ROGER FEDERER!!!!!!!
I am absolutely delighted that Roger has won the French Open, finally equalling Agassi’s achievement of winning all 4 slams at the same time as equalling Sampras’s record 14 slams.
His record in the slams over the last year is now better than Nadal’s
; he has won 2 and reached the final of the other 2, whereas Nadal has won 2 and fallen short of the final in the other 2. Another stat which really shows his class is that he has reached the semi finals of all the grand slams for the last 5 years (20 consecutive semi-finals).
It is a privilege to have seen Federer play during this tournament (even if it was the first round). I will be rooting for him to go on and regain Wimbledon in 4 weeks time.
Before I move off the subject of tennis, does anyone know why the TV guys get the players to sign the camera lens at the end of each match? Is it just me who thinks this is absolutely pointless?
I’m having a quick coffee and catching up on the news after the excitement of the tennis, but will shortly be off to Rivermead for Reading’s European election count.
