Rome Masters 2015 final: Djokovic - Federer

Wheels are coming off this caravan...

On top of everything light playing havoc with roger leading to loss of one easy pt in that 2nd game.

Turning into the Mountain vs the Viper out there

Pretty weak tennis all around for Federer

Same first serve % as in the first set against Stan and overall for the match against him: 73% Bound to drop and if he can't win a set with 73% it's gonna just get tougher.

Yep, and he was hitting fairly well everywhere else. After Nole held on to his serve, he came and snuck in there to take the set. Roger's level has dropped precipitously since.

2nd serve was over a foot wide.

 

[DarthFed]

Hard to return serve worse than this. That was the main reason he lost the Wimbledon final too but both played a lot better that day than here.

 

[Riotbeard]

Telling stat. Rog has only won 35% behind his 2nd serve, Novak is around 60%

 

[Riotbeard]

That forehand off the drop shot was hideous.

 

[Denis]

Nice, Novak showing who is boss and Federer playing squash.

 

[nehmeth]

Wow 0-3, 30-30 - great shots by both guys.

 

[Front242]

Onto grass season.

 

[tented]

At this point, it's so one-sided, it's becoming boring. I figured Novak would win in straights -- and voted as such -- but I thought it would be a little more competitive than this.

 

[Denis]

Onto grass season.

Lol, Federer is not Stan, he is still in this.

 

[Puppet Master]

Roger...
Why?
He is getting humiliated at this point. I turned off the TV after 2:0. Stings too much.
I am sickened by the lack of competition.

1st set was. Surprised to see Fed fall apart, but that ace keeps it down to one break.

Nah. Disagree. He's done now. I realize it's only one break but his return is so poor he's not getting that break back imo.

Try enjoying Djokovic' tennis, for once.

Unlike other players, Roger hangs in there just out of spite. I don't know of any player that hates losing more than he does...

Actually, I think you are right.

He hates losing more than he likes winning. Definitely.
