Wimbledon 2019 Final: Novak Djokovic [1] vs Roger Federer [2]

[Deleted member 77403]

Federer keeps catching Djokovic out with that forehand DTL, that is now four times...

3-2

 

[zagor]

Fed got tight on that BP but dug himself out nicely on his serve game from 0-30.

 

[Standaa]

huge hold there

 

[celito]

I feel like Djokovic has wasted 3 years of my life with his ball bouncing.

 

[GFoederer]

Whoa. Nice recovery there.

 

[BrokenGears]

Alright

 

[acintya]

this is life

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Mirka’s dress is beautiful!

 

[NBP]

Servebotterer stuff of dreams

 

[FHtennisman]

Heart is pumping rn, Fed can't waste BPs, has to be more clinical.

 

[TripleATeam]

Good serves. Also poor returns from Djokovic. Throws away a decent chance.

 

[tennisaddict]

The emotional ups and downs are going to kill us all!

I have to become a Nole fan for my own health.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

Fed needa 2 things
1. Put tgose first serves in
2. Attack fully on Novak serve

 

[RF-18]

Djovak has to get that return in play at 0-30..

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Yep, it’s not good so far! Hoping he lifts that percentage soon!

Federer has always crap the bed against novak’s second serve.

 

[BrokenGears]

Anyone have a non lag stream

 

[robthai]

If Federer is able to return Djokovic serve the way he has been doing, Djokovic will crack under pressure in the tie break

 

[SonicNirvana]

Cmon Federer!

 

[KINGROGER]

Unreal serving from Fed there

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Fair play to fed, good save from 0-30

 

[Sorry_to_tell_you_mate]

Federer looks very vulnerable, only his serve-botting is bailing him out.

 

[Meles]

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Nole and Federer getting themselves out of trouble in their service games.

 

[Fed881981]

Fed slightly better so far?

 

[Badabing888]

Fed needs to build more pressure on Novak's serve before he can take these BP opportunities. He was nervy v Rafa as well and couldn't take any in the first set.

 

[Rago]

Fed can't waste BPs, has to be more clinical.

Captain obvious there but yup.

 

[albertobra]

Fact: Federer cannot miss those FHs on BP!

 

[metsman]

Fed playing with the right tactics (maybe needs to flatten out more BH) but I doubt the FH will consistently be there for him with how much he's going for it.

I agree with this. Nole is in every point that develops. Difference thus far is serving.

 

[tennisaddict]

Good serves. Also poor returns from Djokovic. Throws away a decent chance.

That was hardly Djoko errors there

 

[crocon]

Federer's serve looks good. His tactics are reasonable. He just needs his forehand.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

This guy keeps making too many damn UEs.

 

[Sentinel]

Where is Jelena???

 

[metsman]

That was hardly Djoko errors there

returning pinpoint serves to the corner is very easy

 

[True Fanerer]

As long as Fed's legs hold up, I think it's going to be a good one.

 

[Lozo1016]

For all the hand-wringing, we've got 5 straight holds.

 

[BrokenGears]

This lag

 

[tennisaddict]

I agree with this. Nole is in every point that develops. Difference thus far is serving.

Djokovic is getting big serves himself where needed

 

[BeatlesFan]

Fed's misses so far are good misses, because he's going for winners and being aggressive.

 

[zagor]

Novak's incredible depth on defense, it really is like playing a wall.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Nice cat and mouse there, Djokovic giving Federer a little taste of his own medicine

30-0

 

[Terenigma]

Federer looking better on serve but Djokovic is massively superior if the rally goes past 5 shots.

 

[OrangeOne]

Fed playing with the right tactics (maybe needs to flatten out more BH) but I doubt the FH will consistently be there for him with how much he's going for it.

That’s a good thing though right? He’s not going’s to win it with forehands at 85%.

 

[AceSalvo]

Fed is jus wasting all good opportunities with UE

 

[robthai]

As long as Fed's legs hold up, I think it's going to be a good one.

He has been returning very well so far. Unusual for him against Djokovic

 

[metsman]

Federer with some great plays, just can't finish a lot of them. Loss of footwork=loss of precision

 

[weakera]

Djokovic is getting big serves himself where needed

True, but he's playing with fire if he doesn't land them earlier in his service games.

 

[kalyan4fedever]

Fed cannot miss t chances

 

[zagor]

Fed's misses so far are good misses, because he's going for winners and being aggressive.

Missing a low% shot is not an issue. However he's missing on short balls and passing shots.

They're both nervy.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Federer needs an easy hold. Don’t get tight.
