And the 2006 U.S. Open Tennis Champion is.....



Roger Federer!. Not that there was ever any doubt in my mind. And of course in winning this title he became a part of Tennis history, being one of a handful of guys to win Wimbledon and the U.S. Open 3 years in a row.

Thus also capturing his 9th Grand Slam Title. As soon as Nadal lost I just knew Roger would take it. Although I have to give Andy Roddick credit he played really well in the first 3 sets and really made it a competitive match, made Federer work for it.

But Roger really turned up the heat in the forth. It was a very enjoyable match, I think Andy just run out of gas by the 4th set. And Roger pretty much looked like he barely broke a sweat lol. The man is amazing.

Hopefully this time next year there will be another Swiss champion on the women's side;). And if you're thinking Martina Hingis then you hit the jackpot:D.
