Roger won the French Open! Omg. Amazing! He now has a career slam and has equalled Pete Sampras's record of 14 slams. He's fought for this so hard, after struggling and tears and hideous crushing losses and playing like a mook over the last twelve months. He beat Robin Sodapop of Sweden in straight sets 61 76 64.

Shine on, Rogelio.

That was awesome. Very happy for Roger because this was huge. Very disappointed about Rafa (I'm Spanish, I can't help it) but if he was out of the picture then it had to be Federer.

I'm sad about the Rafa part too. It's the only thing tarnishing it really. I hope Rafa's going to be okay.

He looked so glowy and happy, it was wonderful. I keep remembering and smiling to myself.

IT WAS GLORIOUS, even if I was just listening to the audiostream on the French Open site, I was seriously just sitting there in tense anticipation, and AHHH HE FINALLY MADE IT ♥ I loved how the commentators were all "oh look, normally the winners set their trophies down for a moment, but Federer seems to still be clutching it to himself tightly" during the victory ceremony and speeches lolol ♥

I could not believe that moment he won! It was so tense, god.

Oh the trophy! He was clinging onto it pretty tightly. ♥♥♥

I don't even follow tennis, but when I read that he'd won, all I could think is that you'd be so thrilled. ;D

I heard and the first person I thought of was you!

I'm happy that you're happy! *hugs you* Awesome! Congratulations. He did work hard for it and it paid off!

*hugs* Awww, that is so sweet! Thank you, Zan <3

It's like he's made all that stress and upset worth it now, it's really an incredible acheivement.

Wasn't it fabulous?! Though he gave me the jitters when he was serving for the match and he let it go to deuce!

It was so sweet that they had Agassi there to give him the cup, with Agassi knowing exactly how it feels to bag that last one :-)

That last game was really tense, and I was thinking he was going to get broken. He must've been so under pressure, it's incredible he managed it so well.

Having Agassi there was just lovely!

Yeah, I thought he might lose the serve and go to another tiebreak too. He admitted how tough it was in the interviews, saying he was just hoping Soderling would make 4 mistakes, because he wasn't sure he could hit a winner :-(

He wins!! I'm still not over it. If only we had known then what we know now.

Also, my red button is not showing the tennis! For some reason it is only grand prix and cricket D:

He is a god of tennis playing. Oh Tarte, it is fantastic!

I think those people are the groundspeople. They look so excited!

He's a god of more than tennis playing. He just has to show off exactly how multi-talented he is, by switching languages so casually in the winner's speech!
