So was Federer's final shot.
Basically, in the Slams, no.
Well except Thiem on clay as he is least making finals and did take out Djokovic at the French Open.
Most of them have the prospect of having to beat all three of Federer, Djokovic and Nadal. It's nigh-on impossible. Federer nearly took them both out but ultimately he couldn't even do it with Championship points!
Where does Djokovic place in the GOAT conversation? Seems like Federer and Nadal are spoken of a lot more highly than him when there’s every chance he could end up with more slams than at least one, if not both of them.
Thought Djokovic didn't play well yesterday despite winning, his server was off, his returns weren't as sharp as usual, even his running looked laboured at times and he made a lot of unforced errors.
Federer played the better of the two but it shows the determination of Djokovic that he found a way to win, at 40-15 to Federer with two championship points to Federer in the 5th I thought it was over!
