With all the chicks fighting for being treated "equal" why do they let men play 5 set matches and settle for just best of 3. Do they want to be equal or not?
How did someone as old and ignorant as you figure how to use a computer? No one here cares about your opinion or “thoughts”
After recently watching the boring Billy Riggs v Billy Jean King movie, the initial 1973ish observation and the millennial’s reactionary response provide equal comic relief during an entertaining 5-set final.

Just here to break the tension

Did not know Wimbledon has moves to a 12 game 5th set before a tie beaker is invoked. Wow.

Looks like this one is only going nine.

... or maybe not!

We’re getting close to talking about this as one of the great matches ever...

Federer may lose by winning 6 games in each of the first four sets and at least 8 games in the fifth. He will have won a minimum of 32 games in a five set match and could still lose.

Federer choked away 2 championship points. If he loses, this will go down as one of the worst heart breaks ever.

I’m dying at Roger. Two championship points on your racquet and get broken. Need to rally here somehow

Some of these shots these guys are hitting, with everything on the line, are just impossible to comprehend

Djokovic may lose by winning 7 games in two different sets and 11 in the final set.

Yes, the numbers are getting goofy.

What about Fed? Can you imagine losing despite having won 6 or more games in 5 sets? Impossible.

Yes, I can and did imagine that scenario.

Basically a triple match point for Fed to overcome.

Djokovic wins. Fantastic match, Probably the best ever considering all the factors. Still, I wish Federer took more chances in the tie breakers.
