Well Nadal loves his top spin forehand and it gives Fed much more trouble than Nole's flatter shots.

I'm going to be sad for Roger if he can't pull off a comeback. This will probably be by far his best chance at adding another major.

There was no way Federer's serve was going to be broken 4 consecutive times to end the match.

Djokovic is choking it away now.

Novak is the biggest choker. He better not lose this.

Novak might quit tennis if he loses this match now. Seriously though, he's going to be a wreck mentally if he can't turn it around.

So pissed I missed the first 3 sets of what appears to be looking like a classic. Definitely gonna try to catch the replay later. One set to grab his 18th, no greater chance than this right here. No tie breaks either.

Feels like Novak might get a break here.

What a match, Roger has to be crushed but Nole gets to keep his sanity.

I'm bummed out. I knew when Federer had that bp in the 5th that if he didn't break Joker then it'd be a matter of time before he'd lose. :(

Really wanted to see him win one more. :cry:

Happy for Novak though. He gets an unfair shake a lot of times.

Great match. I don't care what anyone says. Other than the Roland Garros, Federer still has as good a chance as the best players to win a slam.

Even as Federer fan I was secretly hoping for Novak to win that one after his close losses lately.

Big moment because Novak could grab a bunch now that his Finals swag is back. Easily the hardcourts favorite

djokovic doesn't have a finals problem, he has a problem beating nadal at the slams (because nadal's down-the-line has become unstoppable, and he saves it for the slams) :eek2:

i know djokovic was thrashed by murray last year at wimbledon, but that was because he was too tired after the semi-final (as he no longer has that 2012 ao stamina) :droop:

federer's forehand lacks the venom of past years, mostly due to the racquet change, but that racquet change has given his backhand more control at least :roll:

congrats to djokovic for not giving in to the injury, hope he's ok for the rest of the year, but you can see his body is falling apart in 2014 :ouch:
