Federer’s remarkable Wimbledon record

Roger Federer reached his first Wimbledon final in 2003, which he won in straight sets against Mark Philippoussis. He won his second and third consecutive Wimbledon titles in 2004 and 2005. On both occasions, he got the better of American Andy Roddick. In 2006, Federer faced a young Rafael Nadal?and made short work of him. Nadal came back stronger in the 2007 final. However, Nadal ultimately fell short as Federer proved his supremacy over the Spaniard on grass. His post-match fashion faux pas was the only downside at the time.
