U.S. Open
Latest from the U.S. Open men's singles finals, Roger Federer beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 7-6, 7-6, 6-4. Winning this Roger Federer becomes the first ever player in the Open era to win 4 consecutive U.S. Open. With this, he moves up alongside Roy Emerson with 12 Grand Slam tittles to his name only 2 behind the great Pete Sampras. Taking nothing away from Djokovic, he put up a massive fight against the number 1 seed taking the first two sets to tie breakers. However, he failed to convert numerous set points evidently showing some nerves at his first ever Grand Slam final. Roger Federer being a seasoned champion capitalized on Djokovic's nerves snatching both tie breakers. In the final set, Federer showed flashes of brilliance that has made him the greatest player to have ever picked up a racket, taking the set 6-4. And if only I had more friends who are into tennis, this would mean something.Labels: Thriller
