"Sorry Pete, I tried to hold him off"
In a record-breaker, Roddick loses Wimbledon to Federer, apologizes to Sampras
Roger Federer and Andy Roddick played for four hours and 15 minutes—(the last set was a record 95 minutes long)—before Federer broke the American’s serve to win Wimbledon. It was a record 15th grand slam for Federer, beating Pete Sampras for that title. After the match, Roddick told Sampras, who sat in the Royal Box for the game: "Sorry, Pete, I know I tried to hold him off." On Saturday, Serena Williams won the women’s final over her sister, Venus, and Canadian Daniel Nestor and Serbian Nenad Zimonjic won the doubles title.
