For all those who dont fancy him much, has your opinion changed ?

I respect that he continues to play but its obviously (though he won't say it) he HAS to continue to play because of Nadal reaching or surpassing his slam count.
But today shows who Fed has always been. A guy who folds like a cheap suit in deciding sets under pressure
As much as ı dont like him. I never question his talent or him being a great player. My opinion still not changed about him ı still believe he dominated a WEAK era and as result he isnt clutch player in epic matches by any means.
Yes it has. I once thought that he was the goat. This epic match makes him ultra goat in my book.
Mine has. I'm blown away at how well he's still playing.
Nole's choking is what made the match "epic" This should have been a short 2 hour some minute match if Nole wouldn't have hit so many senseless errors on big points
Nole CHOKED. Bottom line. He choked in the first set tiebreak and he choked again up 5-3 serving for the match.
Again.. This should have been a straight set beatdown but Nole's stupid error sprays made it go 5
You really live in some special world, don't you?
Nope. Federer will never win another slam or beat Djokovic or Nadal ever again in a best of 5. He is finished.
He had a golden opportunity and he blew it.
Federer seriously needs to retire.

He will be No 1 on Monday.You are wrong.
It was quite obvious to the viewer and also from Fed's interview that he changed strategy in the fourth set. Clearly Fed was the better player from 1-3 down in the 4th.
Fed was insane in the 3 rd set serve. But for the botched FH in the tiebreak the 3rd was his. the first set was Novak's though.
Novak said in his post match that this was the cleanest grand slam final he has played. It took an enormous effort to beat a not at peak Federer.
It is a shame that you dont appreciate the effort a 32 year old is showing at a major final against the world number one.
He will be No 1 on Monday.He wasnt number ın this match.
It is Monday where I am.
Seriously what's the point of playing? He has lost all the big finals he has been in this year.

Nole didn't choke, Fed stole that 4th set because of his greatness.

He plays because he loves tennis. I love tennis and even if I am losing to someone, I still enjoy the match rather than the result. I know that it is harder at the professional level but Federer himself said in the post-match ceremony that he had fun in the match and was surprised to take it to a fifth set. Roger is just an amazing athlete and man. He inspires me like no other and I am super proud of his effort and if he is having fun then who cares if he loses.

I find it so hard to believe that he was just playing for fun given that he turned on the waterworks yet again. If he really were just playing for fun (aka not worrying too much about the result), there would be absolutely no reason to cry after extending a match that should have been a straight set cake walk.

He is human and come on man, you know the feeling of coming so close but failing in the end; it hurts in the moment but I am sure that he will get over it as he has proven in the past. The mind takes a while to process the emotions that are running through your body after a Wimbledon final like that, so there will be some signs such as a tear dripping down but he was composed and was a class act.
But again, if he only cares about having fun, why is he breaking down to the point of crying? By definition, he cares a lot about the outcome if he had that during of an emotional response to the match. Rafa and Djokovic are humans too but I've never seen them cry after a loss no matter how close it was.
To be fair, I'm a bit biased because I hate Federer, but I think that his comments should be taken with a grain of salt. I think he was more trying to save face than telling 100% how he felt. I think he knows he blew a golden chance to win another Wimbledon and add to his slam count before he retires
HEs not playing for fun. Playing for fun is having your slam record safe and just playing to get out of the house and away from the annoying wife.
His slam record is in jeopardy and he KNOWS IT. So he is doing what he can to do win more to probably put it out of reach.
Don't believe everything a player says to the media for cripe sakes. Its called PR for a reason

if Fed was not playing and Nadal got defeated early, Djokovic vs anyone in the final would probably be a very one sided match.
Replace Federer with Nadal or Murray today, Djokovic probably would still win. He was just too tough.

No.For all those who dont fancy him much, has your opinion changed ?
No.
What can I say, F is one of the best tennis players ever. He gave a fierce fight today on Centre Court.
But it is a shame that many of his fans embarass him by expecting unrealistic things, he is no longer the same player he was a few years ago.
Can't a champion decline with grace for goodness sake, of do his fans always want more?
Some people just don't understand.
