Wimbledon Men's Final - Djokovic V. Federer

[Eve]

Here we go, hoping for a great match between two incredible tennis players.

Anyone want to call for a winner? I don't think I could call this one! I wouldn't mind either winning.

[Eve]

Did anyone hear whether Kyrgios got fined? For not bothering to play for a while, let alone any of his other incidents.

[Eve]

He is (Krygios), so frustrating he can't seem to keep his attitude in check, in the after match interviews as well as on the Court.

I wondered if they would have a word with Putintseva (her of the questionable shorts) after she took out some of her frustrations on the court while playing Williams. That's another one to watch I the future I think. Only 5'4 too!

[Eve]

Wow, what a rally. looks like Djokovic has the first set sewn up on tie break!

[Eve]

And there we go, one set down! Wonder if we will get a five setter!

[ladybirder]

Pure Gold, both of them. Wonderful stuff. Hope it goes to 5 sets just for the joy of watching them.

[jim360]

Ack, there goes the first set.

Telling statistic for you: Federer has already hit as unforced errors in that set as he did in the entire match against Murray.

[jim360]

as many*

[bibblebub]

Does anyone want Djokovic to win?

[Eve]

I'm torn as they are both incredible players and have no strong feelings either way. I had hoped for a Djokovic/Federer final, no offence to Andy Murray. You don't often get to see the two best male tennis players in the world fight it out for this title.

[Eve]

Pressure's on Federer to hold his serve and stay in the second set! Not much between the two of them!

[ichkeria]

Normally I would support Djokovic against Federer but given Federer's performance in the semi final, and the fact that he's becoming a bit of an elder statesman, plus the fact that it would be his 8th title has put me in the Swiss camp for now
I still think Djokovic will win tho (and I thought that even before the first set!)

[ladybirder]

I said on here last week that I didn't mind who won as they are both marvellous tennis players but I ever so slightly wanted Djokovic to win. Does that count bibble?

[bibblebub]

but he's ferret faced whereas Federer has features that could be used as the basis for a cuddly toy

A large percentage of the crowd are in the Federer camp, which isn't surprising. But i am getting a strong hint that Andrew Castle has als nailed his colours to the Federer mast - and he is meant to be impartial. He gets a little over-excited whenever Roger wins a crucial point and, in the 10th games of the 2nd set, he was offering excuses for Federer, saying that he may be suffering from fatigue. Prior to the semi finals, Fed had been on court for 7hrs 50 mins, compared to Djoko's 10hrs 42 mins.

[Eve]

Federer is such a graceful player though, I love watching him.

Such a knife edge for the second set! Some absolutely wonderful volleys, such great tennis!

[Eve]

Oh my goodness! I actually hope Federer gets this set to even things up as they have been so neck and neck! If things carry on it will be such a shame for whoever loses!

[Eve]

Oh...my...word!!!! What a set! Glad it's evened them up! World class tennis!

[ladybirder]

Perhaps we're in for a 5 setter all with tie-breaks. Wow!
Bibble, poor Novak does not look like a ferret at all bless him. I could say Federer's face is like a squashed tomato but I won't;-) They are both very attractive men I think.

[Ken4155]

This is going exactly as i predicted on Cloverjo's Wimbledon post - level pegging and 2 tie-breaks. My bets are looking good at the moment. Had Djokovic won that 2nd set, i honestly believe that Federer's head would have gone.
