It took him about 4 hours and 20 minutes to do it, but in beating Andy Roddick on Sunday at Wimbledon (5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 3-6, 16-14) Roger Federer now has 15 tennis majors, more than any other man in the history of the sport.

Roddick gave it a massive effort and in congratulating Federer he called him a "true champion."

"You played unbelievably today," Federer said to Andy after the match.

And to the crowd in attendance, Federer said: "My head is still spinning and this is an unbelievable feeling. It feels amazing and it's one of the greatest moments I've had in my career."

And the magic number is…15. Federer is the greatest tennis player in tennis history.
