Roger Federer: The great survivor who doesn't know when to stop

[The_18th_Slam]

I don't play that game. I say what I mean. I believe completely he will get 18.

I have him as the favorite over Djokovic, too. Last year, I knew that if Djokovic showed up playing his best Tennis, Federer wouldn't be able to win. This year, however, I feel Federer has the level to beat Djokovic, however well he plays. But still, a lot will depend on what version of Djokovic shows up. If it's the 2014 final version of Djokovic, it will be a very close match. Closer than last year, even.

Both of them are hungry for this one, and when you have that between the best in the world, you have a classic in the making. If they both bring, it is a toss up, because the match will be decided by a few points and probably even by a few inches. Federer has a much better chance this year than last, while last year was great, I felt he got a little lucky with Stan and then getting Milos in the semi. This year, he has just mowed everyone down, and lost his serve once the whole tournament, that is crazy. He has also dealt with a variety of different players and just went through them like a buzz saw. I will be very happy for him to win 18 here...this is his second home, where it all began, fitting place for the sun to set with one last big win.
