Federer won the US Open 2007!

I heard that it was a very exciting match on 9th Sept between the world No.1 Roger Federer and No.3 Novak Djokovic. Although it was a straight set win 7-6(4), 7-6(2), 6-4 by Federer, Djokovic did not make it easy for the top seed. Djokovic held five set points against Federer in the first set and two set points in the second set but the young chap did not grab the opportunity to win them instead the cool-headed Federer snatch the first 2 sets from the nervous Djokovic. It is the fourth consecutive US Open titles and that adds to 12 Grand Slam titles in total for Federer. He will also get an extra $1 million bonus for earning the most points in the US Open series (series of tournaments held in North America over a period of one month preceding the US Open) this year and that adds up to a whopping $2.4 million for the US Open Champion, Roger Federer.
