Federer Wins Wimbledon in 7 Sets

5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14.

Those were the scores from Roger Federer's big win over Andy Roddick in the men's finals at Wimbledon today.

To put it in perspective, the 30 games in that final set are the equivalent of playing three full sets of 6-4, 4-6 and 6-4. (Or five sets of 6-0... but why go overboard?)

Federer now stands alone as the man with the most Grand Slam singles titles ever: 15. Pete Sampras, once the champeen, now is second with 14 Slam titles.
