WIMBLEDON, England — Andy Roddick had hoped to make Roger Federer wait for another Grand Slam tournament to win his record 15th singles title.
But despite playing what looked very much like the match of his life on Sunday, Roddick could only succeed in delaying Federer’s celebration on Centre Court.
On and on the fifth set stretched, further than any fifth set has ever stretched in a Grand Slam singles final. But in the end, Federer’s phenomenal serving was just a bit better than Roddick’s phenomenal serving.
