2009 WIMBLEDON CHAMPION & THE LEGEND OF ALL LEGENDS WITH 16 GRAND SLAM TITLES & WORLD NUMBER 1 AGAIN ROGER FEDERER


This was an UNBELIEVABLE 2009 Wimbledon final. Roger Federer once again World Number 1 & now has beaten Pete Sampras record of 14 Grand Slams. He's a great champion as everyone has already been mentioning for the longest time. But this year really is a fantastic year for Roger because he finally won Roland Garros, his 6th Wimbledon title & he's gonna have a kid!

I have to say that ANDY RODDICK made Roger push himself to the limit for the title. Roddick's game definitely has improved a whole lot. Much credit to Andy Roddick.

With Wimbledon Legends such as Pete Sampras who particularly flew down just to watch Federer make History in Tennis, Bjorn Borg & Rod Laver watching intently from the Royal Box, ROGER Federer proved to them that he is the man today whose gonna re-write the Tennis History Books. Thats incredible! What an Epic final & Congratulations to you Roger FEDERER. I've said this before & I'll say it again that Roger Federer is the Legend of all LEGENDS!

FINALLY.. ROGER FEDERER WINS THE FRENCH OPEN & WITH 14 GRAND SLAMS IN HAND :D


Added note : Now that ROGER FEDERER has just made HISTORY today the 7th of June, 2009 by Winning the FRENCH OPEN, EQUALLING Pete Sampras with 14 GRAND SLAM TITLES, WINNING ALL FOUR of the GRAND SLAMS, I feel truly honored to have been able to take a picture with him.

I still can't believe I managed to meet the man himself Roger Federer. Currently world number 2 in the rankings, he was down in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in November 2008 for an exhibition tournament with US players James Blake, Borg & John McEnroe. Federer beat Blake in case you all are wondering. Federer's a cool guy. He thanked the 5 of us who were waiting to meet him for all our support for him after taking pictures & signing autographs. He's freaking tall as well. I think he is 6 feet 2 inches. I'm like 5' 7. As you can see in the picture Federer had to bring his head lower for me to get a shot with him.
After meeting Blake on the courts I went for lunch & headed back to Mandarin Oriental hoping to meet Federer. I didn't think I was gonna be this lucky. I have to thank these 2 kids who told me to wait for a short while because he was having lunch somewhere in the hotel. These kids were waiting since morning till like 3pm for Federer to show up.
Because I am a fan of Roger Federer, I originally woke up in the morning to go KLCC for the official meet and greet session with the tennis great. After 45 minutes lining up with my mom, we were so close to the front when the dumb bouncers decided to open the barriers to everyone. Fans obviously rushed to the front and kept pushing until the cops had no choice but to say no more autographs with the star. In the end everyone didn't get any chance to meet him because of this incident. That's when I decided to head to Mandarin Oriental Hotel to meet him because I had some inside information that he was gonna be there having lunch after KLCC's session.
So for those of you who rushed to the front without waiting in line, too bad you didn't get to meet him or even get his autograph!

US Tennis Player James Blake With Myself & Mom



My mom & I were very fortunate to be On Court with the number 10th in the world tennis player James Blake while he was having his practice session before the exhibition tournament. They ( Roger Federer, James Blake, John McEnroe & Borg ) were staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel where we managed to get a picture taken. I felt damn short though standing next to Blake.
