This match is gone. Damn it

US Open 2010 and 2011 flashbacks. This is so cruel.

How much drama can I stand.

Holy ****ing ****

Djokovic's got balls of titanium.

 

[vcs]

Gonna be a tough, tough ask for Federer to keep his composure here.

 

[vcs]

Federer is a much, much stronger man than me.

What a fitting time for the first ever 5th set 12-12 tiebreak to decide this.

 

[vcs]

No confidence at all that he can get it done in this tiebreak. Oh well.

 

[vcs]

And the errors start flowing in the tiebreak like clockwork.

I guess Djokovic is some weird sort of Karma for all the heartbreaks Federer dished out to Roddick. The universe getting back at him.

 

[morgieb]

Heartbreak. Federer wins that his Slam record is out of reach. Djokovic just too clutch.

 

[StephenZA]

Federer had his chances. Well done Novak. Fantastic match.

 

[vcs]

I'm going to cry.

 

[vcs]

Federer had it in the palm of his hand. This is going to be tough to get over.

 

[vcs]

Two absolute champs.. can't be too downcast.

 

[Anil]

it's a terrible day...both federer and new zealand lose nailbiters...

A bit of a nothing personal aside. But we were talking about the final finishing a couple of hours before the Cricket World Cup Final and I said no because it’ll be a final set tie break. Not a prediction at all. I expected Novak in a fairly routine 4 sets.

The number of epic matches Wimbledon has seen over the last decade is astonishingly good. Federer-Nadal trilogy, Federer-Roddick, Nadal-Djokovic semi last year, and now this. Tennis will miss these three guys so much.

Thank god Federer lost
