Wimbledon Championship ends on historic note.

Roger Federer's epic and historic victory in the men's singles final brought the 123rd Wimbledon Championships to a fitting climax in the evening sunshine on Centre Court. After four and a quarter hours he finally overcame the American Andy Roddick in a 30-game fifth set, the longest in Wimbledon history, to claim a record 15th Grand Slam title. How appropriate it was that Pete Sampras, with whom Federer had shared the record following his success last month at the French Open, was a surprise visitor, joining other greats such as Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg in the Royal Box to see history made.

Federer's sixth Wimbledon in seven years of appearances in the final also moves him within one singles victory at The Championships of Sampras, who shares the record of seven with the 19th century English hero, William Renshaw.

Federer had always looked on course for the final once the top seed, Rafael Nadal, pulled out with knee problems. The 27 years old Swiss dropped only one set en route to the final and his progress became increasingly assured as round succeeded round.

There is no doubt that the roof will be needed at future Championships but, for this year, at least, the fact that it remained open was a blessing, an indication that fine weather ensured the punctual finish to an excellent tournament.

ATP recognizes Federer and Nadal with various awards

Although we’re nearly four months into the 2009 schedule, the ATP Tour has just announced the awards for the 2008 season. Obviously, fans aren’t clamoring at the doors of ATP headquarters demanding to know the results – it’s just a bit odd considering how much more quickly a sport like Major League Baseball does it.

As expected, Rafael Nadal was chosen as "player of the year" while Roger Federer was recognized as the “favorite player”and given the Stefan Edberg sportsmanship award.

Roger Federer earned the ATP Tour’s Stefan Edberg sportsmanship award for a record fifth consecutive year, and he was chosen the favorite player for the sixth year in a row in a poll of fans on Wednesday.

Top-ranked Rafael Nadal was chosen player of the year, and first-year pair Daniel Nestor of Canada and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia was selected doubles team of the year.
James Blake of the United States won the Arthur Ashe humanitarian of the year award for his charitable efforts, and Rainer Schuettler of Germany was chosen comeback player of the year. France’s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was chosen most improved, and Japan’s Kei Nishikori won newcomer of the year.

Far be it from a guy who just earned his fifth consecutive sportsmanship award to take offense, but I hope the fact the Nadal was chosen as player of the year is eating Federer up inside. Maybe then he can make the slight adjustments to his game so he can begin beating Nadal. They’re so minute that I would need to explain them on a 3-D graphic of a tennis court using Nadal and Federer as avatars, drawn to scale. We don’t have that kind of funding here at Scores Report, so let’s just say Fed needs to improve the accuracy of his ground strokes in an effort to tire Nadal out rather then vice versa. We’ll just leave it at that for now.
