G.O.A.T.
Brain Game:
"Becker scouted Federer’s impressive semi-final victory over Murray from the Royal Box on Centre Court, and saw specific areas for Djokovic to attack in the final.
“Wimbledon finals are not won in the semi-final,” Becker knowingly pointed out.
“Roger peaked in the semi-final. He could not have played better, but I have seen Andy Murray play better as well. Of course, you get carried away with the legend, Roger has won it seven times, but I felt if Novak could get hold of the return, get Roger involved in the baseline rallies, just the extra point all the time, eventually he was going to wear him down.”
my add: as Nadal said, French Open finals aren't won in the quarters
don't think this will top Becker's "fifth set" quote though
