Roger Federer has had a difficult year to date based on the lofty expectations he and all tennis fans have come to anticipate over the last few years, but that all changed today. After losing in the semifinals at the Aussie Open and in the finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year he changed thingstoday by destroying Andy Murray in straight sets to win his fifth US Open in a row. This is Federer’s 13th major title and he is now only one behind all-time leader Pete Sampras. Nadal, Murray and Djokovic will be in Roger’s way next year, but I think when it’s all said and done he will make history and break the record in ’09.
Best tennis player ever. He will eclipse the record set by Sampras easily.
