What is Roger Federer’s most memorable Grand Slam victory?

Roger Federer has had many memorable Grand Slam victories, but one of the most notable is his 2009 Wimbledon win. This victory was special because he defeated Andy Roddick in a very long and exciting match, winning 5-7, 7-6(6), 7-6(5), 3-6, 16-14. The match lasted for over four hours, and Federer broke Roddick’s serve only once, which was in the final set when Roddick was serving at 14-15. This win was also significant because it marked Federer’s 15th Grand Slam title, breaking Pete Sampras’ record.

Another memorable victory for Federer is his 2017 Australian Open win. After being injured and not playing for a while, Federer came back strong and defeated Rafael Nadal in the final, winning 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. This was a big comeback for Federer, as many people thought he might not win another Grand Slam title after his injury.

Federer’s first Grand Slam win at Wimbledon in 2003 is also very memorable. He won against Mark Philippoussis, which was a big moment in his career and marked the beginning of his success in Grand Slam tournaments. This victory was emotional for Federer, as he dedicated it to his former coach, Peter Carter, who had passed away the previous year.
