Fantastic final, shame it had to go to a tie break. I'd love to have seen how long it lasted if it had just carried on.

 

[FootballFan]

Federer bottled it when serving with 2 championship points in retrospect, tough to take that.

 

[LondonMackem]

f***ing shite.

 

[gazc24]

Best player ever lost .

Sorted for you.

Hope he gets booed

 

[scotch]

Gutted

 

[LondonMackem]

Best player ever.

Who Federer? I agree.

Once he’s retired he’ll have the most slams and regarded as the greatest ever.

 

[The Bridge Lad]

Gutted. Massive difference between 21-15 to 20-16, Novak will likely have caught up by Aussie Open 2021.

I want to believe that but Djokovic's shot at 40-30 was unreal, just wish Federer had managed to find an ace

 

[billybobmackem2312]

Who Federer? I agree.

Nope

 

[LondonMackem]

Nope

Well you’re wrong then.

Well you’re wrong then.

You’re entitled to your incorrect opinion.

 

[LondonMackem]

You’re entitled to your incorrect opinion.

If you had said Novak has the potential to be the best ever then you’d be correct. To say that currently is blasphemous.

 

[The Bridge Lad]

Can't really blame him obviously, but he's determined to make a point not to acknowledge the crowd.

 

[PulseSafc]

You’re entitled to your incorrect opinion.

Except at the minute it's not an opinion, it's a fact;
Roger Federer has the most grand slams ever and second most amount of singles titles; has held the world No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings for a record total of 310 weeks, including a record 237 consecutive weeks.
Has been in the most finals, semis and quarters. In an era with Novak and Nadal

Easily the best player ever

He’s also 6 years older than Novak.
Novak has recorded the greatest season of tennis ever played, beats nadal regularly on clay (not at Rolland garros admittedly)
Smashes federer on grass, quite obviously going to end up with the most grand slams of all time. The greatest returner and backhand of all time, and well respected people in the game believe he actually is the best.
If they were all on top of their game, Novak would come out on top.

 

[gazc24]

Novak and Billy sitting in a tree

 

[billybobmackem2312]

Fuckin federer love in on here
He got beat by the better player ffs deal with it

Don’t bring cold hard facts in to this!

Novak has beat Federer more times than lost, damn facts!

So Novak has the potential to be the best? Ok thanks for clearing that up mate.
