I think you're forgetting how good Djokovic and Murray have been over the last couple years.




Yes, and part of that has been how down or out Nadal has been. If Nadal is playing at a high level again, he is just on a different level than those two.

5Dimes has Joker OR Murray to win the title at -269. I would think only injuries or god-mode Stan could prevent that from happening.

I'm gonna try to blame it on the new balls and court surface, but this is an early contender for fail prediction of the year.

oh I almost rage quit when he got broke to open the 5th - but I didn't and fed found it when he needed it most.

they both played great but I'm so happy for Roger that he got this one. he's been so close and lost I wanted him to get that last slam he earned it. living legend.

he let a few chances allude him and opportunities after this win will be increasingly rare - he could win a couple more who knows but this one has to be satisfying.

Fed with 14 BH winners off the ground to Rafa's 3 - Wow! so much for the old paradigm between these two. 73 to 35 for Fed overall on the winners. Can't wait to see rally length stats.

Glad to see Federer win again. My favorite tennis player ever. Also glad to see Nadal healthy and playing great again. He'll dominate the French Open if he plays like that.

Anyone think Rafa likes losing to Fed way more than Djok

It was great to see those two war horses go at it...could be the last time in the finals of a major?

Kinda like Ali/Frazier the Thrilla in Manila.
