in the final also moves him within one singles victory at The Championships of Sampras, who shares the record of seven with the 19th century English hero, William Renshaw. Federer had always looked on course for the final once the top seed, Rafael Nadal, pulled out with knee problems. The 27-year-old Swiss dropped only one set en route to the final and his progress became increasingly assured as round succeeded round. In the other half of the draw it developed into a battle between Roddick and the 22-year-old British hope, Andy Murray, a battle that was resolved in the semi-finals when Roddick, serving brilliantly, prevailed in four sets.The 26-year-old Roddick has made a remarkable comeback since taking on Larry Stefanki as his coach towards the end of last year, and his skills were fully tested, not only by Murray, but by Lleyton Hewitt, the 2002 champion here, in the quarter-finals. Although Federer would emphatically not agree, it was a pity in one way that Roddick could not claim the title, which would have then meant that the US had won both major singles prizes in the same year for the first time since 2000, when Sampras and Venus Williams were acclaimed as champions. The hopes of Venus, chasing her sixth Wimbledon victory, were dashed in the women's final when she was beaten in straight sets by her younger sister, Serena. It was a merited win, Serena's third Wimbledon, and the 21st time these two had faced each other in top-level professional play. It proved, beyond doubt, that since the retirement of Justine Henin a year ago and the struggle that Maria Sharapova has experienced in coming back from a shoulder operation, the Williams sisters rule women's tennis. The manner in which Venus crushed the current world number one, Dinara Safina, in the semi-finals for the loss of one game offered dramatic proof of this, and it is difficult to see a challenger emerging to them at present, though the return to the game of Belgium's Kim Clijsters in the autumn after having a baby may prove something of a challenge. So dominant are the Williamses that, a couple of hours after their final match, they were back on court to win the women's doubles against the Australian pair, Rennae Stubbs and Samantha Stosur. The men's doubles was retained by Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic, the second seeds, who defeated the American twins and top seeds, Bob and Mike Bryan, and the mixed doubles title went to Mark Knowles and Anna-Lena Groenefeld. For Serbia, such a dominant nation a year ago, it was a bleak Wimbledon in a depressing 2009 season. Novak Djokovic, the 2008 Australian champion, fell to Tommy Haas at the quarter-final stage, while Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic were early casualties. Ivanovic, who appeared a new, glamorous star in the making by winning Roland Garros last year, has done little since and retired injured in her fourth round encounter with Venus Williams, while Jankovic, who ended 2008 as world number one, once more experienced illness problems as she crashed to defeat against a 17-year-old American qualifier, Melanie Oudin. For Russia's Elena Dementieva it proved another "nearly" occasion as the woman who has still to win a Grand Slam in her 11th year of trying, held a match point against Serena Williams in their semi-final, only to miss the chance of her first Wimbledon final. Apart from Andy Murray's charge through the men's draw, the biggest talking point for British supporters was the expensive, gleaming new roof over Centre Court, which has been three years in the construction. And, in a perverse sort of way the British climate showed that, this year at any rate, a roof was not needed. It was closed only once, on the evening of the second Monday, following a short spell of rain that halted the Amelia Mauresmo-Safina match and remained closed for the duration of |Murray's five-set marathon against Switzerland's Stanislas Wawrinka. There is no doubt that the roof will be needed at future Championships but, for this year, at least, the fact that it remained open was a blessing, an indication that fine weather ensured the punctual finish to an excellent tournament.
