Aaaaaaah can't believe he missed that.
 
 
And Djokovic fist-pumping the unforced error.

 

[BigMike]

That overhead miss may haunt his dreams

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Looks over, which means Roger will rebound and take the momentum.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh, that really sucks.

 

[bosox188]

Damn.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

That overhead miss may haunt his dreams

And if Federer loses, what are we witnessing from Novak?

A great player who beat another great player.

Can't believe Federer lost on his serve. Tough way to go out for him.

Can't believe Federer lost on his serve. Tough way to go out for him.

at that point, with no tiebreaks in the fifth set in Wimbledon, it's the only way he could lose.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

wow Djoker why do you have to be so gracious and likeable.

Serious or sarcastic? I'm not watching.

I'm usually anti-Federer, but this got to me (credit to Twitter):

It's too bad hittery had no interest in that matchup.

It's too bad hittery had no interest in that matchup.

Jim Parsons wasn't in the stands for this one. That was the reason, right?

Great final toady between two great competitors. This ranks 3rd on my all time Wimbledon finals in my lifetime.
 
#1 Nadal-Federer in 2008 with Nadal winning 9-7 in the 5th set
#2 Federer-Roddick in 2009 with Federer winning 16-14 in the 5th set
#3 This years final

 

[hittery]

Oh, once I heard that the love of my life was going to be there, I had to watch. Stefan was sending me these obvious gestures of an intimate nature. I hope his wife didn't see it. And does anyone have Boris Becker's mailing address? I need to send him some sunscreen

You should try to get a copy of the 1990 final. Maybe on VHS somewhere.
 
Best tennis match (on an aesthetic level) I have ever seen.
 
Reminded of it today.

Man this era of tennis with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic has been fantastic. All 3 are all time greats in the game. I was looking at some stats for each in the major final.
 
Of Federer's 17 Grand Slam wins only 4 were against all time greats, (2005 US Open vs Agassi, 2006 & 2007 Wimbledon againt Nadal & 2007 US Open against Djovoki)
Of Nadal's 14 Grand Slam wins 10 came against all time greats (6 against Federer and 4 against Djovokic though 60% of them were at Roland Garros)
Of Djovokic's 7 Grand Slam wins 4 came against all time greats (3 vs. Nadal 2011 Wimbledon, 2011 US Open, 2012 Aussie Open & 2014 Wimbledon vs Federer)
 
 
I would have loved to see all 3 of them in their primes together as Federer already had 6 majors to Nadal's 1 after 2005 and Djovokic didn't start to break through until 2007.
