Federer Saga


LONDON: Roger Federer will attempt to win a record 15th Grand Slam title when he faces Andy Roddick for the Wimbledon title on Sunday. Here is the list of Federer's 14 Grand Slam victories:

2003 Wimbledon (bt Mark Philippoussis (AUS) 7-6 (7/5), 6-2, 7-6 (7/3)

Federer, 21, wins first Grand Slam title to turn potential into silverware. His victory, five years after winning the junior title, also ended all doubts about his nerve on the big stage.

2004 Australian Open (bt Marat Safin (RUS) 7-6 (7/3), 6-4, 6-2)

Federer, who had replaced Juan Carlos Ferrero as the new world number one by reaching the final, celebrated in style by beating Safin, who had been in fine form in Melbourne seeing off Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick.
