Roger Federer put his name in the history books tonight when he won his fifth straight US Open Men’s Final. He is the only player to have won five Grand Slam Finals on two surfaces, grass at Wimbledon and hard court at the US Open. His win tonight against Scotsman Andy Murray in straight sets is his thirteenth Grand Slam title. Just one away from Pet Sampras’ record holding fourteen. Federer won tonight after suffering two major losses this year. He lost to Nadal in the French Open as well as at Wimbledon. At 26 years old Federer still has a few good years to play some top notch tennis and to make that fourteenth Grand Slam Title.
With the close of the US Open tonight this winds down the tennis season for 2008. It was a wonderful year with some outstanding matches and some outstanding players. And to top it off we also had the Olympics in Beijing. What a great year.
