15th Grand Slam! Congratulations Roger!
I cannot even tell you how excited my family was about this year's Wimbledon. Really, you cannot imagine. After winning his 14th Grand Slam at Roland Gaross our all time favourite player Roger Federer reached the record of most Grand Slams a player had ever won. Reached but did not break. And then he's playing at Wimbledon grass, on court on which he already won five times and with his nemesis out due to health problems. What better moment could there be for winning that elusive 15th title? Needless to say, we were overcome with the oppurtinity that he got.
Polish television doesn't air Wimbledon.
We have all other big ATP tournaments but not Wimbledon. We go a record of last years final from my brother. So we observed Wimbledon through Wimbledon webpage were live scores of all matches currently played were showed. Generally we only noticed the end results but then came the final... And me and my father were in the car driving some 300km from a trip we made for a few days. It was awful, all we could hear from my mum and radio was 'Roddic won the first set.', 'Federer won the second!', ' They're playing the 5th set!', 'It's 11-11 in gems!'. We got back home when they were playing 29th game of the 5th set and the score was 14-14 in games. Then it changed into 14-15 after Federer won his 15th game. Then it was Roddic's serve and then we had deuce! My gosh! We were practically looking at the screen and saying things like 'The serve was so quick! He won't get this point.', 'He did! That must have been an amazing return.' And then heaven came to earth and he broke Roddic! HE WON!!! By all that's holy, Roger may sometimes be an awful person playing on our nerves but when the time comes and he wins... He's amazing, marvelous and totally unbeatable.
Congratulations Roger. We're freaking proud of you. ♥ We're waiting for the 16th Slam. ;)
EDIT: I forgot to write about it, but I really want it to be said: They wrote about it on THE MAIN PAGE OF WIKIPEDIA.
