Roger Federer & Serena Williams Take Their Trophies
Roger Federer of Switzerland and Serena Williams of the United States hold their trophies they received at the Hotel Intercontinental on Sunday (July 5) in London, England.
Federer, 27, made sports history Sunday by becoming the first man to win 15 major tennis titles as he overcame Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon final. Williams, 27, won her 11th grand slam title at Wimbedon on Saturday.
“For the second time in my career, I have a number I want to reach,” Williams said in an interview at Wimbledon before yesterday’s men’s final. “My first number was reaching Monica Seles, and I was finally able to do that. Now, I’m looking at Billie Jean King.”

OMG #21!! That’s what my father said when he started watching the championship match with Serena. He said someone needs to fine every single man and woman that makes those damn grunting and screaming noises. I tried to watch the doubles match between Serena and her sister, but had to turn it off. It was driving my poor dad’s hearing aids crazy.
The wife was heavy before the pregnancy.
Congrats Roger Federer.. You are the greatest champion of all time… Fed roxxxxxx!!!!
Congratulations Federer has his trophy and for the next baby waiting with his wife.
@rocky:
venus (w/ the backing of billie) lobbied for and wrote open letters (search l.a. times 2007) about how women deserve equal pay in tennis. that’s why women started to make as much as men in wimbledon & french open.
serena has 11 grand slam singles titles, venus 8 titles, and 3 olympic medals for our country… and that’s the short list.
also how many black tennis players had you seen playing before they arrived on the scene?
that’s how you define trail blazer
I think the women winners should get a big trophy too. I’m glad Serena won, wish Andy Roddick could of won but Roger deserves it.
God, sexism just lives and breathes. I was always astounded at the women’s trophy/ PLATE, compared to the men’s.

@talent:
They should put some tape on her mouth so we don’t have to hear all the bloody noise that comes out of her and her sister’s mouths!

Tell that to all the Russians.
Non-athletes obviously do not understand the role of the grunt/scream/etc.

Awesome. And the net losers won’t admit the sisters made tennis live and breath again, like what Tiger did for golf. But who cares, most of these posters seem like Sunday-morning quarterbacks and armchair psychologists.
@ha:
Serena and Venus were both very young when Billie Jean started the movement for equal pay for women. Did Serena and Venus play at the Virginia Slims tournaments. I DON’T THINK SO!! Please get your facts straight.
Do I think they are amazing players, “YES”. I’m not dissing them for their play.
@LuckyL:
God in heaven!! Those woman as well!!! Don’t even get me started on that Maria chick!!
@LuckyL:
Really? Why don’t you tell that to Roger, Andy, Chrissy, Martina, Steffie, Andre, Arthur, Rob, Sampras? None of these AMAZING players make/made the noise the players make now. NONE OF THEM!!
A little grunt every now and then is no big deal, but the screams and grunts at the top of their lungs — IT AIN’T TENNIS!!
even do i was rooting for andy because he was playing better than ever, roger rocks and rules..
and about his wife, she fat before the pregnancy but right now she is like about to explode
A bit unfair that the men recieve a REAL trophy—–while the women get fed off with the tiny plate instead…………..bit ironic ;O
@black:
Black. I’m not being mean now, I’m just saying, “To hell with the tropy, give me the money!!” HA! HA!
that should have been andy up there with that trophy =[
i dont understand how some1 big as serena can be such a good tennis player
i havent really played in a while but u have 2 run alot and im surprised she’s got it in her
