OT: Wimbledon

Roger Federer is one of the few great players left who has a one handed backhand. He can hit it with power and topspin but as you mentioned also can slice it. That's a huge advantage for him on grass. It's also the reason he's the greatest player of all time. It's no coincidence that the two handed backhand has grown in popularity while at the same time the number of grass courts worldwide has fallen off a cliff. Of the men's top 20 only about 6 or 7 play with a one handed backhand, on the women's side I think it's almost extinct.

My prediction for tomorrow is five sets. I will say that Joker does also have an advantage in that the center court now is so beat up it plays more like clay which helps his game.

Djokovic has an advantage because he's better than Federer.

When Federer was in his prime Djokovic couldn't touch him. After about 2011 when Federer started slowing down was when Djokovic started winning. Lifetime they are 25-22 in favor of Djokovic, but in 2011 Federer was 13-6 vs Djoker. Djoker is 32, Federer is 37, might not seem like a big difference but in tennis it's light years.
 
Djokivic takes the 1st set in tie breaker 7-6 (7-5). Federer had his chances. Djokovic is not serving as elite as he can.
 
Second to Fed 6-1, about to grab a coffee and settle in here. This should be fun.



Anyone else see Djoker wobbling a bit? Fed looks in control

Reminds me of when Nadal took the 2nd set 6-1. Djokovic will rebound
 
And just like that:

Fed looking pretty damned good for 38 breaking Joker's serve there.
 
Look I know this is a #hottake but Federer is like really good at tennis
 
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? Why aren't Serena and Billie Jean fighting for women's equality? Stop letting the man keep you down and demand 5 set matches!
 
It's been a well played match. Amazing how much better Federer looks and plays at his age compared to Serena looking yesterday.

How did someone as old and ignorant as you figure how to use a computer?

No one here cares about your opinion or “thoughts”

Thought Fed was losing it when Joker broke him, but guess not. This next 40-50 minutes is gonna be fun.

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!
 
Just really amazing we’ve gotten to watch these guys for so long

Both today and in life

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
