Federer massive balls there...

Both literally and metaphorically!

Djokovic usual tightness vs Federer just showed up, but i believe 5th set is his.

Brilliant Tennis this!!

What a couple of days for the sports fan.

Head to head in 5 setters

Djokovic beat Federer twice in US Open

2010: 5-7 6-1 5-7 6-2 7-5

2011: 6-7 4-6 6-3 6-2 7-5

Fuck.

Gutted for Federer, but bow down that was magnificent final from both men.

[Ankit 3,176]

One hell of a match.

That was almost at the level of 'Trial by combat'.

Federer's last realistic chance for another grand slam

If I had a penny for every time I heard that in the past few years...

Nola

A fantastic game. What a comeback from Federer when he was 5-2 down and one fifteen from losing it. Hats off, both guys are extremely likeable and it was kind of unfair one of them had to be on the losing side.

I only make a point of watching Wimbledon every year and that's it as far as tennis is concerned, but every year it leaves we in pure amazement at just how fit and athletic these people are.

Well done Novak, and amazing, amazing achievement.

Well, no words for Federer really. His desire after all those years is absolutely breathtaking. The 4th set was a prime example of that, whoever you are you simply can't do nothing about it when that shows up. Just timeless.

Credit to Djokovic, he was patient, had a clear gameplan and executed it brilliantly (well almost, it's very difficult vs Federer @ Wimbledon). You just have to love this character. Well worth trophy and No.1 place Nole
