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

[TennisFan3]

The crowd really sucks at Wimbledon. I mean it's 99% Federer. This is really UNFAIR IMO. These guys are NOT tennis fans. Cheering the UFEs of a player. Super pathetic.

Djokovic has won the title 4 times and is world #1. Surely he deserves some respect. Crazy Brits.

I hope Djokovic wins in 5 for that very reason. A big FU to the crowd.

 

[The Guru]

Unless Djokovic wins 13-12 in the 5th lmao

 

[Terry Tibbs]

Federer's level has dropped a lot now

 

[BeatlesFan]

I guess I’m the only one still believing that roger is gonna win this. Maybe @BeatlesFan is with me?

Djokovic is obviously still the favorite, but Roger's still in it. He's played WELL, despite what his detractors are saying.

 

[OrangeOne]

I. Love. The. Wimbledon. Crowd.

I have sat in that court. It’s incredible. But even if djoker wins he’ll forever know they like Fed 100% more.

 

[Sputnik Bulgorov]

Will Fed end up like Roddick in Wimbledon 2009? There's actually a lot of similarities. Fed won two tiebreaks and couldn't break serve, similar to Novak in this match.

 

[Terenigma]

I am still on cloud 9 he beat Rafa, I expected a loss here in four. He's played and served brilliantly except.... in the clutch moments. He's been this way for years now, he's 38, what does anyone expect?

I think people don't know what to expect from him so they just assume the best and that he's still going to blow our minds. I remember watching the 2017 Australian open final and how big that win was and if it would be his last hurrah and yet here we are 2 years later and he's still making slam finals AND he's just broken Djokovic to possibly take this to 5 sets. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Man this guy in the blue shirt that always standing whenever Roger wins a point!

Could Wimbledon find a better camera angle?

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Fed fans you gotta hold your emotions in match thread. How can you idolise a player and then trash him so hard once he’s losing. The match is still alive!

LOL - There is one who is having a going at me, he doesn't understand what a grave mistake he has made by what he posted....

 

[AiRFederer]

Man, Fed knows how to torture his fans.

Take this to 5 and lose now ??

Did that in '14 and '15

 

[acintya]

HAIL TO FUZZY YELLOW BALLS for 5 setter prediction?

 

[robthai]

im not negative, Im a realist. Fed has no chance.

 

[HowsItGoin]

When you think about it. Federer outlasting Djokovic in 5 at Wimbledon seems just right for his last behest grand slam act. Doesn’t it?

Fast forward 20 mins... 6-4 to Djok in the 4th

 

[Luiz Felipe]

He could.hold.here and break again. Against djokovic is good to have two breaks up

 

[GabeT]

It ain’t over till it’s over

 

[Rogfan]

Fed IS winning this set and the match!!!

But it was game set match not too long ago?

 

[AceSalvo]

I am not watching this set. Lo and behold Fed breaks.

I did watch the 1st and the third. Maybe its me.

 

[Tennisgods]

I am not condoning fans sulking and giving up on Roger, and he is not playing bad, but come on! The errors Federer made in crucial moments so far were disappointing AF.

Expected though, surely? Old and tight as a drum in those breakers.

 

[Steve0904]

Novak's energy levels are far more up are down than when he was younger. Novak wouldn't be behind a break if this was 14-15 right now.

 

[romeo8880]

Anybody else sensing the first 12-12 tiebreaker in the 5th just to give us all a heart attack?

 

[robthai]

Only reason Fed is playing well now is because he has nothing to lose. As soon as theres pressure, he will lose serve once again

 

[RF6777]

Even if Froud loses...I m fine now...As he is the better player for 3.5 sets

 

[TheIntrovert]

If fed wins this set, momentum will be on his side for the final set

 

[tennis_pro]

So this is 2010 US Open SF all over again but in reverse so Fed will win.

 

[zagor]

You have to laugh at the irony. All this fuss about making grass slower so there that the serve isn't everything, yet already two TBs. Except for set 2, which was just a tank, it's all about holding serve. Not so different scoreline from Sampras/Ivanisevic. The look may be totally different, but the result is about the same. It's the one thing I prefer about clay tennis. There is more drama re breaks in clay. Just one break will probably settle this set too. If not another TB. Imagine this match in the old days, when you had to win every set by 2 games. They would be playing until someone had to call paramedics.

Think that has more to do with both of Fedovic being slower and returning worse. It's not exactly a high quality match.

People rag on Sampras-Goran but I re-watched their 1995 semi recently and really enjoyed the match. It wasn't just serving, there were plenty of cat and mouse play, return winners, volleys, half-volleys etc.

 

[Dilexson]

Damn. Why did they bring in the 5th set tiebreak?

 

[MasturB]

Break again plz

 

[TripleATeam]

Finally gonna get a break point?

Djokovic is going to break right back in this set.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Did that in '14 and '15

Not in '15

 

[robthai]

Even if Federer manages to win this set, he will get streamrolled in the 5th like in Wimbledon 2014

 

[NatF]

Loving the net play from Federer there, thought the approach was too middle of the court but got away with it.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Feds on top again! Djoko just needs to hang in there!

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Federer all over that court now...

 

[The Guru]

That was the easiest pass ever Djokovic really doesnt deserrve to win

 

[TheIntrovert]

Can’t help but agree with the first part. swinging a lot cleanly now. Like in 2017. But I don’t think he will Choke. At least I hope he doesn’t.

Only reason Fed is playing well now is because he has nothing to lose. As soon as theres pressure, he will lose serve once again

Frustrating but you’re probably right

 

[crocon]

Beautiful volley. All of a sudden Federer is a bit more aggressive.

 

[Sarzy]

Anybody else sensing the first 12-12 tiebreaker in the 5th just to give us all a heart attack?

Stop it. lol

 

[BeatlesFan]

Whatever the result , it's still some of the greatest tennis you will see from a 37 years old.
And overall a respectable level by any standards.

Not "some of the greatest tennis" you'll ever see from a 37 year old, but the BEST ever. Probably won't be enough, but he's still utterly amazing.

 

[tennisaddict]

This match clearly shows Novak cannot get another 5 majors, even if he wins here.

 

[TheIntrovert]

This is the roger we saw on Friday

 

[kishnabe]

Where was this play in the Tiebreaks...

 

[Jeffliang02]

Federer's forehand is clicking now, this is getting exciting!

 

[BorisRogerFan]

Anybody else sensing the first 12-12 tiebreaker in the 5th just to give us all a heart attack?

5th set 6-3 for Roger

 

[The Guru]

Man Djokovic really sucks

 

[robthai]

Finally gonna get a break point?

He will convert on his very 1st chance, unlike Fed who needs more than 20 break points.

 

[existential dread]

He only seems capable of playing this well after having lost a set.

And he's got no more sets to give.

I hope Djokovic wins in 5 for that very reason. A big FU to the crowd.

Maybe if he didn't play mashed potatoes all the time he'd have more fans. I liked him way more in 2007-2008.

Useless gen may disagree

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Mighty Fat breaks again
