@@angeloarisi2979 Are you living in an alternate reality, or did you just turn off the TV with Federer up 8-7, 40-15? Federer lost the 2019 Wimbledon final after choking away those two match points. Federer has lost to Djokovic six straight times in Grand Slams, and like I said his last win against Djokovic in a slam was Wimbledon 2012.
yeah true, he tried it in cinncinati final for first time and beat Novak in it. Should have used in grand slam final instead. Some poor tactical choices costed Federer against Djokovic over the years.
I believe Rog has lost his confidence against Novak. Yes, Novak has improved greatly no doubt. However, Roger used to go into every match knowing full well he was going to win no matter what unless it was against Nadal on clay. There are so many matches against Novak that he should have won and crumbled psychologically. With that being said I think people look past how clutch Roger has been in his career, it has been clouded by him blowing so many opportunities against Novak when it mattered most.
You're right. I don't know any other big rivalry in tennis where one player has so many matches where he has match points and doesn't take them and loses. Literally if he had won a couple of points his whole legacy changes and he's cemented as the goat. Even if he had managed to only win Wimbledon 2019 it would've been so big and such a great achievement. Hard to take for a Federer fan
@@conradruddy2155 Not even a Federer and I've gotta agree. The rivalry is so close in terms of wins, yet only one player has lost so many matches (and crucial ones) from match point positions, even on serve. The Nadal-Federer rivalry is fairly lopsided up until the neo backhand and Nadal's physical decline. The Djokovic - Nadal rivalry seems to be Nadal dominating on clay, Djokovic on hard, and Nadal being having terrible form '15-16, with some very close matches but again, no "40-15" situations for either. Unless you count the break points in the Wimbledon semi, or Nadal's missed backhand up the line in the AO final.
@@bloat1235 just shows that's its hair line margins in these rivalrys. It's as if federer forgot how to get over the line and be composed but ruthless on match points. You could tell by djokovic's post match reaction after the 2019 Wimbledon final that he was genuinely surprised but grateful he won. I think once djokovic beat Federer in a Wimbledon final in 2013 that was a huge swing in the rivalry given how important Wimbledon is for Federer.
That's because Djokovic and Nadal are mentally stronger than Federer. Maybe Roger is the best player of all time but for sure he is not The greatest. I say that respectfully, because he's Roger Federer and I am nobody, but that's my opinion.

This was the final where Fed left all those break points after himself. Fed got nervy. Plays much more relaxed now. And his return game is better, his serve is better, and his backhand is better. Fed is co favourite for the US open in 2018, amazing.
@@FERKILL377 were you watching same clip as the rest of us? Fed was 0/4 on Sabr attacks. Dosen't sound successful on the grand slam stage. Nole's team probably prepared him for it after cinninati. Roger did have chances in that 4th set though.
Thats part of Roger's game, win or lose. But I get what you are saying because Novak's passing shot / lob is too accurate. Look at wimbledon final 2019, Roger came in on the 2nd match point I thin kand got easily passed.
Peak Djokovic, a 20 slam winner, choked and miserably lost in straight sets in a grand slam final on hard court against a zero slam guy almost a decade younger than him...maybe tennis cannot be reduced to who is better than who that easily. Context matters.
What a strange occassion for a GOAT to be suddenly exhausted and suddenly fall off peak after making his 4th GS final in a row. A GS final, a friendly surface, huge crowd backup, a 0-GS opponent, a reputation of being a mental giant, a master absorber of mental stress, a non choker...all of that came to a straight sets loss, a choking of epic proportions, a brutal beatdown, right after being called the GOAT? Something doesn’t add up.
@@tanmaywadhwa211 4 GS finals, 3 GS wins, RG win against Rafa. This is as peak as Djokovic can get. It would have been the single greatest year in tennis history with Calendar grand slam. Cannot get any more peak than that. Instead he lost arguably the most important legacy match in the last 50 years in straight sets to a zero slam winner. Maybe he choked. But then again, Djokovic built his reputation around not choking. So obviously this was very anti-climactic. Like I said, context matters. A GOAT does not whimper to a loss in a slam final in straights to a zero slam winner. But Djokovic did. It’s called being served a dish of humility. Nothing is certain. Even for so called big balls Djokovic. True Djok fans know how devastating and humiliating this looks. He needs to clobber Medvedev the next time they meet.
@@tanmaywadhwa211 Let's not forget Stan Wawrinka beat your so-called peak 2015-2016 Djokovic in not one, but two GS finals, on two different surfaces, clay and hard. Wawrinka is 2-0 against Djokovic the GOAT (in your words peak Djokovic) in slam finals. Before that, he defeated then 3 time AO champ Djokovic in 2014 AO. So, again, it’s not so straightforward. Wawrinka is a 3x GS winner where he slayed peak Djoker every time he won a GS. And he has been a shadow with knee injury since mid 2017. Who knows what would have happened if peak Stanimal was still around? Again, context and perspective matter.
Fed should have won in us open semi 2011, this match (yes it was 4 sets but fed wasted SO MANY break points) and Wimbledon 2019. Would mean fed is on at least 22 slams and Novak 17. Novak’s greater mental strength is why he will end with more slams
I was talking with a Serbian acquaintance, a Djokovic fan, about how we agreed that he didn't know how to handle the pressure in the 2021 US Open final. When I pointed out that Federer has been playing under this pressure for the past decade, he exclaimed tolding that it was true.
If, if, if, Novak also could have won more slams if he had no injuries ever. The reality is he's the goat and will win more slams than any other player in the history of the sport for at least a decade. Roger that!
