It's a shame that such a match ended on a forced error rather than a brilliant stroke as well
I thought Federer was finally showing his age this evening, he looked really tired at one point.

I had to turn off after Djok won, couldn't bear to watch all that crowd rousing stuff he does with his arms.

Re: Wimbeldon....

A brilliant match, it could have gone either way in the last set.

I'm wondering if we will see Federer at Wimbledon again. Todays match took it out of him especially after the excellent 5 set match he had with Nadal a couple of days ago.

Both players deserved to win.

What I find really interesting about the scoring in tennis is that they can play for hours yet still be as equal as when they started.

That's true, it's as if the loser has played 5 hours solid tennis for next to nothing

I know, we said exactly that. Mind you with over a hundred million in prize money, i don't suppose they are too bothered.

Andrew castle said it's not about the money any more but i wonder if they would play Wimbledon for nothing? Just a thought.

Did any one have subtitles on? At one point it said 'Djokovic is looking up at his buttocks thinking why did you do that?'

Re: Wimbeldon....

A long gruelling match well played by both finalists. Can't imagine primadonna footballers playing for such a long time can you?
