I don't know what it is. It is obvious that yesterday's final was special. Very special. Mental fortitude.
But I have this gut feeling that this will be the turning point to where Djokovic finally get's the respect he deserves from the tennis establishment, and fans alike.
Yesterday Djokovic showed that he is the dominant player over Federer. He scrapped the win against Federer. A match he probably had no business winning.
This match will damage Federer's legacy. Don't know why I feel that, but I have the feeling that fans will slowly start to turn. Federer has reached his peak in terms of fandom. The only way is down now, and I feel that this match will be the push.
Novak will fill that vacuum, to some extent.
I already see it in today's articles about yesterdays match. Even reluctant journalists in the past are now admitting that Novak is in the GOAT debate. Even die hard fans of Federer admit that his mental game is lacklustre.
It is all adding up in tennis fans minds.
Yesterdays match is historic in more ways than one.
