Federer keeps getting himself out of trouble. Djokovic has played some excellent points in this set to his credit.
I'm with Duafc on this. Would love to see Federer win for at least one more time here.
Wow. The quality is absurd. Going back to the debate we were having earlier, Kvitova is going the get the same prize money as one of these guys. 
What a miss.
What a miss there by Fed!
He can be into his fashion as much as he likes, I'd just prefer it to have a bit more humility!
Exactly how I feel. Nadal may be the best athlete on the history of tennis, but Federer had a superior technique. Also, Fed was the master of all courts, Nadal was more specialized on court. Still fantastic players and both will go in history as the best ever players.

Ridiculous.

Small solace: In 50 years, nobody will know who Kvitova is.

Yeah - I get where Raoul is coming from and it doesn't bother me, but it seems a bit of a PC decision than an objective one.
I'm not sure if 9 wins on clay is any worse than 7 wins on grass. Not to mention that Nadal was the first to beat Federer on every surface before the other way round (which I'm still not sure has ever happened; I don't think Federer has ever been Rafa on clay).

And what isn't humble about engraving your own initials in gold on everything available!!?!?!
I don't know why they don't just make women play 5 sets. Surely in this era there's no doubt that female athletes are physically capable of playing for longer and tbf to the women's tennis, how many 'classics' can you really get over 3 sets? Pretty much all the great men's games have been 5 setters.
Novak won that point after falling over! Incredible! He's right back in this, if not the favourite again.
9 out of 14 (64%) compared to 7 out of 17 (41%) is a big difference IMO.
I think he's beaten him a couple of times, but not in the French Open and Nadal's obviously dominated him on clay.
Tbf, women's tennis is shit.
This is it!
Nadal has two wimbledon titles and his dominance on clay isn't that different to Federer's dominance on grass.
Actually the trend is to eliminate the 3 out of 5 format from the men's side, mainly to avoid injuries and prolong careers.
Ya, I actually agree with that. It's quite refreshing to see in modern sports with such global superstars.
noooooowtf is happening?
Big big chance that, what a miss.
What are you doing, Roger?!
No first serve... I fear the worst.
Not in a grandslam. He has beaten him on clay though.
Think Feds legs are gone a bit, footwork is bad atm.
That was a huge forehand to Fed's backhand there.
Two championship points!
It's the hope that kills you.
This is it, isn't it?
Shame.
This is it, isn't it?
And Djokovic wins. Happy for him, needed that. Great final.
Well that de-escalated quickly!
Congrats to them both.
Congrats to them both.
Federer bottles it at the end. Six unforced errors in a row. That match really ended with a whimper.
So glad the "injury" didn't bother him...
So fecking gutted. feck this day. feck tennis. I'll drown myself in alcohol now.
