He's been doing this for 30 years now Ol' Rog, 30 years.
Bwahahaha !!! I loved it

Dont be sillyNole should have been penalized for wasting the server's own time while begging the fans to cheer. I believe he kept Rog waiting some 34 seconds between the two points...karma is Fed being the most beloved athlete, perhaps because he doesn't bend the rules. Nole is a good guy though. But that move was really blatant..
Djokodal won the first 3 tournaments on the run when the shot clock was introduced LOLNole should have been penalized for wasting the server's own time while begging the fans to cheer.

Both notorious time-wasters and momentum thefts lol. They did get better, but that was after they had a bunch of slams under their belts and the confidence that comes with that. It's amusing to me that they needed their "rituals" to play their games, yet Fed is the one who is "mentally weak". Funny.Djokodal won the first 3 tournaments on the run when the shot clock was introduced LOL
And I also believe Djokovic has won the most tournaments under the shot clock rule, correct me if I am wrong anyone!
How they use the shot clock is a jokeDjokodal won the first 3 tournaments on the run when the shot clock was introduced LOL

Oh, it WAS a great shot. I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't.Dont be silly
Actually he demanded some respect from fans after hitting a great shot and he fully deserved everyone to stansld up for it
You should do the same
Innocent until proven guilty my friend. They did whatever was within the rules, before or after the shot clock rule. False accusations mean nothing mate.Both notorious time-wasters and momentum thefts lol.

Very True, I think they should have you on the board to make the 'right' decisions xDHow they use the shot clock is a joke

Actually, the rules were established long before the lame shot clock. But they weren't really enforced much , so I don't find blame in Nole or Rafa. They should stop all time limitations in sports.Innocent until proven guilty my friend. They did whatever was within the rules, before or after the shot clock rule. False accusations mean nothing mate.
You'll get over it man, its fine
And to think of it, he got the 'prestigious' sportsmanship award that year haha
What a (D)joke that is xD

I guess they awarded it according to their on court behavior which is definitely better than Djokovic.Terrible sportsmanship after that match. Not only was he a sore loser but he implied his opponent didn't deserve the victory. No way did he deserve a sportsmanship award that year.
To be honest, that award itself is so absurd. Sportsmanship is something that transcends mere tennis statistics and achievements. The prerogative that only the Big 3 are contenders for that award is nonsensical. There are so many other players, lower ranked that have shown true sportsmanship over the years but it seems this award doesn't take that into account.Terrible sportsmanship after that match.

It's has subtle elements of nepotism I feel
That return winner was a lucky shot - he is being brutally honest whether you like it or not. However passing shot winner in Wimbledon was routine passing shot for Novak. He hits many like that regularly - very often under pressure. So no luck there.
Rafa has bad Karma, because he's been struck down by injury at very important times and its cost him a lot of slams.

I think he was pissed off at the crowd with all the cheering for Federer and especially cheering on his mistakes and he was dead serious on ripping one back at himIt wasn't lucky you still need the ability to hit that kind of return winner, he was just relaxed, maybe resigned to defeat and went for it. Personally think it's an amazing hit most people would be looking to get it back into play
A bucket? Too modest. Cow fans are walking salt mines.There is a bucket of salt ready to rub in to all you Fed haters including pathetic Srdjan when Novak stops winning majors. His downfall will be quick and not a slow one when he loses his foot speed.

He hit that return twice in that match, both times it was a winner. He hit first in the 3rd set at 1-0 deuce, and the 2nd time in the 5th set at 3-5 15-40. If it's lucky, then luck struck twice.
Would you agree that Fed was 'better than ever' in 2015 because he claimed so at a press conference?Are we seriously still on him about this? Even Novak has admitted it was a lucky shot.
The rule is to play to the speed of the server. And yes, it was definitely beyond 30 seconds. Federer was clearly annoyed, and he shouldn't let stuff like that get to him, especially against Djokovic.Nole should have been penalized for wasting the server's own time while begging the fans to cheer.

Hahaha no no, I was referring to what Roger said that Novak has been playing like this since the last 20 years(I.e banking on luck). Almost a decade since that interview Djokovic still 'plays the same way'Cruel but funny (unfortunately).
What, he started losing like this to Novak when he was 9 and Novak just 3???
It's far worse than I ever imagined!!!
Aye, but id does get to people which is why there is a rule for it, just as there are time rules in other sports. It slowed his momentum.The rule is to play to the speed of the server.

Funny how the roaring crowd on Djokovic double fault didnt affect him in previous gameThe rule is to play to the speed of the server. And yes, it was definitely beyond 30 seconds. Federer was clearly annoyed, and he shouldn't let stuff like that get to him, especially against Djokovic.
