    2:58:26 that face expression tells you everything about the shot that is about to come.
    The tournament, the opponent, the crowd, the double matchpoint, what a moment.
    For me that is the definition of Djokovic.

      I watched it live but didn't remember Djokovic's expression before the return. It was obvious Djokovic was psyching himself up for a big shot, and totally refutes Federer's whiny statement that it was a "lucky shot". And he totally read that wide serve and just caned it.

      Indeed, as a Fedal fan, I feel nothing but respect for Novak Djokovic as a tennis player. I also feel he's a bit misunderstood as a person (even though he has done some thinks I don't like, nobody's perfect, even Roger and Rafa have made mistakes in their lives). Also, I don't feel like Roger and Novak don't like each other, I know there used to be tensions between their respective families but I don't feel themselves are tensioned with one another.

    @MrCoDeYY 3 ปีที่แล้ว +657

    To me, this is by far federers biggest choke. In 2010, he did have two match points, but Djokovic just went nuclear in those two points and started hitting shots that simply have no answer. Whereas in 2011, Novak did hit the greatest return of all time (hard to argue with that), however federer still had ANOTHER match point after, forehand straight into the net, then a double fault then eventually he got broken. This is a much bigger choke than Wimbledon 2019 and us open 2010 as Novak just went for shots during those match points. Have to respect Novak’s mental strength in these matches (Nadal fan!).
    Also, the face novak makes before hitting the return has to be the most boss move in the history of tennis. Crowd against him, on the verge of defeat and he’s like ‘okay you want me to lose ? Fine’ and the smile before the second match point as well. Respect to all these legends.

    • @viksinha5410
      @viksinha5410 3 ปีที่แล้ว +64

      Yes I think he was saying, "If I'ma go outta here, I'ma do it in style," and if Nole had gone on to lose then he would go up to the net and congratulate Roger and then give the crowd a nice smile as he walks off court.
      Here's how I would rank Federer's 3 "chokes" against Novak:
      2011 (definitely a choke; no arguments needed)
      2019 (you could argue that it was a choke or that it wasn't a choke)
      2010 (not a choke in the slightest; besides it was Novak serving)

      Yh, those losses are very close to this in terms of choke, but I think this is just another level for someone like federer. Just to completely breakdown on the brink of victory and ending arguably the greatest season in tennis history (Novak’s 2011).

It's not easy for us Fed fans to understand or cope with (especially knowing that this match, like 8-9 out of every 10 matches against the Djoker, was on the Fed's racquet), but that's way the cookie's crumbled and it's hurt Fed fans more than perhaps the Fed will ever know.

FYI, aces on second serve do happen, assuming that any second serve is automatically easy to return is a pretty simpleton take.

      @@milanvesovic1703 I think US Open 2015 was worse. That was active disrespect for Novak; cheering double faults and screaming when he was about to serve. I've never before seen a crowd behave like animals. At least in Wimbledon 2019 they just groaned when Novak won points (like the passing shot on the second match point and the last point of the match) and only booed him when he argued with the umpire. But still, both crowds were awful

      @@jonathanlow1244 At this point, I think Roger has PTSD every time he has 40-15 match point against Novak in a Grand Slam. When he was up 40-15 during Wimby 2019, I had a creeping feeling that it would happen again. And it did. I really hope Roger breaks the cycle the next time he faces Novak in a grandslam. Miraculously, in 2017, Roger was able to get Nadal out of his head and start beating him in all of their non-clay matches. Nadal hasn't beaten Roger on a non-clay surface since 2014. I was hoping that Roger would be able to do the same to Novak and get Novak out of his head, but it looks like Novak is living there, rent-free. If Roger can put together another magical run at Wimby, beat Novak, and win his 21st slam, it would be truly magical.
