India-KXIP fan Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Gotta give a lot of credit to Federer though despite the obvious choke from Novak. It is not east to play like this at his age. Job not finished but wow this guy is good. The 3 breaks he saved (lost game in the end), then saved a championship point. Even in 1st set when Djokovic had set point produced the most clutch ace. What a beast :hatsoff: So tough mentally, complete opposite of Murray.
zep1706 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 He misseed few easy vollies at crucial times.. Besides if you have good serve and voley going for you you can come back any time in wimbledon unlike French open. Novak has never been good at the net. He has improved a lot but still misses many important ones.
akshayxyz Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Federer might have won it already, had he not taken as many chances, and some below par 1st serve in 2nd set. Still its Djokovic's match to lose.

That statement is true regardless of what happens here.

But in the most crucial points when Djokovic had set point 1st set and championship point last set Federer was really clutch. Damn this guy is so hard to beat.
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 But in the most crucial points when Djokovic had set point 1st set and championship point last set Federer was really clutch. Damn this guy is so hard to beat. Djoko had more than one chance to close it out. HE choked on all the important points with indecisive foot work. To be honest Fedex didn't have to do anything magical.
bones Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Novak is calling for the trainer. bones would have crucified Nadal if it was him. :hysterical: It is pretty bad, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because he's slipped 3 times during the match. Some of them look a bit nasty. Novak is having to fight Fed and the crowd here. If he gets it right between the ears, he should win this. He should have won this in 3 but such is his mental fragility at the moment chokes everywhere.
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Federer is moving much better than Novak. Federer's game is designed for Wimbledon. Even in worst form he will put away most players with ease.

He called the trainer in the second set itself but as soon as he got the break, he suddenly did not need it. You make your own conclusion. :hysterical: The problem is your double standard, You accused Nadal of faking in the Australian open final when he played the last three sets as a crippled man. I was just showing you the mirror, I have no problem with Novak taking the MTO.
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Becker would have vollied most of them with ease This guy's vollying is very very average. Edberg was precision master though in vollying.
India-KXIP fan Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Federer's game is designed for Wimbledon. Even in worst form he will put away most players with ease. I suppose that's what makes Nadal's 2 Wimbledon's very special :hatsoff:
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I suppose that's what makes Nadal's 2 Wimbledon's very special :hatsoff: Ofcourse.. That guy winning wimbledon with his baseline game is an inhumane task that too beating the Grasscout king in the final.
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 If they put out a stat for who spent more clories it would obviously be Djoko. Fedex has literally made him run around.
India-KXIP fan Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Federer is moving much better than Novak. I thought given he's ageing Federer would be tiring in the 5th, no signs so far though.
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 I thought given he's ageing Federer would be tiring in the 5th' date=' no signs so far though.[/quote'] We are merely seeing the clock. in theory Fedex didn't have to move much for most of his points.
zep1706 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Posted July 6, 2014 I thought given he's ageing Federer would be tiring in the 5th' date=' no signs so far though.[/quote'] Federer moves better than anyone else on grass. People don't realize that defense played a huge part in his 7 Wimbledon titles, especially the BH slice. Only Nadal can attack that slice, everyone else replies defensively giving Federer a chance to attack.
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Novan looks rather tired. His game is like that Deep baseline.. So for each point he runs twice more than Federer.
vvvslaxman Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Just observe the feet movement of both players.. You can clearly see Djoko has to cover more distance than Fedex.. Fedex at best one step on left or one step right.
