This match was historic as it was Federer's fourteenth major title, which brought him to a tie with Pete Sampras for the all-time record of major championships. He also became only the third man in the Open Era (after Rod Laver and Andre Agassi) to complete the career Grand Slam of capturing the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open singles championships.
