How to keep Fed at the baseline? Or it’s Fed too nervous to move forward during tiebreakers?

Article has good point! Fed has stated that he refuses to serve to the body out of principle. A body jam to Nole on CP could have gotten it for Fed!

Sadly Federer beat himself with silly errors on his service points he was hardly doing any the rest of the match. Djokovic won most of his points on his own serve in the tiebreaks with solid play.

Out of principle? Meanwhile Djokovic body served him all day... SMH

Fed said as much in 1 of the Wimbledon post match pressers before the final. I think he is too polite! The same way he said he would never underarm serve. He can follow his wishes but if his opponent does it 1st, he shouldn't feel bad on returning the favour. If an opponent body jammed me in match & indicated such shots are on the menu ... you best believe It's On The Menu!

What if my attempt to serve out wide ends up not wide enough but jam my opponent? Should I apologize?

People still going on about this.
I don't understand, why is it so unbelievable that the world #1 could win three tiebreaks against the #3?
Right... Some serious analytics going on here. It's hardly some absurd anomaly, especially when one considers the TBs (as is usually the case) took place in sets where both players were quite evenly matched. Take out sets 2 and 4 and it was basically gridlock out there for the most part.

The 59% margin by Djokovic in baseline rallies is not a stat I've seen until now. That is quite lopsided.
