37.9/38 year old Federer has completely outplayed GOAT candidate Djokovic this season

[ghostofMecir]

AND at 38 years of age has won MORE THAN HALF of all points played between the two. Federer has 49.4%of all points vs. Nadal, while Djokovic has won 49.6%of points vs. Federer.

Djokovic wasn’t better at any aspect of the game against a 38 year old man who thoroughly dominated the Serbian champion twice this season. Novak was lucky the old man got nervous and handed a match to Novak that was on the Swiss GOAT’s racket the entire time.

At Wimbledon

Total points: 218 to 204 in favor of Federer
• Breaking serve: 7 times for Federer, 3 times for Djokovic
• Receiving points won: 79 for Federer, 64 for Djokovic
• Dominance Ratio: 1.16 in favor of Federer
• Winners: 94 for Federer, 54 for Djokovic
• FH winners from baseline: 18 for Fed, 14 for Djokovic
• BH winners from baseline: 7 for Fed, 8 for Djokovc
• Volley winners: 22 for Federer, 3 for Djokovic

This is the most one player has been better than an opponent in a slam final and still “lost” from matches we have numbers for.

At WTF with #1 on the line for Djokovic

Total points: 67 to 44 in favor of Federer
• Breaking serve: 3 times for Federer, 0 times for Djokovic
• Receiving points won: 29 for Federer, 11 for Djokovic
• Dominance Ratio: 2.14 in favor of Federer

2019 Season

Total points: 285 to 248 in favor of Federer
• Breaking serve: 10 times for Federer, 3 times for Djokovic
• Receiving points won: 108 for Federer, 76 for Djokovic

2019 Slams

Djokovic - 2
Federer - (you know what goes here)

 

[Spencer Gore]

When does Roger get presented with the Points Won Trophy?

 

[Rafa24]

Can you say he really outplayed him at wimbledon when he lost?

 

[Doctor/Lawyer Red Devil]

And I am being told to not bring up the you know which two numbers again.

Move on from Wimbledon. Federer clearly did as we have seen today.

 

[RF-18]

Please show some more class than this. Look at their respective years this season instead of this crap about outplaying.

 

[Mr.Lob]

Taking a page from Rafa's fans book. Djoker looked injured today. Elbow bothering him again.

Of course you can say that
It was completely different from 14 and 15

 

[KINGROGER]

As usual, Fed is unlucky with his timing compared to the other two.

 

[ghostofMecir]

Can you say he really outplayed him at wimbledon when he lost?

He “lost”because of how one “loses”in the AD system. In which area did Novak outplay him? Did he win more serve points or return points or break more often or hit more winners?

Overall this year, did Novak win more sets? No. Did he win more games? No. Did he win more points? No.

Thoroughly outplayed and lucky to still be in the slam race after a magnanimous and gererous gift from Geriatric old man,

 

[tennisaddict]

While this year is not peak Novak , these stats that Fed has are for the entire career and most matches being played when Fed crosses 30.

Just shows how things could have been if they all were same age

 

[HetTheGreaterer]

When does Roger get presented with the Points Won Trophy?

Lewisian trophy

 

[FedrMatt]

There’s so much salt from Rafa and Novak fans over a RR match at an “exhibition tournament” they “don’t care about” lol

Let it stewwwww haha.

 

[NoleFam]

Salty

Lol. It's the truth. What the point in saying someone was handed a match when they are holding the trophy? So you can give out moral victories?

 

[Spencer Gore]

Overall this year, did Novak win more sets? No. Did he win more games? No. Did he win more points? No.

Did he win two more slams? Yes.

 

[onyxrose81]

And? Nole still got two slams. Just relish your win and move on.

 

[tennisaddict]

Lol. It's the truth. What the point in saying someone was handed a match when they are holding the trophy? So you can give out moral victories?

Djokovic won the trophy, the tie breakers and the last point

But Fed was better every other way

 

[NoleFam]

Ok. Federer was better in every way but Djokovic is the 2019 Wimbledon champion. Do you feel any better?

 

[octogon]

Can we stop with the age thing for Fed?

Happy for him he beat Djokovic after so long, but in tennis terms, Djokovic is considered a senior citizen as well.

The old rules no longer apply. Djokovic and Nadal at 32/33 are doing better than Federer was at the same age. And people were treating Fed like a special ed kid because he played well at 32/33. I wouldn't be surprised if Novak was still able to beat top players at 38 as well.

 

[Xavier G]

Big win for the GOAT!

 

[Rafa24]

Ok. Federer was better in every way but Djokovic is the 2019 Wimbledon champion. Do you feel any better?

lol werd. these fed fans are cracking me up in here.

 

[octogon]

Salt from Rafa fans!?!

What on earth are you talking about. Almost all Rafa fans were cheering for Fed. He secured Rafa the year end no.1 spot with his win against Djoker.

Will Novak beat Novak 2011 at age 38 ?

Even if players “age differently,”there’s no comparison between 32/33 year olds and a 38 old. How many Tour Finals wins have players 35+ ever recorded?

 

[RF-18]

Haha my god it's like Djokovic was the one who lost the match and is without a Wimby title this year

 

[Spencer Gore]

When is Federer being presented with the "Better in Every Way" trophy?

 

[Rafa24]

Salt from Rafa fans!?!

i was cheering for roger and happy he won. doesn't mean i'm going to come in here and agree when fed fans claim he outplayed him at wimbledon when he lost.

 

[Rafa24]

When is Federer being presented with the "Better in Every Way" trophy?

tennis warehouse members are creating one right now.

 

[NoleFam]

Haha my god it's like Djokovic was the one who lost the match and is without a Wimby title this year

It's the Twilight Zone around here I'm afraid.

 

[Centrius]

Luck doesn't exist.

I disagree. Fed is doing nothing special, when you see how many longevity records Nadal is now breaking (he's now the oldest player ever to be year end no.1).

If Fed was some sort of outlier, I'd agree, but there has been a generational shift that is allowing playerd to perform at the highest level in their 30's.

I'm a Nadal fan, and I don"t spend all day talking about his age or gloating about his longevity records, because I recognise it's the new normal in tennis.

 

[Arvind Sridhar]

Federer probably outplayed Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, but Djokovic definitely deserved it in the end for playing just a tad better when it mattered the most. Its how the game that we've all come to enjoy works....It was unfortunate for the likes of Federer fans like myself, but still nothing to take away from Novak....

 

[KINGROGER]

Luck doesn't exist.

Call it whatever you like, but Fed has often ran into tough opponents whilst in good form, particularly at USO. Same with his YE#2 in 2012/2014/2017. If he had a weak year like 2018/2019 he’d have 6 by now.

 

[Lleytonstation]

That's what "tigers" do.

 

[helterskelter]

Will Novak beat Novak 2011 at age 38 ?

So you think that Federer beat Novak 2011 at age 38?

 

[Lew II]

Completely

Especially on points that mattered the most.

 

[OhYes]

Lol. It's the truth. What the point in saying someone was handed a match when they are holding the trophy? So you can give out moral victories?

He is just too dumb to understand that meaning in given circumstances.

 

[Terry Tibbs]

Can you say he really outplayed him at wimbledon when he lost?

Yes. Next

NUFF SAID /

Fedr Goat confirmed

This Federer win is a good thing Lew. Cements the fact Federer has never been better than he is right now. Djokovic's Wimbledon win has just been enhanced even further. Congrats Egg + Fred!

 

[Spencer Gore]

Completely

Never gets old.

 

[The Fedfather]

Can you say he really outplayed him at wimbledon when he lost?

Well, Federer played most points better. so yes. The scoring system in tennis means that some points affect the result more, but overall if you purely take the average level of tennis throughout the match, Federer's was better.

 

[TheAssassin]

Are you seriously moaning about a long established tennis scoring system because Federer was second best on the big points in that final?

This is the finest combination of complaining and grasping at straws I have ever seen.

 

[Krish0608]

Did he win two more slams? Yes.

Oh look Spencer Bore is back from hibernation. Did you enjoy the match?

 

[ibbi]

It is pretty funny (funny sad) that Novak and Rafa are out there falling to pieces, while Grandpa Rog is blazing.

Watching old youtube tennis videos?? LOL

 

[Lew II]

It is pretty funny (funny sad) that Novak and Rafa are out there falling to pieces, while Grandpa Rog is blazing.

Last 7 slams:

Djokovic 4
Nadal 3
Federer 0

 

[tennisaddict]

So you think that Federer beat Novak 2011 at age 38?

No, but I am told Djokovic is a better player . He should have higher goals
