Federer scripts history, wins 15th Grand Slam title
Federer scripts history, wins 15th Grand Slam title
Federer claimed outright record of 15 grand slam titles with victory at Wimbledon here as Pete Sampras watched on from stands. But the Swiss second seed was given a huge fright by the American sixth seed who led by a set, had four set points in the second and didn't drop serve until the final, heartbreaking game of the match. In an extraordinary conclusion, the last set was the longest ever played in a men's Wimbledon final. Federer, 27, now has six Wimbledon titles, five US Opens, three Australian Opens and a French Open trophy, and has surpassed Pete Sampras's mark of 14 majors.
