Novak totally after Fed: 2BPs

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 15:04 (nine years ago) link

Both sets were won by the player who looked inferior for most of them

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 15:11 (nine years ago) link

Djokovic making some crucial gets to get that break...

lex pretend, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:09 (nine years ago) link

that return pushed all the lines - and so a break, give this another 15 mins.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:09 (nine years ago) link

Federer doesn't look like he has much left. These errors

lex pretend, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:15 (nine years ago) link

oh man 0-30 up then more errors after some good serving

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:24 (nine years ago) link

Break for the title Nole!

lex pretend, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:26 (nine years ago) link

two BPs for the title

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:26 (nine years ago) link

Does it!!

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:27 (nine years ago) link

Drama-free!

lex pretend, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:27 (nine years ago) link

Welp. Kinda feel like if Rog couldn't do it here, he might not ever again. Though I guess it's always possible he lands in a final against someone else. But it's going to be hard.

Really kept it together after the calamity of that 2nd set.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:28 (nine years ago) link

As for Fed to make it to a final at 33 its just one more line to add to the legend.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:29 (nine years ago) link

The one weird thing about Djokovic's resumé post-2011 is that he's underperformed at Slams relatively to his dominance everywhere else. This is the FIRST time since 2011 he's won multiple Slams in one year, and even with this he's only won 4 of the past 14 Slams (obv still great, but a small proportion given that he's mostly been a dominant No 1 in that period).

4 of the past 14, but now 3 of the past 5, so this is being redressed, it looks like

lex pretend, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:32 (nine years ago) link

I was rooting for the old guy but man, those errors at the end. Such a shame after the way he's been playing these past few weeks.

Roz, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:34 (nine years ago) link

BONUS HINGIS STILL TO COME!

lex pretend, Sunday, 12 July 2015 16:57 (nine years ago) link

4 of the past 14, but now 3 of the past 5, so this is being redressed, it looks like

Jury is still out for me - obv he is playing at a great level, but three of those slam wins came at a still coming back Murray in Australia and then an older great.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 12 July 2015 17:05 (nine years ago) link

you can only beat who they put in front of you tho, and as lex says his slam record if anything underrates his dominance
