2006: Federer stole the ATP show, again

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The incomparable Roger Federer, once again, dominated the ATP headlines in 2006, a year that also marked the end of an era with the retirement of the great Andre Agassi.

The 25-year-old Federer does not wish to be disturbed while he's in the midst of rewriting the tennis record book. His career Grand Slam tally is already up to nine after '06 saw him corral the Australian Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles. The sublime Swiss recorded a runner-up finish at the French Open and became the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to reach all four major finals in one season.

Federer became the first player to win both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in three consecutive years, and his run at the All England Club currently stands at four straight. He'll try to match Bjorn Borg's Open Era record of five straight championships at Wimby next year
