And oh by the way,

Roger Federer isn't done, big congrats to Federer for finally getting over his French Open demons, and tying Pete Sampras with 14 Grand Slams while achieving the career Grand Slam.

For those of you who would put an asterisk next to this title because he didn't beat Nadal, you're crazy. While it may be true that Roger can't beat Nadal on clay, Sampras couldn't beat the ball machine on clay. So if you'd argue against Federer's worthiness, the fact that Sampras is tied for most majors ever must keep you up at night.

Now that Roger has won the French, I would expect him to pass Sampras in short order, as much of the pressure is off his shoulders. With Nadal possibly out (or functioning at significantly less than 100%) due to knee issues, I'd expect #15 to come at Wimbolden.
