Federer
With all due respect to Andy Roddick (and he’s bound to get even more), all seems right in the tennis world again after Roger Federer’s win on Sunday. He’s back as the Wimbledon champion and back as the #1 ranked player. Other milestones or records he has broken and set so far this summer: 20th and 21st consecutive Grand Slam semifinal appearances (record), 5th and 6th consecutive Grand Slam finals appearance, 20th career Grand Slam finals appearance (record), 6th man to achieve the career Grand Slam (by winning the French), 3rd man to win six Wimbledons (Sampras and Renshaw won seven). It should be noted that if it weren’t for a trip-up in the 2008 Australian Open semifinals, he would have been on a streak of 17 straight Grand Slam finals!
