Two titans of the game went toe to toe in this supreme match. Let's rewatch it together.
I will watch it again at some point but not anytime soon. I enjoyed the match when it was on though.
Def stings had understandably for Fed fans that was mighty close.
There still is not.There would be no grass GOAT debate if Federer had made it.
There were people who considered Djokovic to be greater on grass before Alcaraz won against him in 2023. Now I see that there is no discussion about this anymore, but if someone will make a thread about who's better on grass between Federer and Djokovic, I doubt that there would be no users arguing in favor of Djokovic.There still is not.
OF course not, and of course there is a debate to be had, but I think the overwhelming majority would say Fed.There were people who considered Djokovic to be greater on grass before Alcaraz won against him in 2023.

Forgets? Who do you think we are? Forget?Everyone forgets that Fed had a makeable pass to serve for the match at 11-11
Some say Sampras isThere still is not.
Fair, has a better argument then Djoker.Some say Sampras is
@Razer how did you feel after this match? Were you a fully fledged Djokovic fan back then or still were a Fed fan? What was your feeling when Fed choked MPs?
You dont believe in lightning striking 3 times?I remember I had friends and family over that day and couldn’t fully watch it. Checking the score at 40-15 I thought, well this is it. And was waiting for the news that Fed had won. A few minutes passed and I checked again. Couldn’t believe the score
You savage!Two titans of the game went toe to toe in this supreme match. Let's rewatch it together.
I was never a Djokovic fan, was always a Fed fan and a Nadal hater, when it comes to Novak did respect his mental toughness and he stepping up in 2011 to slow down Nadal, beyond that no fanfare for him. I became more neutral from 2021 than I was before.
It was, in Fed's defense, he was the GOAT at the time + he is Wimbledon GOAT.Insane that the GOAT struggled with someone 6 years older than him and near retirement![]()
tbh i don't see how there's an argument for Sampras as grass GOAT, as opposed to Wimbledon. think Federer's only competition for grass GOAT is pre-OE greatsSome say Sampras is
Fed is grass goat. Nole has as much argument as Pete.tbh i don't see how there's an argument for Sampras as grass GOAT, as opposed to Wimbledon. think Federer's only competition for grass GOAT is pre-OE greats
Federer missed one of the break points by a fraction at 11-11 in the fifth set. Yes, a lot of people forget that Federer had break points at that time, while remembering the championship points at 8-7 in the fifth set.Everyone forgets that Fed had a makeable pass to serve for the match at 11-11
I recall Djokovic botching a volley that clipped the line. To go with Federer’s “ace” on CP that was called for a let. Dark magic at work.Federer missed one of the break points by a fraction at 11-11 in the fifth set.

A lot of people also forget that Djokovic was a break up in the fifth set earlier on.
The truth of the matter is that Federer was the better player for large parts of the 2019 Wimbledon final, but was substandard in the first set tiebreak, and pretty poor in the third and fifth set tiebreaks. Djokovic was below par, but clutch at some important moments, particularly in the tiebreaks and when championship points down.

One of the greatest matches in tennis history. Certainly the greatest Winby final.
You didn't answer if you felt the same pain like many other Fed fans or not
Fair, has a better argument then Djoker.
Sampras for me…Some say Sampras is
Sampras for me…
Each time I'm close to forgetting this happens
Nice to know wimbledon finals usually lack somethingOne of the greatest matches in tennis history. Certainly the greatest Winby final.
No disagree. W2019 was potentially hugely significant. Djokovic won. 3-0 in finals. Just a bit of a shame that what seemed seismic got upstaged by W2023 and W2024 finals, and Djokovic was actually younger than Federer was in 2019. Such is life in sport, life comes at players fast.Federer was older then than Djokovic is now. Outplayed a prime Djokovic and lost 100-99 in the 5th essentially. Gets zero credit
lol
But who cares man. These are all Fed fans who are sour but we are nolefams and we have happy memories of it.I wonder if Federer still has bad thoughts about this match or if he's forgotten about it.
Most professional sportspeople judge their careers after retirement when they were at their physical primes. W2019 for Federer was house money bonus time, no way he would have ever contemplated being in a wimbledon final close to 40.I wonder if Federer still has bad thoughts about this match or if he's forgotten about it.
