After defeating Sampras

Oh, I remember this match like it happened yesterday!! One of my favorite moments in all of Wimbly history (right up there with Kraijeck winning in 96 and Michel's epic match this year).

wow, great thread indeed thanks

Also winning Orange Bowl was a great achievement

There's the tongue already with 15!! ;)

I noticed that too ;)

When did he start wearing bandanas?

now that was pretty complete. thanks, mrs. b! so when does his autobiography get released? ;)

LOL @ Beat. He's only 21 and he has to win a few Slams first then it will be a bestseller in CH! ;)

:) That's funny Beat! Hi Mrs. B. and Doris! A suitably dull grey Nov. day out there! And I'm doing laundry -- how exciting! Yeah and I'm supposed to be updating my resume... yuk! We need a little Rogi as our ray of sunshine! Un rayo de sol, la, la, la... [a lyric from a Spanish song from Sex and Lucia film]!;)

:) Where did you find those "junge" Rogi pix Mrs. B.? I think he beat Boutter to win Milano01.

You think right RF ;)

wonderful thread, Mrs. B! Thanks :)

and lets always hope that he keeps his beautiful brown hair :angel:

Beat, Mrs. B is right. Rogi has to win at least 1 slam first (maybe 2), then someone can write a book on him like someone did on Guga. And, very important, they have to also write it in english cause Rogi fans are world wide! :)

Thanks, Lily!

Hope you'll continue adding to this thread when i'm gone. You'll never know, he might even win the AO!!!

And keep those poems coming too, eh? :)

:) No reason why Rogi can't win the AO!! ;) He can win any slam.

nice thread Mrs.B ;) He was the best looking 15 year old I've ever seen ;)

Great thread guys! Looking forward to adding more milestones on here!:D

:) Does anyone have any pix of Rogi/Max when they won their doubles in Rotterdam [I think], Rogi/Max doubles win in Moscow02 and Rogi/Marat doubles win in Gstaad01?? These would be nice here too! ;)

with trophies?

We should also include him reaching number 1 in juniors.:)

Rogi's 3rd career slam
Rogi's 6th title of 2004
Rogi's 17th career title!!!

We bow to you, ROGI!!

has now won 24 consecutive matches on grass, a record second only to Borg. :)

im sure sapres had more the 24 straight wins...i mean he won the wimbly title 7 times!

Sampras got 23 straight wins on grass twice, but never got 24.

but didnt he win wimbly 4 times in a row 7x4 = 28??

We are talking about winning streak on grass, so he might have lost in Queens somewhere in between. ;)

but didnt he win wimbly 4 times in a row 7x4 = 28??

No, we are talking about consecutive wins. He played Queens in between those, and lost. That breaks the consecutive win cycle, no?

anyways, he also zipped past McEnroe who won 23 consecutive wins on grass aswell!

I became a fan of Roger's when I saw him play the final of Miami vs Agassi. I was really impressed with his game, but at the time I suppose he was too inconsistent and maybe not mature enough to beat Agassi.

I never followed him closely though until he beat Sampras at Wimbledon. I used to feel about Roger the way I feel about Safin; so much talent, but total headcases. Now I'm so proud of his achievements. He really living up to his potential (unlike Safin) and although men's tennis may never be 'dominated' like Pete did, Roger has the potential to still outshine the others.

He just became the fastest man to get 50 wins in a year ever since Lendl did the same back in 89.

:worship: Amazing year he's having. At the beginning of the year, I was really worried how he will defend his points from last year.

Yeh first winning the Wimbly title for the second time in a row now he's in the final of the swiss open!! :eek:

Roger has won his first title in his home country, the Swiss Open, 2004.

He has now 18 titles!

:)

Congrats, Rogi!!

He truly is amazing, isn't he? That's why we love him!

I hope the crowd appreciated all he went thru this week to win it for them!

Rest time now for a couple of weeks before Toronto. Can't wait!

Great Job ROGI!!!! Rest now! 781 points on Monday!!! Looking forward to your crossing the 1000 point line. I will open that bottle of champagne then

Viva Roger!!!! :worship: :hug: :D

*bump*

-has extended his winning streak to 23 matches, and became the first player since Bjorn Borg in 1979 to win consecutive tournaments on three different surfaces, having captured titles at Wimbledon (grass), Gstaad (clay) and Toronto (hard).

:worship: Wahnsinnn!!!!!

Thanks for the update Mrs. B. Rogi :worship:

Rogi :worship: :worship:

Way to go Rogi!!! :aparty:

He is now 4-0 in Grand Slam finals and the first player to win back-to-back Wimbledon and US Open championships since Pete Sampras in 1995. He improves his Grand Slam record since the 2003 French Open to 32-2.

Sad Roger got an injyry but got some info to be happy:

Roger so far has 51 weeks ranked #1, 8 more weeks and he will pass Courier (58 weeks) that is far more than so active playes like: Safin, Hewitt, Guga and Roddick

Go Roger :yeah:

I thik that info might not be right coz dont think there has been 51 weeks since February till this day, :confused: i got this info from tenniscorner.net :p

Hi Daniel, this week is week 39 at number one for Roger, but tenniscorner.net calculates the rankings ahead of time, and they know that he can't lose it until the end of the Aussie Open, which is why they have put 51 weeks (should be 52 I think).

But he's getting close to Edberg, then catching Hewitt, I hope :)

Wonderful thread!
Thank you for starting it, Mrs. B~~and for everyone else for keeping it up.

:)

Thanks jtipson , :)

In last two years has compiled a 18-2 record in finals after going 4-6 previous three years...Became first player since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three Grand Slam titles in a season and fourth player overall in Open Era to win at least three in a year (Connors won three in 1974, Laver won four in 1969)…Became first player in Open Era to win his first four Grand Slam finals...

Roger Federer capped one of the most dominant seasons in tennis history when he defeated Lleyton Hewitt 6-3, 6-2 to win his second consecutive Tennis Masters Cup title in Houston. The Swiss World No. 1 won his 11th title of a remarkable season which included three Grand Slam titles and three ATP Masters Series titles. Federer's win was his 13th straight victory in a final - an Open Era record - and his 23rd consecutive match win against a Top 10 opponent. Federer defeated Hewitt, who finishes the year at No.3, for the sixth consecutive time this season. Federer collects $1.52 million and passes $6 million prize money for the year.

His staggering statistics included a 18-0 record against Top 10 opponents (23-0 going back to TMC in Houston), defeating every member of current Top 10...He also went 11-0 in singles finals (13-0 going back to 2003) and joined Hall-of-Famers Borg and McEnroe to win 12 straight finals in last 25 years… He's broken the record.

Ranked among Top 10 in several serving categories -- No. 1 in second serve points won (57%) No. 2 in break points saved (72%), No. 3 in service games won (91%), No. 4 in first serve points won (78%) and No. 8 in aces (517)…In addition to his overall serving dominance, he posted 12 bagel sets won (five against Hewitt) and 23 'bread sticks' (6-1 sets won).

Became first player to win multiple titles on clay, grass and hard courts in a season and first since Borg in 1979 to win consecutive titles on those surfaces…Compiled winning streaks of 10-more four different times, including a career-best 23 in a row from June 7-August 1...

Opened season at Australian Open and dropped only two sets while posting victories over Hewitt (4th), Nalbandian (QF), Ferrero (SF) and Safin (F)…Became No. 1 afterwards for first time on Feb. 2 and clinched top spot earliest ever on Sept. 13 after winning first US Open crown (d. Hewitt)…

Lost first match of year to Henman in QF of Rotterdam on Feb. 20…Won next two outings in Dubai (d. Lopez) and ATP Masters Series Indian Wells (d. Henman)…In May, turned in most impressive tournament on clay at AMS Hamburg where he defeated Gaudio (1st), Gonzalez (3rd), Moya (QF), Hewitt (SF) and Coria (F)…His only Grand Slam loss came to Kuerten in 3rd RD at Roland Garros…Then reeled off four consecutive titles -- repeat efforts in Halle (d. Fish) and Wimbledon (d. Roddick), his first Swiss title in Gstaad (d. Andreev) and AMS Toronto (d. Roddick)…

Made his fifth US Open appearance and came away with title, defeating Agassi (QF), Henman (SF) and Hewitt (F)…

After a two-week break, captured title in Bangkok (d. Roddick) to become first player since Muster (12) in 1995 to win at least 11 titles…

What a year!

11 titles, including 3 slams, 3 TMS titles, and now the TMC title.

- 74-6 record this year.
- 17-match win streak.
- 6-match win streak vs Hewitt.
- 18-0 perfect record against top-10 opponents this year, 23-0 record dating back to last year's TMC.
- 13 straight wins in finals.
- 13-1 lifetime record at the TMC.

Fed has really distanced himself from the rest of the pack of "New Balls". He almost lapped the field. When he is "in the zone", he's near invincible.

Fed is destined for true greatness, although some would say he has already achieved some of it.

Yay!

thanks for these stast to the posters on GM :)

thanks, Daniel! :kiss:

:confused: :confused: :confused:I got a question about this pic, anybody can tell me when and where Roger got this Trophy!

Ninja fed will definitely wins the aussie open,yeah!!:yeah

We all want the best for Roger, he desrves it :kiss: :hug: :smooch:

I've been living in Switzerland for five years and following Federer's career. I was never a fan, though I must say his game is out of this world. But what I wanted to say is, he cut his hair (at the beginning of the year, right?) and he looks soooooooooooooooo much better.

Time to update his title break down.

24 Titles: 10 outdoor hard
6 indoor hard/carpet (after Rotterdam :) )
4 clay
4 Grass.

Rogi:worship:
And he extends his record of consecutive finals wins to 15:D!

pretty impresive stats so far . if he wins Dubai he will wi his title # 25 :banana:

25 titles. 11th hardcourt title.

Roger is the first player to win three Dubai titles and this is the first time he won an event three times in a row.

Roger;s record vs Top 10 in 2005 after 4 tournaments:

Agassi 2-0
the rest of wins are out top 10
also he beat Ljubicic 3 times this year :)

Roger has now spent 57 consecutive weeks ranked at number one in the ATP entry rankings. :)

He is now also in 10th place in the list of players who have spent the most weeks at number one.

crimson, thanks for updating rogi's #1 status cos i was just wondering how many wks he was #1! cool! i'm hoping he can outlast lleyton's #1 run!

16 consecutive final wins!

Roger has25 title and leads playes of hinsgeneration, LLeyon has 24 , but Roger is second behind Andre with 59 of the active players.

Hewitt was number one for 80 weeks. I am sure Roger will go over the hundred mark.

Roger is good ~~~

This week will be Roger's 59th week at number one, which now moves him up past Courier (58 weeks) into ninth place in the most weeks at number one list.

:worship: Roger keep Your No. 1 As Sampras long!!! :devil:

Now Roger has 26 titles after winning Indian Wells, ad has 17 finals won since Vienna 2003 :)

This week will be Roger's 59th week at number one, which now moves him up past Courier (58 weeks) into ninth place in the most weeks at number one list.
Where can I find the list of the most weeks at No.1?

youo can go to tenniscorner.net and find the info there :)
Thanks Dani! I found it! Two more weeks and he will be tied with Edberg, and before the year ends, he will pass Bjorn Borg. Holly :) :) :) :) !!

Rogers 26th title takes him to #22 on the all-time ATP Titles Won List.

Rogi's Indian Wells victory equalled him with Yevegeny Kafelnikov, and Roger now trails Vitas Gerulaitis by only 1 tournament title.

Roger of course still has a long way to go if he wants to break Jimmy Connors' record of 109 titles! (That was a joke :p )

Roger~`~`You are the great No.1 ~!! :worship: :worship:

:worship: He has won 4 tournaments (Rotterdam, Dubai, IW, and Key B) consecutively!! :worship: Has he ever done 4 in a row before?

:worship: He has won 4 tournaments (Rotterdam, Dubai, IW, and Key B) consecutively!! :worship: Has he ever done 4 in a row before?

Actually, Roger did also Halle, Wimbledon, Gstaad and Toronto in a row on 3 different surfaces!!!

Roger is Great !!!! :woohoo:

Roger now won 27 titles! That's as much as Vitas Gerulaitis has won in his career, so they are now tied at #21 on the all time ATP titles won list!

Now, Roger has 28 titles after winning Hamburg for 3rd time.
Well done :yeah:

Roger won his 5th clay court title today too. I hope his 6th comes at the beginning of June. :yeah:

Rogi has also won his 6th title so far in 2005, his 19 consecutive final and his 7th TMS!

Roger may be win more than 11 champion this year!!!

Rogers 7th TMS victory equals Michael Chang and Thomas Muster.
Only two players won more Masters Series events, Sampras (11) and Agassi (a mind blowing 16 so far!).

Andre Agassi 16
Pete Sampras 11
Roger Federer 7
Thomas Muster 7
Micale Chang 7
Marat Safin 5
Boris Becker 5
Jim Courier 5
Gustavo Kuerten 5
Marcelo Rios 5

His loss at Roland Garros of course left us with a bitter taste in our mouth, however let's not forget that Roger broke another record with his great effort at this tournament.
He now has 6980 points in the entry rankings. This is more than he has ever had, breaking his own record of 6875 set on October 4th, 2004

I remember when Mirka not in the court ~Roger will lost the match easily~

As great as Roger's win streak on grass is, it makes me think how unbelievable Borg's record is. His 41 wins all at Wimbledon. Amazing. If anyone can win 41 consecutive matches at Wimbledon, it would be Roger!

Borg was my favorite player in 70s-80s. Roger remains me of him sometimes, in terms of demeanor on the court. 41 wins are just unbelievable :angel:

If Roger wins Wimby this year, his streak will be 36 wins, very close to Borg's. :D

Borg was one of the greatest of all time and would have made unbreakable records if he didn't retired so early...but you're right, of those tennisplayer today there's only Roger who can accomplish this 41 record and 5 Wimbley titles in a row! It's still a long way to go though :)

Rogi's win-loss record for 2005 is now 51-3! :worship:

Rogi's 7th career doubles title! :eek:

7 double cup~~well done

Well done :D

Tennis-x.com said today that Roger has now joined Becker and Lendl as the only players to reach five or more straight Grand Slam semifinals.

3 consecutive Wimbledon titles, joining the likes of Sampras, Borg & Fred Perry :worship:

36 consecutive matches on grass :yeah:

5th Grand Slam :worship:

36 or 35 :unsure: I don't want my sig to be wrong :p

It is 36, Nathy. ;) And, he will reach Borg's record 41 if he wins Halle next year.

Roger won his 5th slam. He won his 30th title today. His title profile is the following: 6 indoor, 6 grass, 5 clay and 13 hardcourt titles. :)

This is from ESPNews:

Won 1st 5 or More Grand Slam Finals (EVER)

Richard Sears, USA - 7
William Renshaw, GBR - 7
Anthony Wilding, NZL - 6
Jack Crawford, AUS - 6
Roger Federer, SUI - 5
Tony Trabert, USA - 5

Roger is first man in Open Era to win first 5 GS Finals; only the 2nd man, post WW, to win his first 5 GS Finals. Talk about history being made. The streaks and records keep on pilling up.

Roger also leads tour now with 8 Titles :D

Jimmy Connors, Rod Laver and Mats Wilander. What do these three men have in common?

They all won at least three Slams in a year. And the following year, they did not win even a single Slam.

Thankfully, Roger will NOT join their group. Roger becomes the first man to win at least three slams in a year, and win at least one the following year.

Exactly! Wilander warned after Roger's loss in the FO! But hey, Roger is better than other champs :angel:

Being a tennis history buff that he is, I am sure Rogi himself is aware of this fact. I am sure this fact burdened him more and more when he failed to win AO & FO this year. No wonder he looked so glad when he finally won Wimbly :D Hopefully now he will be able to breath much easier. He has fulfilled half his goal for this year.

Yeah! No jinx can stop Rogi! But I know that made him feel so much pressure this year. Now look, Rogi played his best under biggest pressure! I proud of him so much. :worship: :worship: :worship:

Federer's 35th straight hard court victory also broke Sampras' mark, set twice, of 34 straight.

The longest winning streak on hard courts!!!

Somebody should do a thread: Pete's Records that Roger has broken.

Roger v. borg - Borg did Paris-London b2b; Roger will prob. go for London-NY b2b titles. If his feet allow, he could get 4 consecutively, but should get 3.

Congrats Rogi!!! :woohoo:

* After winning Miami, Roger now has 10 Masters Series Titles and is unbeaten since last year in Monte CArlos where he lost to cute teenager Gasquet.

Wimbledon-Federer marches past Borg's record

(adds quotes)

By Martyn Herman

LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - World number one Roger Federer broke Bjorn Borg's record grasscourt winning sequence on Tuesday when he completed a dazzling 6-3 6-2 6-2 first round victory over Frenchman Richard Gasquet.




Walking on to Centre Court wearing a dashing cream blazer emblazoned with his name, Federer raced to his 42nd consecutive victory on the surface, allowing the dangerous Gasquet just two games on the resumption after Monday's rain stoppage.

Federer, who equalled Borg's run of 41 when he beat Czech Tomas Berdych in the Halle final earlier this month, said he was more happy with his form than yet another statistic.

"Any streak is nice and I'm still going, hopefully I can make it last longer," said the 24-year-old who racked up 35 winners against the free-swinging Gasquet, one of only four players to beat him in 2005.

"He's a big talent on any surface and it's one of the toughest draws I've had and to come up and play so well, I'm very happy, especially over two days."


Congratulations Roger :worship: :kiss:

42. ;)

Congratulations Roger ~~

Waiting your 43 Cup in next week!! :bounce: :bounce:

Good luck Roger for #44 :)

GOOD LUCK Roger !!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

09 July 2006


Among other landmarks, today's match marked the first time since 1952 (Frank Sedgman and Jaroslav Drobny) that the same men have contested the French Open and Wimbledon finals back-to-back.

Federer is the first man since Fred Stolle, in 1965, to reach five straight Grand Slam finals. His record of consecutive grass-court wins stands at 48, and he aimed to become the first Wimbledon winner without losing a set since Borg in 1976.

Great Roger King~! :bounce: :bounce:

The commentator during yesterday's match mentioned this during the broadcast, so I'm not sure how accurate this is:

Of all the men who has at least 8 Grand Slam titles, Roger has won his 8th at the second fastest rate... next only to Bjorn Borg who won his 8th GS title at a faster pace. So for those who are wondering if Roger is on pace to beat Pete Sampras's record, yes he is still very much on pace.

he is so Great!

I love looking at the early posts in threads like these... I wonder if this is what a thread in the Gasquet forum may look like in a few years?

Richie, Murray and Baggy will all have slam winning careers and to think that I like watching them all.

That's right. He is next to Borg. Borg won his 8th in the 20th GS tournament he played :eek: and Roger, 29. Next to him, Sampras, 30. Sampras won 7 GS by his 25th birthday while Roger, 8. :D

I like Baggy

monday August 14,2006

Federer by the numbers
133: Consecutive weeks as the top-ranked player on the ATP Tour, the third-longest consecutive streak behind Jimmy Connors (160) and Ivan Lendl (157).

54: Consecutive matches won in North America. Federer's last loss on the continent was to Dominik Hrbaty in the first round here on Aug. 3, 2004.

17: Consecutive finals reached in tournaments. Providing he gets to the final this weekend in Cincinnati, he could tie Ivan Lendl's record .

7: Titles won this year, including two Grand Slams. Through Friday, Federer's match record is 62-4, including 34-1 on hard courts.

5: Straight Grand Slam finals reached. The last player to accomplish that feat was Fred Stolle in 1964-65.

Thanks for the update~!

I found this on GM. posted by Gomarray


Roger Federer up to 3rd on all-time money list

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After winning in Toronto this past weekend, Roger has overtaken Boris Becker to take 3rd place on the all-time money list, behind Agassi and Sampras.

Surely in a few years Federer will be the first player to top $50 million in career prize money.

Here are the current top ten.

1. P Sampras
$43,280,489

2. A Agassi
$31,039,525

3. R Federer $25,131,458

4. B Becker
$25,080,956

5. Y Kafelnikov
$23,883,797

6. I Lendl
$21,262,417

7. S Edberg
$20,630,941

8.G Ivanisevic
$19,876,579

9. M Chang
$19,145,632

10. L Hewitt
$16,469,137

Seeing all of those names in the top 10 brings back memories and makes you realize that Pete did have alot of competition, but I honestly can't see anybody on this list coming even close to Federer in quality and consistency of play.

-------------
Go Roger :kiss:

thanks thanks!!

Roger is Very Rich!!!!!!!

from RonE: :cool:

-Roger has become the first man in the Open Era to win three slams in a season more than once.

-He has become the first man ever to win the Wimbledon and U.S. Open double combo three times in a row!

-this is the earliest any player has ever secured the year end #1 ranking and Roger has done it. The only other person to secure the year end #1 ranking right after the U.S. Open before Roger was Roger himself in 2004.

-Roger has won 9 grand slam singels titles putting himself ahead of players like Agassi, Lendl and Connors who have 8 a piece.

-In terms of progress at the same respective times of their carreers, Roger is ahead of Pete Sampras who at the same age by winning the 1996 U.S. Open secured his 8th grand slam singles title.

-Roger has become the first man in the open Era since Rod Laver to reach all four grand slam finals in one calendar year.

Oh GOD!!!!!!!!

How Wonderful is he~!!!!!!!!!!! :bounce: :bounce:

I don't think any player in history would come close to a 34 match winning streak over Americans. Furthermore, over his streak, Roger is 84-10 in sets won (8 bagels). All, but 4 matches were on hardcourts. Three were on grass, just one on clay.

The streak contains the following opponents:
Andy Roddick 9
Andre Agassi 8
James Blake 6
Mardy Fish 4
Robby Ginepri 2
Alex Bogomolv jr. 1
Jeff Morrison 1
Vince Spadea 1
Sam Querrey 1
Michael Russell 1

Final 11
Semifinal 6
Quarterfinal 5
R16 2
R32 2
R64 4
RR 2
R128 2
