I was never into tennis, and have never thought that the sport could be one thrilling art to watch until recently. The 2-week long Wimbledon 2009 have just ended last night, where Roger Federer defeated Andy Roddick in the 4-hour thrilling battle. Every stroke is well crafted, extending the game to the fifth set.
Both players were waiting for their opponent to commit errors, but yet the psychological and physical strength were the factors that defines a champion. Federer served effortlessly, having 50 aces in the match and you don't see this many aces that often.The moment of the final came where Federer have his first break and that was where Roddick handed the World No.1 the points and the trophy.
The entire battle lasted for 4 hours 17 minutes, one of the longest final ever played. The win made Federer the first player with 15 Grand Slams writing himself in the history book with more chapters to come. And not to mention that he's gained back the top spot in world ranking back from Rafael Nadal, whom have been holding since last Wimbledon.
It is more of an art displayed by Federer, that made me stick in front of my TV and having interest in this sport. This is one helluva player, and one flawless artist.

yoo... that was a great match to watch. Both players played calmly and emotionless (at least for most of the time!).
They dont have that tired look at all, apart from Roddick sweating like crazy :) Great play from him too, but still you'll have tough time against World No.1
