But. I think. I'm not the only noticing Fed doing all of these loopier forehands right? I think that's what he's trying to do and on higher pace shots like that from Novak, you're gonna shank that.

While he is shanking those shots, serving well is still the key for him as it allows him to be aggressive on the return

he is lopping some balls, but that last shank was also about spin. he played a slick slice before, Djokoivc gave back some weird shot

I think he's trying to do the high topspin shots, that are slower, followed by the slices and it's working. A lot of the time.

It does seem Roger is hitting the returns with some oomph

Yeah. Roger is never gonna get every return back. But the ones that's he's landing have been solid all day. All tournament. Did it against Nadal too. Geting great depth and pace.

Federer knows he won't win these long rallies that much so he will try to serve well and just take chances on the return game

Yeah Djokovic keeping it simple right now. But Fed also just not getting anything on the return this game. Djokovic serving better now too. Missing less first serves.

Roger seems more running on fumes to me than Djoker at this moment

I mean. Come ON man. That's a neutral ball in the middle of the court. What the hell. I mean. He's already down in that game. Likely wasn't going to win it. But ya gotta make shots to have a chance.

Djokovic seems to have his energy levels back.
