Fed lost his mind. Djokovic holds.
The net saves Fed.
Two Championship points.
Djokovic wins 7-6 (7-1) 6-7 (10-12) 6-4 6-3.
Djokovic gets his ninth Slam.
Now they close the roof.
Deserved by Djokovic, forced Federer to go for too much, brilliant ability to bail himself out when in trouble on his serve.
Federer looked tired at the end, at his peak might probably have won but being pulled all over the court at 33 must be exhausting.
Djokovic adapted his game perfectly on grass, incredibly low on unforced errors (Nadal esque)
Djokovic .
He should have won it in straight sets really, but made two poor errors in the second set tie-break. It was another match of a really high standard, but Djokovic was just incredibly accurate and solid in every department. This was an actual statement from Djokovic to well and truly confirm his status as the best player in the world. Not like one of those statements where Man City beat Sunderland 2-0 and send one to their rivals a message, but a proper one.
Tennis .
And Roddick . He should get Sue Barker's job too.
Aren't tennis players nice? In all the interviews, and in their general demeanor, they come across as really classy people, magnanimous in victory or defeat.
Why are footballers such utter twats in comparison?
