If anyone doubted that Roger Federer could do it, he just did.
Not only did he win the elusive French Open and Roland Garros to claim a ful house of grandslams, he equalled the record of Pete Sampras, making him effectively the best player ever to have played the sport. Note: Roger has also won a gold medal in the Olympics, albeit a doubles medal.
Its high time that Roger has finally done what we all know he is able to. Despite the fact that Nadal has been ousted early in the tournament, Fed did not have it easy He played a series of five setters before claiming a straight sets victory in the final over the giant slaying Robin Soderling. Roger was all over Soderling from the get go; deadly accurate forehands, dropshots that bounce at the same spot twice, backhand slices that stay low, forcing the big Swede to stretch for them. Roger played master class while Soderling was taught a lesson in tennis extraordinaire.
So onwards to the next target for Federer, a 15th slam at Wimbledon. That will truly make him the greatest player the world of tennis has ever seen.
