Roger should have closed it while serving for the match, no excuses for him. Plus, he couldn't manage to win at least one tie-break, Novak mentally stronger and that's it. A bit disappointing for a Fed fan as those breakers were so predictable, but anyhow...kudos to Novak for staying there.

That was a fantastic match. Well done to Federer, and I'm sorry for his fans. This was his best shot in a while, and no one deserved to lose. Federer was better for a large majority of the match - Nole just happened to with points that mattered most.
This is a bittersweet victory.

Honestly, some of these Federer fans are extremely toxic. Thank you to all who know how to lose gracefully. I know it hurts, but at least stop calling him names.

i dont know what to say. i'm exhausted, mentally, physically. right now feel like i never want to watch tennis ever again.
the biggest win of Novak's career, it's never gonna get better than this. And the worst loss of Roger's, you can't possibly think about a worse, tougher loss than this. I thought it's impossible to overwrite Roddick W '09 loss, today it happened.
Congratulations to Novak Djokovic, he will likely retire having the most important records. If so, he will deserve it. Federer had his chances, he couldn't convert them, could have stopped Novak 4 times but he didn't. Yes, he's old but he was there, had chances. So at this point just as they say, no excuses.

At this point djokovic has federer seeing the boogie monster. I laugh when people say tennis is not a mental game for the most part.

Honestly. I need to know what djokovic eats, drinks, his daily routine, how long he meditates, ETC. The mental strength to do what he did is unreal.

Wibledon Robbed Federer in 2 ways............... 1st changing the 5th set to tiebreaker... and also by using 7 point tiebreaker instead of 10 point. in 7 point tiebreaker, lucky dude can win.... In 10 point tiebreaker,, almost never.

I was texting back and forth with a close friend. He was pulling for Novak, I was of course pulling for Fed. We BOTH talked about having a near heart attack and needing BP meds. I think this was easily one of the best finals ever, and you really have to have the emotional maturity of a 12 year old to begrudge the winner. A heartbreaker for the loser, of course. I always remember BJK saying that all champions choke, but the one who chokes a bit less wins. Lots of clutch and choking on each side. We can all say we saw this match and saw the first final go to a 5th set TB at Wimbledon.
Totally epic match!

I don’t think this loss really hurts his legacy. The guy is 38 years old, played a 5 hours match and got MPs against the world number one. That’s insane. Federer is still the grass GOAT.
It is indeed his toughest loss, but luckily Federer is in a better place than his other toughest loss, which to me was AO 2009. He has a wonderful family, plays brilliantly even when most players would have retired years ago, he'll be OK.

I've heard this since 2014 especially when Fed lost a tight final. People keep saying this yet he's still giving himself legit shot to win more slams and even did so.

Wow, Djokovic seems very somber in his interview. Especially talking about how his being a player depends on support from his wife and family and finding a balance.
Something definitely isn't right at home. And he still won this match. I just realized... his wife wasn't in his box, either. That's probably a part of why he was so glum during the match, too.

Should also blame the tournament for costing Fed those 2 match points while you are at it.

Really? Lol. 40-15. All the guy needs to do is put in a good first serve and he can’t do that. How do you lose 4 straight points? Federer must be asking himself that question right now.

Maybe when Roger hits 50 he will lose in 3.
If any Djoko fan says Fed is a weak era champion, they lose all credibility. Fed almost pulled a miracle today by beating Djoko-Rafa at age 38.
Congrats to Djokovic. A beast of a player.
If that was Roger´s last stand in his fight for Goatness against Djkovic, what a helluva fight it was. At 37 no less. Proud to be a fan if his.
And for all of you Federer fans jumping the boat now, feck off. If Federer had your mentality, he wouldn´t even be in the top 100, let alone making slam finals and pushing one of the best players ever to the limit. Don´t ever again pretend to be happy for Federer. You don´t deserve it.

lmao according Tennis lost in a 5 set wimbledon final 5 hour match (longest wimbledon final ever) which included saved championship points that haven't happened in 71 years. Tennis is winning. And it'll win at a higher level once toxic fans like yourself stop watching the sport.

I don't see how you can call yourself the grass GOAT when you have lost three finals to one of your rivals. Especially not when blowing championship points. Especially when losing one in three tiebreaks.
Federer has certainly won more Wimbledons (at least so far), but it seems a bit strange to say he's the grass GOAT when he can't beat one of his rivals. It kind of contradicts the whole "GOAT" thing.

Yeah, that's exactly what Wimbledon does: rob Federer.
They couldn't try any harder to make him win and still remain within the rules.
All of them have

Hahahaha your post is the only thing that made me feel better after the disappointment in how this match ended.
Witnessing possibly the biggest sporting injustice of all time can tend to have that effect.

I can't with Federer. Love him to bits but how can a person screw themselves over so often is a mystery. This crush from the high is so painful.

I have no idea. That was the MOST suffering I have ever gone through in a Novak match.
