Both players have extraordinary mental strength. I gotta say, though, major props for Novak to fight through a crowd that clearly favoured Roger. That self conviction is truly unshakeable.
R R Huge Federer fan though I am, I fully agree. To beat Roger Federer is one thing. To beat the entire Wimbledon crowd is something else entirely. A staggering achievement for Djokovic, I gained a new respect for him.
Sorry I disagree, Federer has very weak mental strength, he needed to focus all his energy and belief into that ONE ace, at 40-15, and not panic, or rush, this is where Nadal, had he had these 2 mp, would never have blown it, he would have either hit an ace, or service winner, or grinded the point out somehow, until Novak submitted, Federer badly needs prayer, and sports psychologist, to get rid of these demons.
@@pauljohnson6019 I don't think Federer has a weak mentral strength, his 2009 and 2017 seasons prove it, or even matches like his 2011 RG semi-final against Novak or his 2020 AO match against Sandgren. But I do think his mental strength is not at the level of Rafa and Nole and he slipped some crucial points, so we can say we have seen both sides of him.
@@Vaisin Wimbledon 2019 was the worst nightmare, for Roger! He certainly doesn't have the strength of Novak, he might have the game, and the beauty, but without winning the match, it means little to nothing!
He's proud of himself. I'v noticed as he's gotten older he deals with loses better because he realizes how special the moments are and he's grateful to even be here. He's still a 20 time champion and made it to 31 finals.
3 finals between Nole and Roger, but Nole, won all the three encounters at Wimbledon and Nole, didn't yelled a single word of frustration and emotions against Roger which shows how much he respects Roger. Congrats to Nole on winning his 5th Wimbledon and overall his 16th GS title.
Mr Djocovic have gone stark into my heart. Have never felt so deep emotions for a sportsman like him in my over 70 yrs life. All in all...GREAT GENTLEMEN.. But also these have once to resign the GS...when age and time is there
me too. feel so deflated. emotionally, mentality and physically drained after watching that match. after novak broke him when he had those 2 championship points it sucked the life out of me. from that point on i just knew novak was going to win.
Ifi didnt see this match and after that someone told me that Djoko won i would have said "Thats what i expected" But after seeing the match and those match points it hurts so much.
And Roddick didn't even have championship points in his serve, or didn't lose a 5th set tiebreak. No, this one stands alone. The scoring system on occasion can be cruel. Fed played great to get all those breaks, it's not that he blew it. He was unlucky. He had more break mountain the 11 11 game, and was unlucky. The match was on his racquet all day. At almost 38, wow.
Two championship point on his service, the crowd chanting his name and Nole gets the victory. Respect to Roger, but my admiration was definitely for Novak today.
It‘s harder to be the crowd‘s favorite than one might think. Look at Novak at the US Open final 2021 and how he got crushed by his fans, not deliberately of course. Federer was always a crowd favorite, and to my mind, that puts a lot of weight on your shoulders, and he got and gets closer to a victory or even wins more often than Novak as a crowd favorite…
I compete myself and the truth is one match point away is a mile off. It aint over until the last ball is struck........I never felt comfortable watching Roger serve for it.
@@victoriachubb572 very true, many lose their serve when serving for the match, the difference with this was Federer unbalanced Nole with the 1st serve on second championship point and should have gone to volley. He didn't do that...the rest is history
Very well played Roger. Hope he recovers quick. tennis needs him. On another note, it is not fair to compare these great players, particularly players of a different era. Fed, Rafa, and Novak all are great champions. We are so privileged to watch them live competing against each other.

He seems vert calm and at ease. I think he's reached where he knows he's already achieved so much and won't die without this win. He's an expetienced Player. A 20 year old would handle such a loss far differently.
Thats it? A tie break is the highest pressure point in tennis. Fiddles lost all3 of them showing why he only has 1 win in a major final against Rafa/Novak since 2007 and that also came when Novak was out injured and he played a completely gassed Rafa with a days extra rest.
I'm still in tears, sometimes is very painful to be a Roger fan, but i will always support him and believe he can achieve even more. Come back soon and stronger, champion!
The good thing of all this, is that Roger will still be hungry for another Wimbledon. And another great year of tennis ahead. He's in such great form and feeling so good in his game at the moment. It's impressive to see how he can be so calm and reflect on this like a true pro. Thanks for another great tournament, Roger!
His target would most likely be the us open which he has been craving for 10 years. With this performance he would have enough motivation for the us open. To think of it us open is just one month away
Roger Federer is the gold standard of Tennis and human beings. And, Novak is a fantastic player himself. Their stokes are sublime. Their speed dazzling. Their matches wondeful to watch. And, to learn from. Tennis is a fantastic sport. Need more of both these guys in Professional tennis.

@@ej2832 He hasn't won Us open in over 10 years lol so it's going to be very difficult. Want him to win it but its unlikely. This was his best chance and he blew it but he can comeback next year if playing on same level.

I knew I wasn’t the only one feeling such great pain. Hope we all can get over it sooner than later. Someone needs to come up with a tennis pain relief pill, something like Tylenol/ tenninol to alleviate this pain.
Fed fan logic.. Next theyll be saying Feds poo smells the best which makes him the GOAT.. Seems like for them everything but what happens on a tennis court makes Fed the GOAT
When he got the break and was up 15:40 on match point, I thought Roger will surely win this but man this guy Novak really digs deep at the most important point and wins it! Novak is unbelievable!
Khalidul Haq it helps when your opponent throws a forehand away, and in the second comes to the net with a bad approach, really not well played on those 2 match points I think
It's rather Federer chocking than Djokovic seizing the points. He choked big time and he knows it, even though he is not acknowledging publicly. This is it for him I guess. He will retire next year.
@@dodu8281 Lots of Europeans are indeed trilingual, but it's a bit of an overstatement to say that "most Europeans speak at least three languages fluently." The best statistics I've seen suggest that about 25% of Europeans consider themselves trilingual, while only about 10% speak more than three languages.
Guys, come on. McEnroe was the GOAT doubles player of all time, and about the 10th-14th best singles player. Sampras, who I played when he was a young pro, was briefly. considered the GOAT, but is more likely the 5th or 6th best player ever. These three guys are heads and shoulders the GOAT. I went out to dinner with Pete and met Borg ar his hotel room at Disneyworld, so I’m big fans of those guys, but Federer, Nadal and Djokovi are the top three ever.
Lee Marsh not mental strength, maybe mental weakness of Federer then. Btw, Federer didn’t gift it away... the second one was an out-of-this-world winners... considering what was at stake, to have the balls to play that shot and to executed it showed what a great champion he is. How many times did Federer blew away chances. Djokovic pretty much raised his game when it really mattered. One championship point and won
@@RobertJohnson301464 not sure about the US open. As much as I'd love to hope and dream for the US open, the Aus open and Wimbledon is where he performs better. Of course Wimbledon being his best....
Gracious, poised and a supreme gentleman. Just the fact that he's not doubled over and unable to speak after that - is amazing. Both of these guys and Rafa are beyond amazing.
It even hurt me as a Novak fan. I felt sorry for Fed fans not even gonna sugarcoat it. I can Admit that Roger was the better player in that final as well. These things just happen sometimes tho, but I guess that’s why we watch tennis cos it’s never quite over until it’s over!
i feel so bad about roger, if he push it just little bit more, aggressive all in the last break, ...because novak will do this, he wont win the game, he let the other player loose... i think novak got like 2 winning shots in the last 30 minutes , tie break and before... the tie break was such a let down...
@@flyingfox5260 be like Federer, take it on the chin and move on. Acknowledge the sadness, disappointment, anger, for a few minutes. Then take the positives and move on.
Still not able to cope with the fact that he had 2 championship points and couldn't keep the nerve. So close. Not sure if he will ever get that close to another Wimby
@@vikaspizza Its stuff of nightmares lol he blew it. Novak and Rafa will overtake his GS record. If he won he would be at 21 and distanced himself but it's too close now.
The greatest tennis player of all time....Incredibly gracious and humble whether he wins or loses. Really hard to find fault with an athlete like Roger. The epitome of good sportsmanship.
Me to, but he was amazing as always.It was so tough to see him loose this match, but he will play great tennis again and still delight millions of fans.
Amazing match today. The contrast in styles of the brutal elegance from Roger and the robot-like technical perfection and grit from Novak. We might not see matches like this for years to come after these guys retire, unbelievable
As a RF fan, though my heart is broken, I just sit back and think the last 2 performances gave the shivers to Rafa and Djoko, and also shuts up all who want him retired. It actually gives me the confidence that he is going to win atleast 1 more grand slam. 😊
I think the experience of winning and losing 1,487 singles matches has given Federer a fascinating wisdom and maturity. I can't think of many other players that have dealt with a devastating loss so well.
Djokovic dealt really well too with a devastating loss that he had against Carlos Alcaraz at the 2023 Wimbledon Final. I think all 3 players Federer (2008 and 2019 Wimbledon Final), Nadal (2012 and 2017 AO Final) and Djokovic (2013 RG Semis and 2023 Wimbledon Final) have done an incredible job bouncing back from tough losses such as this one. That's why they've won so much throughout their careers, 20+ Grand Slam titles for each player, remarkable! *Federer* - The Swiss Maestro 🇨🇭🐐 *Nadal* - The Spanish Bull 🇪🇸🐐 *Djokovic* - The Serbian Gladiator 🇷🇸🐐
@@georgexanthopoulos3003 His win record is far and away above anyone else that ever played the game. Moreover, it is highly unlikely it will ever be be surpassed. That makes him the GOAT.
@@hayabarakat7889 There is truth in this, but we shouldn't take anything away from Novak's win. They both fought like the champions throughout the match.
@@BreeZieDoesiT Yep. And I think it proves that the edge Djokovic has over Federer and Rafa is in mental toughness. Now, I'm not saying that Djokovic isn't very skillful. But last year Nadal won more games at his Wimbledon semi-final match Djokovic. And today Federer won in mostly all the match stats, but somehow and someway Djokovic still prevailed.
@@hayabarakat7889 Well Djokovic won 3 tie breaks comfortably. The very definition of a key moment in a match. As for the match points, Federer was never even close to winnng those. Not the first time Djokovic has saved match points to Federer. Happened many times before. Fed not got a great record in tight games against Nadal and Djokovic.
His playing style is the best to watch. He played a great tournament, and I hope he keeps going. Its quite amazing how great he plays still to this date.
l c I am a djoko fan. But this match proves once and for all that Federer is THE greatest of all time. 38 year and playing like this? Just unbelievable...
He played incredible and some of the most beautiful tennis over ever seen. It's a crushing defeat. So cruel to end on a frame too. He didn't deserve that. After all the artistic shots he hit in the previous 5 hours.
Winning this championship at the 12-12 tie break of the fifth set it's like win in football on the final penalties, it's true: djokovic win and he's one of the greatest player, Federer wasn't the favourite in the semi and in the final too... He beat Nadal and so close to beat djokovic at 38 yo, a true legend of the sport! he hasn't nothing to demonstrate to anyone anymore.. . The story of the GOAT is insignificant. I hope to watch Federer play tennis the next years, his playing level is incredible and it's a pleasure watch his matches 💪💪💪
The thing about Roger is that he's not only a great, classic and elegant player he is also a beacon of hope and for young people to admire to always be respectful on and off court. It is so endearing that he has the passion for sport but always has respect for everyone. That's why he is so likeable. He really is amazing
I'll never get over this loss. I wanted Roger Federer to win this match more than he did. I'm so heartbroken that he couldn't win one of those two Championship Points
80sruler Yeah he was so close. I think most of the time he would’ve managed to get one of those match points. Ahh damn it. Hopefully he’ll spring back. What I’d give to see him beat Djokovic in a slam final before he retires.
Roger and Djokovic play in a different Universe and make it look rather easy because they are in excellent shape and their foot work and balance to prepare to hit a shot is beyond perfection.
Such an amazing humble and graceful human being. Still has a smile on his face after such a heartbreaking loss in the final after having 2 championship points. He played absolutely incredible, unfortunately its was in the tie breakers where he could find his best tennis. Shame but what a performance and an amazing individual.
I agree...The question should be,how comes these youngsters unable to break this trilogy... Novie,Rafa and Fed are tennis elite. Youngsters need to step up.
2010, 2011 US open SF...2019 Wimbledon final. On all occasions Federer had two match points vs Djokovic, blew them all. Shows how mentally strong Djokovic is.
The memory of these previous comebacks from novak probably cause this one too.. jeez i still can't believe it.. 40-15... I mean what kind of juju did novak use😂😂😂
I would say Novak dug in those other matches and earned it the hard way. This match was different. It felt as though Fed wasn’t expected to win, perhaps should not have been in a position to win vs Djokovic especially following the emotional semifinal vs Rafa. Yet, despite all this, he was able to step back to the fold after losing 2 tough breakers, and was able to set himself up for victory in the 5th. Furthermore in that game, poor shot selection, tactics, and possibly nerves for the better of him. In short, this match ended with the feeling like Federer let it slip away rather than Djokovic pulling it from him.
What a blessed privilege to have witnessed this golden age of tennis and its top-notch contenders, who exemplify their love and respect for the sport by their display of competitive spirit and gracious sportsmanship. It just doesn't get any better than this.
So much respect for this guy, to be able to hold his composure answering these incredibly idiotic questions. Kyrgios would have murdered someone by the 3rd question.
Utterly devastated! Absolutely nothing can help relieve the pain of todays loss..2 championship points on serve? I really hope he can get over this as us fans..Such a brutal ending
morpheum666 hshsh I dont think this loss will impact his retirement...if he lost 6-1 6-1 6-1 then yes..but he was one shot away from winning it...competing toe to toe with djoker for 5 hours at 37 years? Most would dream abt it...It might just extend some motivation if not anything
@@aamirrazak3467 also look at the stats..more aces, less double faults, more points won overall, more games won, better serves both first and second...it's heartbreaking

What an absolute gentleman! .. the way he handles himself in win and defeat shows his character ... personally I think he was the better player at this final .. Djokovic is a warrior ..
Gutted - wanted Fed to get another one. To get two Championship points and still come in runner up - I do think that he was actually the better player out there today!
The gutting thing about those match points is they were ON HIS SERVE. Who was the last person to serve for a slam title and lose the match? Did Coria serve for the match at any point at RG 2004? The other gutting thing is Novak had MPs v Fed in the 4th set at Wimbledon 2014 and still won in 5.
I am simply amazed how well Roger handled that interview even having some laugh when asked the last question about similarities of the 2008 final and this one. What a legend! What a champ!
I hope he gets over this one faster than I will.
He just needs to look at his bank account balance.
Exactly!!

I am so hoping this younger set steps up to meet these three champs
I've been crying for over an hour now.. I just can't stop, I think by the time I'm done crying I might flood my house... I feel incredible pain... I love Roger so much.....
Roger will bounce back in the US Open.
steelN7 me too i was upset i think it will take time to cope over this situation, over the lost of our Hero😭😬 its a pity hard to move on😰
@@ej2832 He hasn't won Us open in over 10 years lol so it's going to be very difficult. Want him to win it but its unlikely. This was his best chance and he blew it but he can comeback next year if playing on same level.
@@AzAkh60 I agree that he will come back next, but he might not get the dream draw. sport is a funny thing and miracles do happen! He could get the US open if the stars aligned for him..we will see!
I knew I wasn’t the only one feeling such great pain. Hope we all can get over it sooner than later. Someone needs to come up with a tennis pain relief pill, something like Tylenol/ tenninol to alleviate this pain.
Such a classy guy, and to be able to sit there and answer questions from reporters in three different languages without a hiccup, he's awesome.
It’s been 5 years, and I am still not over it.
Roger is all class even when dealing with a major loss - best ever player in everyway.
Funny.
Except in like being-better-than-Djokovic-1:1 way.
Fed fan logic.. Next theyll be saying Feds poo smells the best which makes him the GOAT.. Seems like for them everything but what happens on a tennis court makes Fed the GOAT
He was beaten by a player who played at 50% of his potential. How subjective ppl are.
Who? Michael Jordan is......
Really gutted and feel sad for this incredible guy. Heartbreaking, in tears for him. He’s managing far better emotionally than me.
Lol
I feel bad because if this was a year ago they would’ve kept going. I think tiebreakers are his kryptonite
@@emmac.j.8374 federer literally has the best tie break win% of all time......
When he got the break and was up 15:40 on match point, I thought Roger will surely win this but man this guy Novak really digs deep at the most important point and wins it! Novak is unbelievable!
Khalidul Haq it helps when your opponent throws a forehand away, and in the second comes to the net with a bad approach, really not well played on those 2 match points I think
Roger choked 3 tiebreakers. Novak has balls.
Johan Rijhkelaar Also helps when a fan screams in the middle of your serve
Hitting a weak serve to Novak's forehand was hilarious on that first match point.
It's rather Federer chocking than Djokovic seizing the points. He choked big time and he knows it, even though he is not acknowledging publicly. This is it for him I guess. He will retire next year.
He moves between languages as gracefully as he does points on the court.
nicely put. u must be an american. most europeans speak at least 3 languages fluently. switzerland is 50% french-german.
@@dodu8281 Lots of Europeans are indeed trilingual, but it's a bit of an overstatement to say that "most Europeans speak at least three languages fluently." The best statistics I've seen suggest that about 25% of Europeans consider themselves trilingual, while only about 10% speak more than three languages.
So he's a ballerina?
Novak fluently speaks more languages ...perhaps that's why he won
@@x3merx3mer lol, no. He won because he played the big points better . . like he usually does.
Federer, Nadal, Djokovic. The GREATEST THREE PLAYERS EVER.
Bjorn Borg greatest player
Peter Sampras too.
I agree - but I want to add John McEnroe 🎾😘
Guys, come on. McEnroe was the GOAT doubles player of all time, and about the 10th-14th best singles player. Sampras, who I played when he was a young pro, was briefly. considered the GOAT, but is more likely the 5th or 6th best player ever. These three guys are heads and shoulders the GOAT. I went out to dinner with Pete and met Borg ar his hotel room at Disneyworld, so I’m big fans of those guys, but Federer, Nadal and Djokovi are the top three ever.
@john hayter Sampras? The guy who never went past the semis at RG?
What a sportsman and what a personality.. definately the GOAT
Hats off to Djokovic... his mental strength was madness and that was the difference
Totally considering the audience was pretty much against him.....
Jack it's not mental strength.fed gifted it to djokovic with those two poor serves at match point
@@leemarsh3454 what a spastic.. djokovic is superior to frauderer
Lee Marsh not mental strength, maybe mental weakness of Federer then. Btw, Federer didn’t gift it away... the second one was an out-of-this-world winners... considering what was at stake, to have the balls to play that shot and to executed it showed what a great champion he is. How many times did Federer blew away chances. Djokovic pretty much raised his game when it really mattered. One championship point and won
Skyfrost 13 lmao stop disrespecting him.. both of them deserve the respect and credit
Federer is playing in the final in a very great tournament. Just congratulate him to doing such good play !
Very-Very Well said!! " I dont want to be depressed about actually an amazing tennis match" - yes, very well said!
Who are Watching this in 2024 and still can’t get over it?
very happy😂
When all of them are retired, it's Roger who will be missed the most by the Tennis world. Forever the GOAT.
abhishek narayan no doubt
Djoker 4ever.
Definitely
Roger will be ok... The greats move on... That's what makes them great. Congrats Nole.
R. Fazor yes the US open is next
@@RobertJohnson301464 not sure about the US open. As much as I'd love to hope and dream for the US open, the Aus open and Wimbledon is where he performs better. Of course Wimbledon being his best....
@@mariasimitsis8031 I get your point. But let's not forget he's won five of those and gotten awfully close a few other times.
Gracious, poised and a supreme gentleman. Just the fact that he's not doubled over and unable to speak after that - is amazing. Both of these guys and Rafa are beyond amazing.
Three years later and this still hurts 😓
same man, same
@@adityasharma-ps6hl4 now.
Feels better than ever as a Novak fan
NOVAK 24 Grand Slams in 2023!
It even hurt me as a Novak fan. I felt sorry for Fed fans not even gonna sugarcoat it. I can Admit that Roger was the better player in that final as well. These things just happen sometimes tho, but I guess that’s why we watch tennis cos it’s never quite over until it’s over!
„so close , so far“ ... couldn‘t be more true
Lets appreciate a great final 2 unbelievable athletes,players,the fitness to play 5 hours.congrats novak and roger
i feel so bad about roger, if he push it just little bit more, aggressive all in the last break, ...because novak will do this, he wont win the game, he let the other player loose... i think novak got like 2 winning shots in the last 30 minutes , tie break and before... the tie break was such a let down...
Mufc gamer and they have equal prize money?what a joke! The women's final lasted 52 minutes by this point the men were still playing the first set!
@@dodu8281 yaa pushers will wait for others' mistakes
What a true champion so calm and nice. Good sportsmanship from the goat
thats what some tennis player should learn from him..
Will Stoppani That’s part of his job !
Yes, good sportsmanship from Novak as always.
It's hard to see him loose with championship points........it's heartbreaking!!!!!!still could not believe what happened in the end!!!!
It’s 2021 and I’m still not over this.......golden opportunity born out of skill, endurance and mental strength......
How he's able to stand after that match is just beyond my comprehension!
Absolute legend. But Djokovic has the stronger mind and won the points when it really mattered...even with that crowd against him.
Exactly. Djokovic blew me away with his ability to clinch what it took to win.
That guy Djokovic is a magician
@@fiogray "barely" won against ROGER FEDERER.
@@byzantinegold, yes, an old (for tennis) Roger Federer. Imagine if Federer was as young as Novak.
Ah, chill roger 5 years older more breaks😂
I am gutted for Federer. Not sure if I will be able to sleep tonight. So heart broken.
sadiTube I know man, I feel like life has no sense at the moment 😅 can’t believe he lost that...
sadiTube it's 4:30 am in my country and i m not sleeping. I m crying while watching this . I will never recover from this loss. It is heart breaking
@@flyingfox5260 be like Federer, take it on the chin and move on. Acknowledge the sadness, disappointment, anger, for a few minutes. Then take the positives and move on.
Still not able to cope with the fact that he had 2 championship points and couldn't keep the nerve. So close. Not sure if he will ever get that close to another Wimby
@@vikaspizza Its stuff of nightmares lol he blew it. Novak and Rafa will overtake his GS record. If he won he would be at 21 and distanced himself but it's too close now.
GOAT not just because of the tennis. Which by the way is the best ever played by anyone, but GOAT because of the person he is.
Well said
Novak is better
Absolutely, the love and respect he generates is just huge, what an inspiration for people!
Met him in person... i was not impressed
@@themerovingian7154 Novak can beat any version of Roger
The greatest tennis player of all time....Incredibly gracious and humble whether he wins or loses. Really hard to find fault with an athlete like Roger. The epitome of good sportsmanship.
Why do I torture myself watching this two years later
My heart breaks for Federer :(
mkloo3 true that
If I could put your tears in a bottle I would give to Djoker to drink.
@@samuelmorse784 Thankfully Novak, Roger and Rafa are much more classy and gracious than most of their fans.
@@samuelmorse784 😂😂😂
Me to, but he was amazing as always.It was so tough to see him loose this match, but he will play great tennis again and still delight millions of fans.
It's so pleasing to hear him talk in all the different languages. Such class..
I was shocked to hear he responded in different languages... he's just a class above the rest....A true gentleman & a great champion
At times like these he probably wishes he didn't. Staying for more questions and probably getting asked the same thing 2 or 3 times.
Amazing match today. The contrast in styles of the brutal elegance from Roger and the robot-like technical perfection and grit from Novak. We might not see matches like this for years to come after these guys retire, unbelievable
T
Greatest sportspersons ever??
As a RF fan, though my heart is broken, I just sit back and think the last 2 performances gave the shivers to Rafa and Djoko, and also shuts up all who want him retired.
It actually gives me the confidence that he is going to win atleast 1 more grand slam. 😊
I think the experience of winning and losing 1,487 singles matches has given Federer a fascinating wisdom and maturity. I can't think of many other players that have dealt with a devastating loss so well.
Yeah, Djokovic has given him a lot of practice in devastating losses.. ;).
Djokovic dealt really well too with a devastating loss that he had against Carlos Alcaraz at the 2023 Wimbledon Final. I think all 3 players Federer (2008 and 2019 Wimbledon Final), Nadal (2012 and 2017 AO Final) and Djokovic (2013 RG Semis and 2023 Wimbledon Final) have done an incredible job bouncing back from tough losses such as this one. That's why they've won so much throughout their careers, 20+ Grand Slam titles for each player, remarkable!
*Federer* - The Swiss Maestro 🇨🇭🐐
*Nadal* - The Spanish Bull 🇪🇸🐐
*Djokovic* - The Serbian Gladiator 🇷🇸🐐
@@pacifist1360nah the alcaraz loss was nowhere near the federer 2019 loss
A true gentleman and still the greatest of all time. Gracious in defeat.
GLOAT at his best. Anyway, he is one of the best.
I find that any 'Fed is GOAT' post gets Nole fans more triggered than anyone else ever lol.
@@georgexanthopoulos3003 His win record is far and away above anyone else that ever played the game. Moreover, it is highly unlikely it will ever be be surpassed. That makes him the GOAT.
@@georgexanthopoulos3003 prob. Because nole has better h2h stats
@@magicfuumaster4063 Yep. And because most of them are Serbians lol
It's so reassuring to see him upbeat and sort of calm and happy. I'm glad this hasn't totally wrecked him like in 2008. Aw Roger!
He accepts his fate and knows his days aren't much left. Has to move on. Cruel world and destiny
From a nadal fan....huge respect fed... djokovic was just a Little Bit better on the most important points..... the big 3 are just ridiculous good
@@hayabarakat7889 There is truth in this, but we shouldn't take anything away from Novak's win. They both fought like the champions throughout the match.
Federer was way better on the stat sheet. Djoker played the breakers better
@@BreeZieDoesiT
Yep. And I think it proves that the edge Djokovic has over Federer and Rafa is in mental toughness. Now, I'm not saying that Djokovic isn't very skillful. But last year Nadal won more games at his Wimbledon semi-final match Djokovic. And today Federer won in mostly all the match stats, but somehow and someway Djokovic still prevailed.
They're machines.
@@hayabarakat7889 Well Djokovic won 3 tie breaks comfortably. The very definition of a key moment in a match. As for the match points, Federer was never even close to winnng those. Not the first time Djokovic has saved match points to Federer. Happened many times before. Fed not got a great record in tight games against Nadal and Djokovic.
His playing style is the best to watch. He played a great tournament, and I hope he keeps going.
Its quite amazing how great he plays still to this date.
“I don’t want to be depressed over an actually amazing tennis match.”
Saying this with the most depressing face.
I don't think so. He looks stoic.
😂😂😂😂 He did look too bitter.
The problem is,body language is very hard to manipulate...
congrats to novak, but this is heartbreaking for fed fans. i hope he can win some more tournaments before he retires
He;s a choker. time to retire mate . NOLE IS G.O.A.T
Karl Caton yet he still made it into the wimbledon final after beating nadal...
@@karlcaton3337 He is not. STFU Look at the entire tennis resume, Federer is the GOAT
l c I am a djoko fan. But this match proves once and for all that Federer is THE greatest of all time. 38 year and playing like this? Just unbelievable...
@@FelizNAVIDad293 chokerer blew 2 championship points😂😂
He played incredible and some of the most beautiful tennis over ever seen. It's a crushing defeat. So cruel to end on a frame too. He didn't deserve that. After all the artistic shots he hit in the previous 5 hours.
Winning this championship at the 12-12 tie break of the fifth set it's like win in football on the final penalties, it's true: djokovic win and he's one of the greatest player, Federer wasn't the favourite in the semi and in the final too... He beat Nadal and so close to beat djokovic at 38 yo, a true legend of the sport! he hasn't nothing to demonstrate to anyone anymore.. . The story of the GOAT is insignificant.
I hope to watch Federer play tennis the next years, his playing level is incredible and it's a pleasure watch his matches 💪💪💪
The thing about Roger is that he's not only a great, classic and elegant player he is also a beacon of hope and for young people to admire to always be respectful on and off court. It is so endearing that he has the passion for sport but always has respect for everyone. That's why he is so likeable. He really is amazing
I'll never get over this loss. I wanted Roger Federer to win this match more than he did. I'm so heartbroken that he couldn't win one of those two Championship Points
Don’t know when I will get over it two match points. My heart is broken
Colleen Wellinghton me too i am broken hearted now but God will heal our brokenheartedness, comfort us🙏
same, so traumatic
just try and get over it, novak is magician

No, he was just very lucky today
Jeanne Santabene Novak save 2 matchs points, Federer chocked on the 1st one lmfao. Federer is a looser with a weak mental
Oh goodness this is devastating. He deserved to win. I pray he can win another GS at some point. Just heartbreaking.
Matt Ambrose it was because he was right there
80sruler Yeah he was so close. I think most of the time he would’ve managed to get one of those match points. Ahh damn it. Hopefully he’ll spring back. What I’d give to see him beat Djokovic in a slam final before he retires.
He will win the USOpen 2019
View19 He’s in with a great chance if he can keep his current form and bounce back mentally from this
@@dreamer2260 L noobs! Djokovic won hahahah hahhah hah hLLLLLLLL cryy
Roger and Djokovic play in a different Universe and make it look rather easy
because they are in excellent shape and their foot work and balance to prepare
to hit a shot is beyond perfection.
I was heartbroken after the match, but after seeing how Roger reacts so classy to this loss, I still believe, I still believe Roger! 🐐
Such an amazing humble and graceful human being. Still has a smile on his face after such a heartbreaking loss in the final after having 2 championship points. He played absolutely incredible, unfortunately its was in the tie breakers where he could find his best tennis. Shame but what a performance and an amazing individual.
I wish Roger won Wimbledon he’s the greatest of all time, I hope he wins the US Open!!!! A great Legend
Priya Sharma if plays in the US open hope he plays the defending champion Rafa Nadal that will be a great 👍 match
@@nitalopes515 Nole won it last year.
Sorry my mistake
Hard to feel too bad for a player with 20 Grand Slams but... this one will haunt him. He was one good point away several times.
Some very stupid questions, as usual in such press conferences. I am always impressed by how patients players stay....
Yeah, that question about a politician who is a fan... sheesh
I agree...The question should be,how comes these youngsters unable to break this trilogy...
Novie,Rafa and Fed are tennis elite. Youngsters need to step up.
Here's a fact: Roger hasn't beaten Novak in a GS final for 10 years.
That's probably why he lost. He didn't believe in himself
He won a few in last few years because Djokovic was injured.
Yes last one is 2007 u.s open final
@@gopinath4005 - and the only one
@@danielkurtovic9099
Yes
Managed to win some semis b4 novac's prime time
But after that it became one sided
What a man,what a legend..surely he will comeback even stronger..love u king..#GOAT
2010, 2011 US open SF...2019 Wimbledon final. On all occasions Federer had two match points vs Djokovic, blew them all. Shows how mentally strong Djokovic is.
The memory of these previous comebacks from novak probably cause this one too.. jeez i still can't believe it.. 40-15... I mean what kind of juju did novak use😂😂😂
According to your own logic, it was more that Roger blew it than Novak was mentally strong.
Roger didn't blow them, Novak saved them
I would say Novak dug in those other matches and earned it the hard way. This match was different. It felt as though Fed wasn’t expected to win, perhaps should not have been in a position to win vs Djokovic especially following the emotional semifinal vs Rafa.
Yet, despite all this, he was able to step back to the fold after losing 2 tough breakers, and was able to set himself up for victory in the 5th. Furthermore in that game, poor shot selection, tactics, and possibly nerves for the better of him.
In short, this match ended with the feeling like Federer let it slip away rather than Djokovic pulling it from him.
Roger is so articulate even in pain. Love him.
Roger is the consummate professional!
What a blessed privilege to have witnessed this golden age of tennis and its top-notch contenders, who exemplify their love and respect for the sport by their display of competitive spirit and gracious sportsmanship. It just doesn't get any better than this.
So much respect for this guy, to be able to hold his composure answering these incredibly idiotic questions.
Kyrgios would have murdered someone by the 3rd question.
Utterly devastated! Absolutely nothing can help relieve the pain of todays loss..2 championship points on serve?
I really hope he can get over this as us fans..Such a brutal ending
He's probably in shock right now. But this loss will begin to haunt him. Won't be surprised if he announces retirement soon.
morpheum666 hshsh I dont think this loss will impact his retirement...if he lost 6-1 6-1 6-1 then yes..but he was one shot away from winning it...competing toe to toe with djoker for 5 hours at 37 years? Most would dream abt it...It might just extend some motivation if not anything
I feel so depressed
same here...so difficult to get over it...he really was better
Same gutted for him he played so well ... didn’t deserve to lose imo especially not the way he did
@@aamirrazak3467 also look at the stats..more aces, less double faults, more points won overall, more games won, better serves both first and second...it's heartbreaking

But this are the matches that people love him even more than before, so he won even more fans now, he doesn't realise how loved he is it's ridiculous
Truth.
Simply, he is the best player ever and a very nice guy, and on top of it he's honest and very clever.
What an absolute gentleman! .. the way he handles himself in win and defeat shows his character ...
personally I think he was the better player at this final .. Djokovic is a warrior ..

In thought I had hair on my screen and blow it LOL
Hevin Amber still the GOAT 😂😂😂
Gutted - wanted Fed to get another one. To get two Championship points and still come in runner up - I do think that he was actually the better player out there today!
trooper - The mental strength of Djokovic was the real winner!
The gutting thing about those match points is they were ON HIS SERVE. Who was the last person to serve for a slam title and lose the match? Did Coria serve for the match at any point at RG 2004?
The other gutting thing is Novak had MPs v Fed in the 4th set at Wimbledon 2014 and still won in 5.
A true legend! Win or loose doesn’t matter we witnessed the best game by the greatest players
C'mon Roger!!! He's absolutely not done yet. He's shown that he can still win slams. He just needs to keep on going.
He must be devastated but what an absolute class act he is
Love from India💗 Respect for both the players. Epic match !!! But the loss has really dented a deep hole in heart 😔☹️😖😖 Hope he bounce back soon.
