The Wimbledon tennis tournament is taking place this year in the absence of legend Roger Federer due to injury, and he holds the record for winning the tournament eight times, most recently in 2017.

Perhaps this tournament was the right stage for the Swiss star who brought him to the world after he managed to win his first title in four Grand Slams on the grass courts of Wimbledon in 2003, at the age of just 22 years old.

At the 2003 World Championships, then-Australian Lleyton Hoyt was knocked out in the first round by Croat Ivo Karlovic, then a number of stars, most notably Andre Agassi and Juan Carlos Ferrero, were eliminated in the fourth round, so the opportunity to win the new player’s title thereafter.

Federer took advantage of this in moderation, and reached the semi-finals to meet Andy Roddick for the first time in his career, after which competition and a sports feud arose between them, which dragged on for several years.

Federer scored in the semi-finals against Roddick, defeating him in three sets without a response 7-6 6-3 6-3.

In the final, the 22-year-old will face a tough matchup with Australian Mark Philippoussis, who is also looking for his first title at the tournament.

In the first set, the players exchanged control, but Federer prevailed 7-6 after winning the tie-break 7-5.

Federer, who finished 4th in the tournament, continued his prowess in the second set, hitting his opponent’s serve several times to win the set 6-3.

As for the last set, it was similar to the first and the technical level was close in all sets, but Federer was determined to win the match and the title and decided the third and final set in his favor, 7-6. after a tie-break decision in his favor, 7-3.

With this win, Federer started a rosy streak in the world of yellow football, winning 20 Grand Slam titles to date and 102 titles in total.
