2019 ATP Final RR: [2] Novak Djokovic vs [3] Roger Federer

[Terry Tibbs]

Just a ridiculous level of serving in that set. 83% first serves in. Can he maintain it though?

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

 

[metsman]

LOL just stupid serving.

 

[Sabrina]

Cmon Fedr...You have all of my support today.

 

[Mark-Touch]

Fed naysayers be damned!
He's seeing the ball like it was a grapefruit!
You were always on my mind, You were always on my mind (40-15).

 

[The Blond Blur]

BAMOS ROGAH!

 

[Legend of Borg]

can't repeat 40-15 if you don't drop a point on your serve

*taps head*

 

[RF-18]

Too good from Federer. Outstanding serving. I don't know how Djokovic is gonna break him today.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Legend, and im making pasta today

 

[junior74]

Very clean set from Federer, apart from two poor droppers it was almost flawless. Excellent serving.

Novak hits very aggressively, but Federer spot on so far.

Two more sets incoming.

 

[acintya]

i think Fed is on some magic mushrooms.
he plays like a 20 year old with the knowledge of a 50y old.

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

I knew Fed would up his serve but this is sick.

 

[NoleFam]

There's no way Federer will keep up this level of serving. When he blinks Djokovic better take advantage because he won't have many chances.

 

[rUDin 21]

 

[gn]

Federer is playing as if he wants to beat Djok until the day he dies.

 

[jimjam]

40-0 is the new 40-15

 

[Service Ace]

Too bad he forgot how to serve at 40-15 when it counted

 

[Meles]

Calling @SaintPetros ,
Nole needs you

 

[Bukmeikara]

What a serving display, amazing from Fed. Can't remember the last time I saw Fed like that... He missed like 5 1st serves and averaged a high speed.

Cincinnaty 2015 Murray SF, Djokovic F

 

[StrongRule]

That was an almost perfect set from Federer. 1 unforced error.
There is no way he can keep this level until the end of the match though. No way.

 

[Otacon]

3 pts lost on serve against the greatest returner ever !!!

 

[metsman]

inb4 pensionerer turns into shambles and ends up losing, Noelfans say "We always knew it, The King was just warming up"

inb4 fedr wins but loses the tournament, Noelfans say "of course, vulturer only beat NOVAK cause king was playing at one zillionth of true level, YEC doesn't matter anyway, only Slams do, 40-15"

inb4 fedr wins and somehow wins the tournament, Noelfans say "who cares, Wimbledon>>>>>>>, 40-15 40-15 40-15 40-15 40-15 suck it fеdturds"

fed turds are parroting the 40-15 as much as anyone else tbh. If not, people would have forgotten about it. Not like it was Halle or anything, merely the London midsummer classic.

 

[Krish0608]

What a set of tennis, Maestro! Epicerer in the house.

 

[PrinceMoron]

Better zip that up quick

[RaulRamirez]

He's definitely slower now then at any other point in his career.

Maybe, and logically so, but his anticipation and overall quickness is still incredible. And of course, his reflexes are still off the charts.

 

[Feather]

Roger Federer served excellently. Hope this continues.. Allez Roger Federer

 

[Yugram]

One set to go and I can root for Strong Era players again.

 

[JoelSandwich]

Where the hell was that serving at 40-15

 

[BretH]

Privileged to watch this performance by Old Man Federer.

 

[tudwell]

His serve will drop in the second no doubt, and that’s when the questions will be asked. Djoko’s not doing too badly out there. If Federer gives him any breathing room, he’ll take it.

But that had to be the best set of tennis I’ve seen from Fed in a long, long time.

 

[Ray Mercer]

Some of the best serving I’ve ever seen from Federer. Just absolutely gorgeous spot serving. Nothing Djokovic can do there.

 

[Meles]

Good lord the serve stats

 

[NatF]

Petch saying Fed's full repertoire was on display, indeed...the serve out wide, the serve down the tee, the kicker. Everything in his toolbox.

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

3 sets please.

 

[Martin J]

What a serving display, amazing from Fed. Can't remember the last time I saw Fed like that...

Maybe against Murray at Wimbledon 2015, he put on a serving clinic and never actually dropped his level. Crazy stuff.

 

[The Green Mile]

He has 60% of serves unreturned. Against fricking Djokovic

 

[Krish0608]

Fed is in one of those untouchable zones. The question is, can he sustain this insane level for one more set?

 

[MichaelNadal]

It's weird having these VB'ers rooting for Federer.

You know you like having me on your team

 

[BeatlesFan]

83% first serve from Roger. 8 aces in set one.

 

[TennisFan3]

Wow. Fed's serving excellent. And playing great. 12 winners - 1 UFE
Djoker: 7 winners and 6 UFEs.

Djokovic will DEFINITELY raise his level and come firing in set 2. Can Fed brace against the onslaught? Even now there is a sense that the World #2 will come back with a vengeance.

 

[NoleFam]

You probably should have. I haven't seen anything like 2011 Djokovic, even though I think Federer is the greatest.

I have said I have never seen anything like 2011 Djokovic as well, without even mentioning Federer. If you don't worship Federer like they do, then it's an attack on Federer and what you really mean is peak Novak > peak Federer.

 

[weakera]

 

[icedevil0289]

please rog no second set walkabouts. also idk if novak is asleep or something but if he could remain in that asleep state that would be nice

 

[metsman]

That's definitely in contention for the best Fed's ever served in a set.

 

[Third Serve]

Google tells me Federer has won 100% of his second serve points.

Big if true.

 

[Tiki-Taka]

One more set like that, Roger.

 

[Red Rick]

Fed's like Isner with a pretty backhand. Nothing more @Federer and Del Potro

 

[NatF]

Maybe, and logically so, but his anticipation and overall quickness is still incredible. And of course, his reflexes are still off the charts.

Yeah he's not slow lol. But he's definitely forced to hit more defensive shots on the run even compared to a few years ago IMO.

 

[Third Serve]

Fed's like Isner with a pretty backhand. Nothing more @Federer and Del Potro

Your signature is quite fitting here.

 

[metsman]

Fed's like Isner with a pretty backhand. Nothing more @Federer and Del Potro

Santoro with a good serve is the technical definition.

Seriously, that guy was a prophet.
