Wimbledon Mens Final - Where it ends all
First topic message reminder :
Awesome match and a fitting climax for a tournament full of upsets, its Wimbledon Final come Sunday and it will be contested by 7 time Champion Roger Federer and the No.1 Seed Novak Djokovic.
Federer
Key Strengths - Experience , Grass court movements, Serve and finally anticipation.
A-Game - Serve, volley, aggression, grass court movements, big forehands [all], backhand slices, topspins and flatout shots DTL and experience in handling points and holding nerves.
Weakness - Lack of Stamina to play a longer 5 set game [compared to his prime], Mid match focus lapse, Loops balls on backhands, slow 2nd servers [off late a big problem].
Crowd Support - Big time on, will be undoubtedly the crowd favorite , 80-20 should be expected.
Historical Achievement - First ever Men's Champion of all time [Yes all time] to win 8 Wimbledon titles. 18 Grand Slams.
Djokovic
Key Strengths - Return, movement, stamina, Backhand [all], Big points play.
A-Game - Backhand [all], Forehand [all], Super Serbian Serves, Rebound Aces [Returns], Pace Variance [Slow and Fast Mix], passing shots, lobs, slices, top spins, volleys, drop shots.
Weakness - Grass court movements, lack of confidence, mid match focus lapse pressure to perform and Lack of Crowd Support
Crowd Support - Generally loves to play against the crowd, it won't be different tomorrow, 20% plus support should be expected.
Historical Achievement - Multiple Wimbledon Winner, World No. Status
H2H
In General - Federer 16-14
@Wimbledon - Federer 1-0
@GS Finals - Federer 1-0
@GS - Federer 6-5
@All Finals Djoko 5-4
Wimbledon 2014 Stats
Djoko vs Fed
Aces - 73 vs 69
DF - 9 vs 5
1st Serve in 68 vs 66
Server Broken 8 vs 1
Service Held - 93% vs 98%
Forehand Winners 53 vs 56
Backhand Winner 55 vs 31
Time on Court 15:09 vs 10:16
Prediction: Djoko is more or less determined and I guess destined to win his 2nd Wimbledon given his age , stamina and experienced coach Becker.

Fed just keep your serve. Djoko will choke his serve eventually.

Important hold under pressure with Fed's forehand looking good at the moment. Good play from Djoko.

Can't help wondering whether we will be watching Novak fighting out a fifth set Slam Final a few weeks short of his 33rd birthday ......

Re: Wimbledon Mens Final - Where it ends all
this "just keep holding" I am not sure about. You have got to pounce and break as soon as you can. I can't see this going 10-8 or 12-10

Roger might have missed his opportunity. It'll get harder to serve now. Every game he is serving to stay in it

Djoko wins. He stood it better then Fed. Credit to him.
Fed fought nicely, but not good enugh.

Re: Wimbledon Mens Final - Where it ends all
Well done Nole. He was the better player for most of the match, so cannot complain too much. Fed was playing a bit too passive for my taste but I suppose playing more aggressively carries its risks with it too.

Gutted. Well done Novak, he edges closer onto the greats list. Unbelievable come back in the 4th by Fed but not enough

My brain just melted.
Actually it melted about an hour ago and now is becoming vapour.

It was close which I guess makes it harder to swallow but credit to Novak, he got the job done whereas Federer buckled

On the balance of play you have to say Djokovic was the better player. His abysmal run in the Slams is over.

Re: Wimbledon Mens Final - Where it ends all
Well done Djokovic, made a right meal of it, and would be relieved he didn't have to serve for it.

Yet again, Nole's returning was fantastic. So many times he returned great serves right back at Fed's feet.

Re: Wimbledon Mens Final - Where it ends all
Yes, right from set 1, miracle Rog won set 1 the way Nole came our returning. I thought Novak would win the match from the second game (his first returning game), but Roger kept it really interesting by winning the firset set.

Would love to see Federer go on to the US Open and win it.

Re: Wimbledon Mens Final - Where it ends all
Great match, Fed a bit unlucky , to be frank I didn't want neither of them to lose but one of them have to be unlucky and it turned out to be Fed.
A more like a repeat of 2008, a great fight back but a tragic end.
Well Played Novak, congrats to him and his fans.

I would love that too but after today I am less optimistic than ever about his chances of winning another slam.legendkillarV2 wrote:Would love to see Federer go on to the US Open and win it.
This was all set up so nicely for him. He had no difficult matches coming in and only had to play one player out of big 4 - Nole on grass no less. Yet he came away with a loss. When is he going to win if not today?

Yup I tend to agree.
But still great to see him play so let's hope he doesn't hang the racquet up just yet.

Hopefully he will get a touch of draw. I feel it would be his last chance of one last slam.
Federer had chances in that 5th and lost it which was a shame

Close contest on all counts ......
Winners Novak 68 Roger 75
U/E's 27 29
Total points 186 180
Djoko got through with one exceptional pass after another, and the Fed serve wavered just when he needed it most.
Great match.
Well done Novak
