The right hand inset photo above shows a happy Roger holding aloft
the Wimbledon trophy after his victory
over Rafael Nadal in the 2006
final. It was the fourth consecutive time that the outstanding Federer
had
tasted success on the grass courts of Wimbledon and moved him to
within one more title of equalling
the legendary Bjorn Borg's record of
five successive victories achieved between 1976-80.
The two action
pictures are also during the final.
