good level... tiebreakers are about nerves.

It's interesting how some like cali think Novak's weakness is getting behind in rallies and letting opponents dictate but against Federer, Novak is largely dictating baseline rallies, rock solid, clean, hitting.

no justice, every set Fed could've won but lost, and then Djoker showed his true colours...….challenged when he knows he was about to lose the point, also Fed hit a winner and he tried to argue for a replay. Something just isn't meant to be, Fed clearly played the better tennis and lost. (flashback of 2010 and 2011 USO), Fed never got lucky when down match points but Djokovic kept getting those.

Now we will get Djoko type of players in tons, as they will model on this kind of uninspiring 'lockdown' game....with opportunistic behaviour to go with it. Fed played fair throughout, what fukn comparison.

Wow, a classic.

Federer’s serve vs djokovic’s baseline superiority. You got the feeling that during baseline rallies, djoker was ontop but federer served very well. Fed’s tactics were solid too, he tried to bring djokovic in with slice, came to net.. tried to play attacking style. He faced a very solid djokovic, it’s hard. Novak is so solid... arguably best on grass since 2010.

This came down to nerves.. it’s difficult to handle nerves in these situations, even i had a hard time watching! It was a point here and there.. nerves, nerves... djokovic handles nerves slightly better.

I was wrong. I thought you were going to say football was more popular.

Unfortunately I have only 1 TV set, so I have switch channels to watch Formula 1.
