Not that I disagree with your point, but this reads like you are the one in some sort of frenetic trance.I totally disagree.
In Wimbledon 2019 Final, Djokovic was calm and steady.
He had already gone through that experience a couple of times before against the same player.
In addition to having the public against the entire match, especially at that particular moment only stoked the internal fire that few possess and that the Serbian has it in abundance.
I think you have to check that match more coldly and realize that it was the opposite: While Nole knew that until the last everything is possible (and he knows it very well!) and the result can change with just one play, it was Federer the one who had doubts and perhaps fear, especially because of the rival in front of him and who had left scars difficult to heal.
The stoicity that Djokovic showed in that frenetic trance until his final triumph is a little commented feature that only ratifies who dominates who.
Safin just didn't care.
Yeah,she was nervous as hell.What was most strange to me was Mirka's look just before the MP's in 2019? It's as if she had a premonition! She certainly wasn't confident, I can tell you that.

Two things about 2011 USO are pretty remarkable:
After Djokovic hit a cross court winner to save 1st MP, he walked slowly to the ad court, and raised both arms to celebrate. He celebrated before the 2nd MP, not after it! He didn't celebrate at all after the 2nd MP. What other tennis player would celebrate after saving only the first MP? Most people would be so worried about the 2nd MP, that they'd forget to appreciate and celebrate the first one.
A lot of the sell out crowd celebrated with him. If it happens now, Djokovic would be greeted with stunned silence, as he was last year at Wimbledon. Between then, when he had all of 3 majors, and now, tennis crowds almost uniformly turned against him.

Indeed. Also shameless gamesmanship from Djokovic to not play on quickly instead he time wasted.Djokovic just distracted Fed that time by trying to get the crowd to applaud his slap shot. Shame on Fed to fall for that and hit the next FH put away out by a few millimeter.
