Epic cahill discussing wimbledon final tactics. That forehand was unhittable.

Federer or Pouille?

What a difference it makes when Pouille gets a healthy number of 1st serves in, wide/wide combinations getting quite a few unreturned serves.

Federer. 40-30 match point that forehand winner. He hit one tonight little back.

It's weird when Pouille misses a FH

Man.. Why is Djokovic returning first serves better than second serves

Pouille holds for 6/5. Djoker will need a breaker to win

2019 Masters Djokovic is very different than 2019 Slam Djokovic.

People were dogging on Pouille but he is a very good player who was just overwhelmed by a big occasion.

And a GOATING Novak

Djokovic has to win this match with the serve and volley it seems. Both are equal. Djokovic should have the edge in tie breaks. Nice cahill advice juniors come in more!

4/1 Novak. Come on you are close now
Mental disintegration....

Like clockwork? Law of averages coming through, Pouille keeping the UEs right down during the set, now they're coming all at once lol

SP for Novak! Another error from Pouille

Mental collapse when it matters most, what's that, 5 UEs in the TB? 6-1, Djokovic.

G.O.A.T.
And Djokovic takes the first set with a stunning passing shot!

This happens nearly every time someone looks promising against the Big 3.

12 winners 8 UEF's from Novak. Solid

G.O.A.T.
He was playing so well too before the breaker.
Shame.
Shame.

How Federesque of Pouille. Red-lining all of the set only to remember where he was and crap out in the TB. Oh well, Novak’s gain.

None of that previous composure from Pouille shown in the tiebreak.
That is Novak's territory recently after all.

Difficult to make an UE when your opponent is making them first in the opening three shots lol

So many easy points with the serve from Novak. Very much needed today considering Pouille has been strong so far.
