G.O.A.T.
Djokovic played a great match and clearly deserved the victory.
BUT, I feel that Federer could have played more aggressively. I feel that he did not hit his forehand aggressively enough. It was as if he is still getting used to his new frame.
I feel that his power and spin is better with the new frame but he lacks the precision of former days and because of this he also is less willing to unleash. Did Federer hit an inside-out forehand all day? He was just chipping backhand slices to disrupt Novak's rhythm.
Perhaps this was part of a tactical scheme. Perhaps he is simply not quick enough to get in position to hit the inside-out with authority. Perhaps Novak was taking it away.
What could/should Fed have done better today?
