Federer wins his 13th Grand Slam

I tell you what, Roger Federer is one hell of a guy that doesn't gives up. From the moment he lost his world number 1 rank to Rafa Nadal and with all his patchy form throughout 2008, I know for sure that he's gonna come back roaring and silent all the critics. And he did what exactly what he have to in the US Open 2008, the last slam of the year. Fresh from another miss of the Olympics single title, almost everybody has written him off and also talks about him not winning a grand slam title since 2003. Everyone was saying about Nadal capturing his 3rd straight grand slam of the year. But as the tournament grew and after obstacles he had in the 4th round and quarters, this great Swiss is growing with confidence. Such that he proves much more superior against both Djokovic in the semi and then Murray in the final with an impressive 6-2, 7-5, 6-2 win in the final. It was really worth it to wakes up 5am to watch this match...truly highest quality tennis from the great man himself.
Now that Federer got slam no.13 in his bag, for sure he will not stop there as he's looking towards tying Pete Sampras's all time record of 14 grand slam title and even surpass him come future. I seriously believe he will and 2009 will be the year where Federer back to his best to conquer the tennis world and try his best to capture the Rolland Garros title, the only slam that's missing from his collection. I really hope he does. The only man that captures 2 grand slam 5 times in a row (Wimbledon and US) - Roger Federer !!! Bravo Mr Roger...keep it up!
