Roger Federer continued to show why Wimbedon is his tournament after a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Britain’s own Andy Murray in the men’s final Sunday.
After falling in the first set to Murray 4-6, Federer stormed back to take the next three sets and capture his seventh Wimbledon title tying him with American great Pete Sampras.
“It has worked out so many times over the years here at Wimbledon that I play my best in the semis and the finals,” Federer said. “I couldn’t be more happy. It feels great being back here as the winner.”
A big turning point in the match came in the second set when Murray fought back but missed a backhand on a break point at 4-4 that could’ve put him in a very nice position to go up two sets to none. Instead Federer won the set 7-5 and looked dominant the rest of the way.
“I never stopped believing. I started playing more, even though I have a family,” Federer said. “It all worked out. I got great momentum, great confidence and it all came together. So it’s a magical moment for me.”
With the win, Federer also regains the No. 1 ranking in the World.
