2007 US Open: Federer ties Roy Emerson.

The 2007 US Open tournament ended yesterday with the mens singles final match between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

A great match where the young 20-year old Djokovic, participating to his very first Grand Slam final, has wasted nothing less than 7 set points during the first two sets.

Federer closed the deal during the first two sets tiebreakers after Djokovic let slip too many set points. Roger has won the match in three sets of 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-2) and 6-4. He wins a 12th Grand Slam title in career, tying the great Roy Emerson in second place of all-time, only 2 away from Pete Sampras' record of 14 slams.

This 2007 summer was a breakout season for Djokovic, he pulled himself all the way up to the 3rd rank of the ATP tour, has won the Masters tournament of Montreal and appeared in his first Grand Slam final. A great summer all in all.

Federer in his post-match comments said that he expects many more hard fought battles with Novak in the coming years...a sweet compliment towards his opponent.

Congratulations once again Roger.
