One of the most level headed, straight forward, funny guys on the tour off the court. I like how he never shy away from speaking his mind, in a gracious way. Tennis could use more personalities like him instead of typical, 'nice guy' bland personalities who speak what they are told to speak.
Novak is a very nice guy, people under estimate that. My favorite player, he's a great guy, likes his fellow players. Press sometimes puts him in a dark light. He likes Rafa&Roger...
Kenny Sikes Only a Djokovicz fanatic can call him nice! The press cannot put a nice person into 'a dark light' whatever that means. He certainly does not like RF or RN, but he sucks up to RF hoping some of RF aura might rub on to him.
I dont get the hate he gets from the press and spectators... I think he was the new kid who came out of nowhere and dominated the game beating the two favorites
News, magazines, quoting him not in person- 'I don't like Roger,', 'I don't like RafaI '' I don't like Andy', let me rephrase, the press speaks for him, he doesn't dislike these players, if you read it, believe, it's-not nice if he's saying these things, he's been asked, and doesn't agree with the print. He has a high level of respect for his rivals.. as one has commented, he's been a major force to break up a different result on who will be in the final, backing it with winning the grandslam., lifting the trophy. All I know is none of them are great losers, including Djokovic, but none have acted up the way Federer did after he lost the match to Anderson.. The temper tantrum Federer had when he reached the building after Anderson, was uncalled for, directly from the commentators that he screamed at each individual to get away from him, which was everyone connected to Roger. Federer is the great/the legend-, play until your 50; accept the loses and move on.. Is it true? I wasn't there, but it made me disappointed in him, if was.. Good example that you can and have a right to think what you want, but it made me disappointed to hear that.. if you put out negative about any of these players, it puts a bad taste in any tennis fan. Yes I am a Djokovic fan, as I was Jankovic, when she was playing. But I can see out of the box, with Nadal, if he wins Wimbledon that is only 2 behind Federer that pushes them both to keep going it would be a sad day when they leave their careeers. Nadal has one thing on Federer if he's playing and focused he can on any surface at any given tournament, Federer cannot.. He has his French Open not against Nadal, knows not only is clay hard on his body, he's likely to loose, before he gets to the final, which Rafa would be waiting. Tennis players all get good and bad press, at the end of the day, obviously there human and will get the good and the bad. I'm saying Djokovic gets a lot of bad press that's not true, so does the rest at times. Serena Williams would of quit along time ago if she allowed her haters to push her down. At the end of the day I would love to see John Isner and Serena Williams lift the Wimbledon trophies 🇱🇷🎾🇱🇷..if not, then I'll enjoy Djokovic play until he wins or loses. Serbians aren't hard on the eyes, both men and woman.. as a tennis fan I just know during interviews or free speech, Djokovic is just as nice as the other, none of them are perfect-he hasn't scared security and his team after losing a match once it's over and he returns to the building, if he is a bad guy, he at least knows how to loose.. To be a winner, you have to be a better loser.....let's see who lifts the trophy,hmmmm🎾
He gets this hate because majority of fans around the world had already chose Roger and Rafa as their favorites, but when Novak started beating them both since 2011, he automatically became a villain to those millions of people while also gaining more fans himself. Even the press, media paint him as a 'bad' guy because he apparently, Roger and Rafa bring them more money.
Yeah Novak is a class act and a legend in his own right. It's sad to hear that the media is actually tarnishing his reputation but it makes sense, he can't bring in more money than Rafa or Federer and the media knows that there has to be a villain, otherwise there's no drama.
The reason why Serena has been dominating women's tennis over the years is because of her physical superiority over the other female players. For me she's more man than woman. She doesn't deserve being called the Goat.
Benedikt Schwarting yeah yeah...no tallent at all! ur totaly right.. that's your opinion and it totaly sucks and is disrepectful too..there are more wel trained and very strong wimen in the wta but they can't do what she does because they don't have the talent to perform on that high level..must be hard to admit for you..but she is..wake up man
italkcrab Djoko vs Nadal Australian open.. 5 hours game? I say this is the best game ever between the two most dominant players in recent years (look back a few years..). Because both Novak and Rafa played their heart out until their bodies just couldn't anymore, and also great tennis on top of it..
Greatness is displayed through humility.Djokovic might not yet have as many Grand slam title as Federer and Rafa but individually he is better than any player that has played this game,his mental capacity is far stronger than that of even the navy seals. But acknowledging that Federer has achieved more than anybody else is a fact that can’t be denied .Make no mistake about it,this admission doesn’t take anything away from him.
you can tell from the interview he's had this year, he's matured quite a bit from 2,3 years ago, it was a long adjustment period in his life and i hope he's found the new balance now and get back to that top 2 form
To hear from Djokovic that Federer is the greatest ever dissapoints me. A champion like Novak should have the confidence and the self belief that he is better than Federer. He has beaten him so many times and he is on the GOAT rce too , just missed 1 year
He is nowhere near him when he have won him so many times in GS finals? and etc in all the head to head. Dont forget that Federer played for years and won many slams before Djokovic. The weak era you know. Djokovic in his prime is better than Federer and Nadal too. He is the most complete player of all time without a doubt. I dont say that he is the greatest. I believe too that Rafa and Roger are top , but Djokovic should consider himself better than them because he proved that he can dominate with them in the same era.
+Vasilis Kar 20 grand slams to 12. Can't consider yourself greater when you're that far behind where it matters most. I don't know why you even bother arguing when Novak himself agrees with me!!
Vasilis Kar he is just more humble an individual than you are. Maybe that's why he made it so far up in life. He let's his racket do the talking. And constantly seeking superiority or inferiority in every situation is quite an insecure notion. Enjoy great tennis and great tennis players. Everything and everyone is unique in there own light. I'd think that's obvious.
I’m a huge Fed fan and I’m sad he’s out but I’m absolutely relishing this clash of Rafa vs Novak on Friday, damn that going to be 🔥 like the old days, i’ll make sure not to miss it
Roger lost the match because he mishit a backhand at match point in the third set at 6-5. Then on, it was 2013 Federer. In 20 years of Federer there are many kinds of Federer: 2007 Federer (Sublime shot making) 2013 Federer (Bad Federer) 2017 Federer (Clutch NEW Federer)
Sammy Al Hashemi After seeing Anderson last night, that Federer mishit backhand helped produced what I think will be "An unbeatable Anderson" coming into the final. Anderson got 2 sets to love against an unbeatable Djokovic in 2015 Wimbledon.
BADDAZZ GARAGE RF did not blame the court 1 during the press conference he said its just one of those bad days and he praised Anderson for sticking around and got what he wanted.
Jacki BuenApp i no i never said roger said it joka did! And i said roger wouldnt want others saying it like joka did!! I think you miss red my comments! If you re read my words you will see what i said!😎😊
good that we can all say what we want and share our opinions.. silly asses like you are annoying, joker can say what he want, wether federer agrees or disagrees with it.. also it IS a different mental approach, that's all joker said.. of course roger won't talk that this affected him, it would be silly and people would think hes making excuses
i just said that we wouldnt openly talk about it as an excuse but that it still affects him in a mental way.. i understand, your iq is low and english is hard, good luck in life
Backheet Aljedhi Even if Novak beats Rafa I don't care at all! It's even clearer in my mind that Federer is only overrated, he's even not the king of grass, Sampras is. I couldn't be more happier to see that ''weak era'' goat already eliminated by an oponnent Rafa has beaten in straight set at the last USO, while ''the only clay player'' is in SF in his favorite tournament hahahahaha, you can't laugh more than I am right now! After Wimbledon Rafa will have 2000 points more than Fed in the ranking which means he will finish world #1 AGAIN and will have more week #1, that's only what is matter right now. RAFA IS THE GOAT
Djokovic is the man of tennis. sure, Federer is classy.. as long as things go mostly his way. Nadal is nice.. but breaks now and then, Djokovic has a bad past with negative reputation.. but people change and we don't know what was really going on. Djokovic has been the nicest, classiest and most empathetic guy for years... win or lose, he is honest and doesn't take anything away from his oponents.. even against Kyle, he said that Kyle couldn't know if the ball bounced twice etc.. blabla. Kyle got the point even though the ball bounced twice, he threw the racket and also ran into the net.. people are always against djokovic for some reason, but djoko had nothing but praise for Kyle in the interview afterward.. could've ripped him, because everyone and even Kyle himself (bodylanguage etc) knows the truth.. anyway. enjoy the match tomorrow and hopefully novak can pull it off.. even though nadal looks a bit better (comparing their performance in the last match), I believe djokovic will step it up.. he always did when he really needed it, mostly*, not always!
Piyush wont make make him better than Federer. He never had any era of himself. He had only clay era of himself tbh. Novak Djokovic and Federer, these 2 guys indeed had their proper eras.
Djokovic played on Centre Court because Federer was hogging the damn Centre Court the entire tournament while Djokovic finally got his first match there. Djokovic played Nishikori, Fed played Anderson. On paper the Djoko/Nishi match is better. Now that Fed choked and lost to Anderson after being 2 sets up is not the fault of the court rofl. I know Fed fans want to use every excuse in the book but Federer was mostly a serve bot today and still almost won because of his great serve. If Fed had a serve like Nadal or Djokovic he would have never been the GOAT.
Marcia Williams....Federer hadn't played off Centre Court since 2015. You sound petty and ridiculous. Novak wanted to play his match on Centre Court and he had the more intriguing match so he got it. It's not Novak's fault Roger lost since Novak had to play Kevin Anderson Court 1 in 2015 and barely won that one. Stop whining. Roger should have ended that match in straight sets but he messes up and caused his own loss.
Jackson Greene RF is the defending champ, 8-time champ and no.1 seed. Enough reasons to put him on CC all the time. What's wrong with Novak is the fact that in every single tournament, he always have something to complain about. Now that is PETTY!
The 2003-2006 Weak Era Power Vacuum: The Period of Federer's Greatest Dominance Was Essentially Devoid Of Great/Consistent Competitors.An example of Federer's power vacuum luck: on his way to winning the 2006 AO, Federer faced ZERO players who had ever even been in a GS finale, let alone won it. In other words,all 7 of his opponents were players who never in their careers won a slam, nor ever previously reached a slam finale! By comparison, Nadal and Djokovic never won a GS title without beating at least one past/future slam champion.Federer’s decline in terms of slam titles won coincides with the emergence of Nadal and Djokovic. Federer was only 26 when Rafa and Novak started making him look un-GOAT-like, which destroys the fallacious argument that only age has prevented him from competing as well as he once did.Furthermore, look at several of Federer's early slam finale opponents' rankings: 2003 Wimbledon: 3-0 vs. Philippoussis, ranked 48. 2004 Aussie Open: 3-0 vs. Safin, ranked 86. 2006 Aussie Open: 3-1 vs. Baghdatis, ranked 54. Are these the kinds of low ranked, unseeded players Nadal, Djokovic and Murray had a chance at crushing in slam finales? More concrete proofthat 2003-2006 was undoubtedly a very weak era - especially compared to the strong Big 4 Era tha came right after it, when suddenly Federer found it much more difficult to accumulate slams. NOT due to his rising age, because already from the age of 27 onwards Roger could no longer beat Nadal and Djokovic in any slam finales.More numbers that Federer fans don't want to know about -Average Rankings of Slam Finale Opponents: 10.8 is the average ranking ofFederer's slam finale opponents 4.5 is the average ranking ofDjokovic's slam finale opponents 4.4 is the average ranking ofNadal's slam finale opponents 2.0 is the average ranking ofMurray's slam finale opponents Analyzing all these numbers, does this mean Federer wasluckier? Of course it does; certainly much luckier than Murray. Roger's very high 26% and 10.8 are directly related to the fact that he thrived in the fairly weak POWER VACUUM2003-2007 era when the top 5 kept changing all the timebecause most of them were not consistent threats, not players of the highest caliber.
Chris71319 whatever. Pete closed out points by coming to the net. Best serve ever, best running forehand, best slam dunker, and better than Fed at the net.
In sport altho the sportsmen compete against another. The real challenge is challenging yourself within. That always made sense to know that. It was nice to hear that from Djorkovic
Great to see Joker back on his game! I hope the Semi is as good as the quarter w del potro Off topic I think as Fedfans ...Federer gave us everything we ever dreamed in 2017!The greatest year in men's tennis! He crushed everybody with that beauty of a backhand ,so i know he can't win them all but I'll enjoy watching him until the day he retires.Good for Anderson. Thumbs up for Djokovic acknowledging Fed as the GOAT!
I'm Fed's fan but I wasn't shocked that he lost. His form this year hasn't been good since AO 18 final. He goes into God Mode in the first set but the level drops quickly after that.
Djokovic is probably unhappy he isn’t playing Federer coz he would have battered Federer as usual. Djokovic is the greatest tennis player that’s ever lived.
interesting finally to hear Novak acknowledging that Federer is the greatest of all time properly after saw how hard to come from knee surgery and be as great as ever been on tour for Roger Federer, while he struggled just to get the confidence be in the tour for more than a year 👍. but I happy for Novak he is back nearly there to his best match by match is good for tennis hopefully Andy too ! RF fan for ever 😊.
Nole, it's good to see you back going deep into tournaments. Now don't let Rafa win. I only say that b/c you sometimes give him the match RG two years was an example --however we all grow over time and seeing change in you (as well as Serena) it's interesting (to see if you'll come in even more grounded- stay out of your head PERIOD, it's the mechanical only then just drop into the heart only- and grind! ---- | and it's touching - how nice you give Roger support and credit ---- lending that understanding of the Champion to Champion for the viewer - that court 1 comment was something that only a player would know and it was interesting. Go on and Take Wimby Nole - Rafa is extremely great in his own right but he's not a better player at the end of the day you need to take that. xx Nice to see you and Jelena on her bday too. xx
Federer was so nervous late in his match it was CRIPPLING the way he hit the ball....Seen him get that nervous MANY times...He gets so nervous he cant even hit a routine groundstroke...Starts hitting the ball SOOOO SOFT and right in the middle..Felt bas watching him choke that badly..
Novak is back definitively and finally so. He got back that animal eye of looking forward the match! I wih he could climb his best against Rafa who is figuring as the best player into this tournament. Good luck Novak I hope U go on!
PhillyPhan and the fact that fed won just 1 grandslam during age 27 to 35... Fedtards.. Using same excuse every time... And when he wins he can do at the age of 36.. great player... Great logic.. Aye??
Anyone saying that playing on court 1 was a factor in federer losing is looking for excuses, the court doesn't cause you to lose from 2 sets up. Federer's forehand broke down as the match went, with him only managing short spells of consistency on one of his most important shots. The signs were there in his previous matches, but his great serving covered up the inconsistency on his forehand. In the previous matches his forehand wasn't bad but it wasn't the same as it normally is. Anderson began to make more aggressive shots as the match progressed, and when federer needed his forehand the most he couldn't find it. It happens to everyone, normally players like federer get through those matches, but when someone is striking the ball like anderson was in the second half of the match, you need to be able to rely on your strengths, for federer those strengths are his serve and forehand, one them let him down and he lost the match. The result would have been the same on any court, anderson's weapons began firing at full potential while federer's weapons failed him on the day.
Federer would of won comfortably if the match was on centre court, Federer choked on court 1 was too nervous for some reason. Still think Federer will likely win US open as he is due another title there and will give him extra motivation to come back stronger even though he will be 37.
Playing on the central court or on the court 1 should be the same for the player lilke Fedex is....That is not the main reason. You forgot Anderson, too....
ewerything is for prestige..when novak was on first place, Uk wanted novak to change SRB for GBR. And than started atack on Novak.. i rly not understood ppl. how they not c that. novak lead in fight against fedex and rafa . but eurosport and MR. Willander try make worse Novak success. Just cus Novak didnt wont change the coat of arms. Still rich think ewerything can buy for money ;)
Rafa will beat Novak on Friday, Rafa wants it more. If you watched the match today against Delpo, Rafa was in trouble getting pummeled down 2 sets to 1. What happened? Vintage Rafa baby! He used all his skills, physical chess. Drop shot, serve and volley! Rafa serve and volleying???? And he won something like 36/45 points at net, What ever it takes baby! He’s going to do what ever it takes to beat Novak too. He will die to win Wimbledon again.
You do realize that match was pretty much 5 hours so physically how will he hold up against a fresher in form Djoker. Novak wants it badly too so I think Novak wins in 4 sets
I don't think want is going to be a question at all on Friday. They both want it just as bad. Rafa hasn't won here in 8 years and Novak hasn't won any major at all in 2 years. For Novak, a win rights the ship and gets him on the course to challenging for a slam and potentially #1 again. For Nadal a win puts him in position to be the closest hes ever been to Roger in slam count since 2-0. Its just going to come down to who executes better.
Gold Wolf raffa for ever baby! Yes roger is probably the best ever but raff aint to far behind and he is way more exciting to watch! The effort in every shot is just sports music baby!!! Cmon raffa pull those jocks out of your ass and kick some ass baby!!😀😁😂🤣😃😅!
Daz Im he's probably disappointed that he won't get to play Federer, to be honest. Champions are not afraid of playing other champions. Only cowards want easy opponents and Novak is no coward.
Pretty sure he's relieved that Roger is gone now. He's lucky that Wimbledon put Roger at court 1 instead of Centre court....Novak should buy those guys at Wimbledon a few pints of Guinness.
Francis Ng Djokovic has played better than Federer has in this tournament against tougher opponents. I bet he is pretty confident he can beat Nadal and would have been just as confident he can beat Roger.
To day any body can be defeated at any time on any court . Stronger you are the more you wins. To day it is a power game without grace and talent.Federer can be easily beatable and too in less competitive circuit and that is what Anderson did it. Isner should have thrashed everybody in every match if he has serve and volley game. They have only service and power. They are too tall and sluggish in their movements. Now when sampras played he also faced giant killer like Goran Ivanosvich, Gred Rusedski, Philipouses, Mark Rosset, Richard Krachichejk who are all served 135 mph and above.But Sampras beat them all with graceful serve and volley and base line strokes. But Richrd Krachiejk could beat sampras because he too is an excellent serve and volley player. Tommy Haas is much superior in strokes than Federer but he played gracefully and style but with less power and serve and volley. If you drag beyond five sets then anybody can be beaten. That is what the tennis history .Now let us see the match between Jokovich and Anderson , you see sheer power without grace in 5 hrs or 10 hrs.
NAS NOVAK JE JEDAN JEDINI I VISE SE TAKAV NERADJA.OBOZAVAM TE NOLEEEE IDEMO DALJE PO NOVE POBEDE I REKORDEEEEE!!!!!! NEK SI ZIV I ZDRAV JOS GODINA STOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Say Scotland Yard, who's been munching on the green stuff at the ends of all the grass courts at Wimbledon, lol! Do you suppose Novaks appetite for it is that voracious? I'll take your word for it, if you insist. Gotta go play the bagpipes now.
calling anyone GOAT beside federer is just based on braindead arguments, like "titles in weak era", "skipping clay no sportsmanship", "having all the easy draws" blabla. I say stop disrespect other players like Hewitt, Safin, Rodick etc. There is nothing wrong skipping tournaments to save energy. What exactly makes some delusional so called Nadalfans think he is the GOAT? Federer has the most complete package of any player, most gs-titles, most weeks no. 1, most gs semifinals/quarterfinals in a row, most match wins and titles except to connors (for now), best shotmaker, best server in the game, owns most records in tennis overall, style of play, sportsmanship and fan-favorit almost every year, on- and offcourt gentleman... don´t tell me Nadal is GOAT cause better h2h to Federer, or cause of 11 FO titles, these are some stats where nadal leads, thats all, this is nothing compared to the full package federer has. Quick reminder, Nadal never came closer than 3 gs titles eventhough Federer did not win any from 2012 wim to 2017 Ao - simple facts right there no excuses, just the truth. 1. Federer, 2. Laver/Nadal
Francis Ng I think he’d prefer playing Fed in the final in front of a proFed Centre Court, you know, like a few years ago, than a serve bot like John Isner or Kevin Anderson.
Desiree DLP exactly, i think he would beat Federer easier than boring servers like Isner and Anderson. It is a shame coz Fed Djok final would have been amazing, but at least we get Nadal Djokovic semis epic

He lost because of eating that fish eyeball on the side of a mountain.

Even 100th ranked male tennis player would destroy Serena. Women's tennis is a joke.

The reason why Serena has been dominating women's tennis over the years is because of her physical superiority over the other female players. For me she's more man than woman. She doesn't deserve being called the Goat.

His accent has become more and more American over time.
I agree, his English has progressed so much over the years
Just like Roger

Sounds the same to me. I guess I have to look back 8 - 10 years ago.
He has Belgrade accent actually.

Vasilis Kar he is just more humble an individual than you are. Maybe that's why he made it so far up in life. He let's his racket do the talking. And constantly seeking superiority or inferiority in every situation is quite an insecure notion. Enjoy great tennis and great tennis players. Everything and everyone is unique in there own light. I'd think that's obvious.
I’m a huge Fed fan and I’m sad he’s out but I’m absolutely relishing this clash of Rafa vs Novak on Friday, damn that going to be 🔥 like the old days, i’ll make sure not to miss it
Roger lost the match because he mishit a backhand at match point in the third set at 6-5. Then on, it was 2013 Federer.
In 20 years of Federer there are many kinds of Federer:
2007 Federer (Sublime shot making)
2013 Federer (Bad Federer)
2017 Federer (Clutch NEW Federer)
2015 Federer (net aggression + SABR)
Smite Stuff yeah that too 👍
Well, yeah. But Anderson played godlike. It was a Rosol-esque performance vs. Nadal. I'm a Federer fan by the way
Sammy Al Hashemi After seeing Anderson last night, that Federer mishit backhand helped produced what I think will be "An unbeatable Anderson" coming into the final. Anderson got 2 sets to love against an unbeatable Djokovic in 2015 Wimbledon.
CJ Ever DON’T REMIND ME OF 2013 FEDERER.
Roger is one of the best ever but court 1 is not an excuse for loosing and im sure roger wouldnt want that bought into the conversation!!!
BADDAZZ GARAGE RF did not blame the court 1 during the press conference he said its just one of those bad days and he praised Anderson for sticking around and got what he wanted.
Jacki BuenApp i no i never said roger said it joka did! And i said roger wouldnt want others saying it like joka did!! I think you miss red my comments! If you re read my words you will see what i said!😎😊
good that we can all say what we want and share our opinions.. silly asses like you are annoying, joker can say what he want, wether federer agrees or disagrees with it.. also it IS a different mental approach, that's all joker said.. of course roger won't talk that this affected him, it would be silly and people would think hes making excuses
slXD100 you just said what i said that roger wouldnt want that label!! You absolute idiot!!!!
😀😁😂🤣
i just said that we wouldnt openly talk about it as an excuse but that it still affects him in a mental way.. i understand, your iq is low and english is hard, good luck in life
Jel to rekao "But JEBiga" na 5:33 ?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nice catch brt
Haha
Charismatic, charming, handsome, talented, articulate. 10/10 guy. Due heart Federer fan here.
Novak's a class bloke for sure..........one of the big three that have ruled for so many years........
Since Roger lost im supporting Nole all the way Idemos Nole😍😍😍😍😍😍 .
Bakheet Aljedhi I am supporting Anderson.
Deepthi Nair Cant support a guy who took out my idol but anyone but Nadal , if he wins this i feel he will break Rogers Record .
Bakheet Aljedhi hahahahahahahahahahahaha
stuewz I will laugh so hard when Nole beats Nadal😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Backheet Aljedhi Even if Novak beats Rafa I don't care at all! It's even clearer in my mind that Federer is only overrated, he's even not the king of grass, Sampras is. I couldn't be more happier to see that ''weak era'' goat already eliminated by an oponnent Rafa has beaten in straight set at the last USO, while ''the only clay player'' is in SF in his favorite tournament hahahahaha, you can't laugh more than I am right now!
After Wimbledon Rafa will have 2000 points more than Fed in the ranking which means he will finish world #1 AGAIN and will have more week #1, that's only what is matter right now.
RAFA IS THE GOAT
I hated it when Novak constantly took out Federer in 14-15 ..but I really hope the man takes out Nadal.
Djokovic is the man of tennis. sure, Federer is classy.. as long as things go mostly his way. Nadal is nice.. but breaks now and then, Djokovic has a bad past with negative reputation.. but people change and we don't know what was really going on. Djokovic has been the nicest, classiest and most empathetic guy for years... win or lose, he is honest and doesn't take anything away from his oponents.. even against Kyle, he said that Kyle couldn't know if the ball bounced twice etc.. blabla. Kyle got the point even though the ball bounced twice, he threw the racket and also ran into the net.. people are always against djokovic for some reason, but djoko had nothing but praise for Kyle in the interview afterward.. could've ripped him, because everyone and even Kyle himself (bodylanguage etc) knows the truth.. anyway. enjoy the match tomorrow and hopefully novak can pull it off.. even though nadal looks a bit better (comparing their performance in the last match), I believe djokovic will step it up.. he always did when he really needed it, mostly*, not always!
He might tho. He is 2 sets to 1 up now. Match will again resume indoors, so advantage Djokovic.
Piyush wont make make him better than Federer. He never had any era of himself. He had only clay era of himself tbh. Novak Djokovic and Federer, these 2 guys indeed had their proper eras.
Best returner the game as ever had . He his like a borg waiting and homing in on the server.
Hey...did anyone catch Novak calling Roger “the best ever”
Jorge amazing totally extremely correct and reasonable answer
Djokovic played on Centre Court because Federer was hogging the damn Centre Court the entire tournament while Djokovic finally got his first match there. Djokovic played Nishikori, Fed played Anderson. On paper the Djoko/Nishi match is better. Now that Fed choked and lost to Anderson after being 2 sets up is not the fault of the court rofl. I know Fed fans want to use every excuse in the book but Federer was mostly a serve bot today and still almost won because of his great serve. If Fed had a serve like Nadal or Djokovic he would have never been the GOAT.
Marcia Williams....Federer hadn't played off Centre Court since 2015. You sound petty and ridiculous. Novak wanted to play his match on Centre Court and he had the more intriguing match so he got it. It's not Novak's fault Roger lost since Novak had to play Kevin Anderson Court 1 in 2015 and barely won that one. Stop whining. Roger should have ended that match in straight sets but he messes up and caused his own loss.
Jackson Greene RF is the defending champ, 8-time champ and no.1 seed. Enough reasons to put him on CC all the time. What's wrong with Novak is the fact that in every single tournament, he always have something to complain about. Now that is PETTY!
The 2003-2006 Weak Era Power Vacuum: The Period of Federer's Greatest Dominance Was Essentially Devoid Of Great/Consistent Competitors.An example of Federer's power vacuum luck: on his way to winning the 2006 AO, Federer faced ZERO players who had ever even been in a GS finale, let alone won it. In other words,all 7 of his opponents were players who never in their careers won a slam, nor ever previously reached a slam finale! By comparison, Nadal and Djokovic never won a GS title without beating at least one past/future slam champion.Federer’s decline in terms of slam titles won coincides with the emergence of Nadal and Djokovic. Federer was only 26 when Rafa and Novak started making him look un-GOAT-like, which destroys the fallacious argument that only age has prevented him from competing as well as he once did.Furthermore, look at several of Federer's early slam finale opponents' rankings:
2003 Wimbledon: 3-0 vs. Philippoussis, ranked 48.
2004 Aussie Open: 3-0 vs. Safin, ranked 86.
2006 Aussie Open: 3-1 vs. Baghdatis, ranked 54.
Are these the kinds of low ranked, unseeded players Nadal, Djokovic and Murray had a chance at crushing in slam finales? More concrete proofthat 2003-2006 was undoubtedly a very weak era - especially compared to the strong Big 4 Era tha came right after it, when suddenly Federer found it much more difficult to accumulate slams. NOT due to his rising age, because already from the age of 27 onwards Roger could no longer beat Nadal and Djokovic in any slam finales.More numbers that Federer fans don't want to know about -Average Rankings of Slam Finale Opponents:
10.8 is the average ranking ofFederer's slam finale opponents
4.5 is the average ranking ofDjokovic's slam finale opponents
4.4 is the average ranking ofNadal's slam finale opponents
2.0 is the average ranking ofMurray's slam finale opponents
Analyzing all these numbers, does this mean Federer wasluckier? Of course it does; certainly much luckier than Murray. Roger's very high 26% and 10.8 are directly related to the fact that he thrived in the fairly weak POWER VACUUM2003-2007 era when the top 5 kept changing all the timebecause most of them were not consistent threats, not players of the highest caliber.
Roger should of stood back further to return to serve . He’s way too close
Pete Sampras is the best ever on Grass!
True. On real grass Sampras is the best. On slow fake grass Federer and Djokovic are great.
Hahaha no. Federer is better than Sampras. Way way better
Chris71319 whatever. Pete closed out points by coming to the net. Best serve ever, best running forehand, best slam dunker, and better than Fed at the net.
Class from novak Djokovic
He is such a good man.He has a beautiful soul,he is unreal.Serbia is proud of you ,and we love you.You are the best,and we know that,and you too.
In sport altho the sportsmen compete against another. The real challenge is challenging yourself within. That always made sense to know that. It was nice to hear that from Djorkovic
5:33 "but jebiga" 😂
The Goat, Roger
Counting on you since FedEx is out...
He has given us fed fans a relief lol
@@gsrman8834 not for long lol. All of them are at 20 now
Great to see Joker back on his game! I hope the Semi is as good as the quarter w del potro
Off topic
I think as Fedfans ...Federer gave us everything we ever dreamed in 2017!The greatest year in men's tennis!
He crushed everybody with that beauty of a backhand ,so i know he can't win them all but I'll enjoy watching him until the day he retires.Good for Anderson.
Thumbs up for Djokovic acknowledging Fed as the GOAT!
Djokovic is rubbing it in. He doesn’t like Roger
Novak is simply the best 🏆🏆🏆
The title should be Novak is "shocked" his dirty plan worked, lol.
CHRIS EVERT: "Do you think the emotional and mental side is a big aspect for you?" Could she ask a stupider question?
I'm Fed's fan but I wasn't shocked that he lost. His form this year hasn't been good since AO 18 final. He goes into God Mode in the first set but the level drops quickly after that.
5:17
It's hard for a Serb to express himself in english, Serbian is much more rich and colourfull language. You can see him struggling. :)
Hes worked harder than nadal for wimbledon..hes gotta win
SO HAPPY TO SEE NOLE IN THE FINAL!
Djokovic is probably unhappy he isn’t playing Federer coz he would have battered Federer as usual. Djokovic is the greatest tennis player that’s ever lived.
You guys are so funny
Rafa is the greatest
He was probably disappointed that he didn't get to complete his trilogy of beating Federer in the finals of Wimbledon.
what were the first two parts?
InvictuZ 2014 and 2015
Thanks
Anderson must win!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
InvictuZ hope not 🤣
interesting finally to hear Novak acknowledging that Federer is the greatest of all time properly after saw how hard to come from knee surgery and be as great as ever been on tour for Roger Federer, while he struggled just to get the confidence be in the tour for more than a year 👍. but I happy for Novak he is back nearly there to his best match by match is good for tennis hopefully Andy too ! RF fan for ever 😊.
i rly dont know abouth what u talk... novak is ewery time up federer name and allways speeked about hem in atribute, so...
Novak Is gentleman
What’s this passive aggressive nonsense lol. Just say you are fed fan and hate Djokovic with your chest 😂😂😂
Jessica Ayo grow up and be nice ! hate is not in my book you keep that for yourself thanks anyway .
At least he admits it Rafa would never
Can't wait to see roger and novak in the same team for the laver cup
Nole, it's good to see you back going deep into tournaments.
Now don't let Rafa win. I only say that b/c you sometimes give him the match RG two years was an example --however we all grow over time and seeing change in you (as well as Serena) it's interesting (to see if you'll come in even more grounded- stay out of your head PERIOD, it's the mechanical only then just drop into the heart only- and grind! ---- | and it's touching - how nice you give Roger support and credit ---- lending that understanding of the Champion to Champion for the viewer - that court 1 comment was something that only a player would know and it was interesting. Go on and Take Wimby Nole - Rafa is extremely great in his own right but he's not a better player at the end of the day you need to take that. xx Nice to see you and Jelena on her bday too. xx
Federer was so nervous late in his match it was CRIPPLING the way he hit the ball....Seen him get that nervous MANY times...He gets so nervous he cant even hit a routine groundstroke...Starts hitting the ball SOOOO SOFT and right in the middle..Felt bas watching him choke that badly..
That 3rd set Rafa/Joker was aa good a set of tennis as I've ever seen.
Novak is back definitively and finally so. He got back that animal eye of looking forward the match! I wih he could climb his best against Rafa who is figuring as the best player into this tournament. Good luck Novak I hope U go on!
Word of the day :sort to say
Thanks Joko
Novak can't shocked because everyone is beatable and rafa almost lost but came through
And the fact that Federer is 36 and clearly years past his prime.
Jay Lee learn english.... and Rafa best delpo....djoker beat just nishikori
PhillyPhan and the fact that fed won just 1 grandslam during age 27 to 35... Fedtards.. Using same excuse every time... And when he wins he can do at the age of 36.. great player... Great logic.. Aye??
I see where your sarcasm is from. haha
Ben Brown do math again... Or just go to ur teacher and tell him to do it.. If its too hard
Roger lost but the Big four are still gonna dominate for a few years yet. Especially when Andy Murry gets back.
I think Kevin Anderson has a reasonable chance....
Kevin was probably too tired to fight novak by the time he reach to the finals.
Federer's loss is thanks to Bear Grylls lol
Anyone saying that playing on court 1 was a factor in federer losing is looking for excuses, the court doesn't cause you to lose from 2 sets up. Federer's forehand broke down as the match went, with him only managing short spells of consistency on one of his most important shots. The signs were there in his previous matches, but his great serving covered up the inconsistency on his forehand. In the previous matches his forehand wasn't bad but it wasn't the same as it normally is.
Anderson began to make more aggressive shots as the match progressed, and when federer needed his forehand the most he couldn't find it. It happens to everyone, normally players like federer get through those matches, but when someone is striking the ball like anderson was in the second half of the match, you need to be able to rely on your strengths, for federer those strengths are his serve and forehand, one them let him down and he lost the match.
The result would have been the same on any court, anderson's weapons began firing at full potential while federer's weapons failed him on the day.
Wimbledon might be considering Djokovic has the biggest chance to win the championship.
Federer is tennis and tennis is Federer 👍👍
Federer is past, Djokovic will win more slams until he retires
Age is just a number but talent with him remains until he retires
Federer would of won comfortably if the match was on centre court, Federer choked on court 1 was too nervous for some reason. Still think Federer will likely win US open as he is due another title there and will give him extra motivation to come back stronger even though he will be 37.
Playing on the central court or on the court 1 should be the same for the player lilke Fedex is....That is not the main reason. You forgot Anderson, too....
ewerything is for prestige..when novak was on first place, Uk wanted novak to change SRB for GBR. And than started atack on Novak.. i rly not understood ppl. how they not c that. novak lead in fight against fedex and rafa . but eurosport and MR. Willander try make worse Novak success. Just cus Novak didnt wont change the coat of arms. Still rich think ewerything can buy for money ;)
yes absolutely right since nole choose serbia, the press media of uk hate him more and more, that´s why novak is not like for britsh.
Really! The Brits try to wheel him to them, he refused and that’s why he gets so much “hate”? Huh. That explains it.
Did he mean "hats off"?
Oh yeah?!you shock? You will know it in just a matter of time! 😒
Who said that Federer had an easy draw?
all time great roger
Djokovic actually addreses That RF is the greatest ever, Nice for him.
Djokovic is happy.
well done djockovich your stratergy worked, i like ho wdjockovich waited til the most imporatn matches to complain about center court
beiing humble suits him well :)
So he said: greatest ever, especially on grass.
Very fucking shocking
Rafa will beat Novak on Friday, Rafa wants it more. If you watched the match today against Delpo, Rafa was in trouble getting pummeled down 2 sets to 1. What happened? Vintage Rafa baby! He used all his skills, physical chess. Drop shot, serve and volley! Rafa serve and volleying???? And he won something like 36/45 points at net, What ever it takes baby! He’s going to do what ever it takes to beat Novak too. He will die to win Wimbledon again.
You do realize that match was pretty much 5 hours so physically how will he hold up against a fresher in form Djoker. Novak wants it badly too so I think Novak wins in 4 sets
No chance, Novak will win
I don't think want is going to be a question at all on Friday. They both want it just as bad. Rafa hasn't won here in 8 years and Novak hasn't won any major at all in 2 years. For Novak, a win rights the ship and gets him on the course to challenging for a slam and potentially #1 again. For Nadal a win puts him in position to be the closest hes ever been to Roger in slam count since 2-0. Its just going to come down to who executes better.
Gold Wolf raffa for ever baby! Yes roger is probably the best ever but raff aint to far behind and he is way more exciting to watch! The effort in every shot is just sports music baby!!! Cmon raffa pull those jocks out of your ass and kick some ass baby!!😀😁😂🤣😃😅!
Gold Wolf I hope you're right
Is Novak shocked that Federer lost or is he happy. Lol
Daz Im he's probably disappointed that he won't get to play Federer, to be honest. Champions are not afraid of playing other champions. Only cowards want easy opponents and Novak is no coward.
Pretty sure he's relieved that Roger is gone now.
He's lucky that Wimbledon put Roger at court 1 instead of Centre court....Novak should buy those guys at Wimbledon a few pints of Guinness.
Francis Ng Djokovic has played better than Federer has in this tournament against tougher opponents. I bet he is pretty confident he can beat Nadal and would have been just as confident he can beat Roger.
Francis Ng mate if federer was good enough he should have won suck it up champion
Francis Ng it's not like Novak is going to win wimbledon
Inside was like : " fuck you federGAY 😲"Come on NO1E
You are looking for 5:07. You are welcome
Ps it’s very possible Novak will be in the Final?
Federer kept shanking and hitting short.
يا خي هم ياخي لاصق في نادال كيلصقة روح اخطينا خلي تنس لماليه
To day any body can be defeated at any time on any court . Stronger you are the more you wins. To day it is a power game without grace and talent.Federer can be easily beatable and too in less competitive circuit and that is what Anderson did it. Isner should have thrashed everybody in every match if he has serve and volley game. They have only service and power. They are too tall and sluggish in their movements. Now when sampras played he also faced giant killer like Goran Ivanosvich, Gred Rusedski, Philipouses, Mark Rosset, Richard Krachichejk who are all served 135 mph and above.But Sampras beat them all with graceful serve and volley and base line strokes. But Richrd Krachiejk could beat sampras because he too is an excellent serve and volley player. Tommy Haas is much superior in strokes than Federer but he played gracefully and style but with less power and serve and volley. If you drag beyond five sets then anybody can be beaten. That is what the tennis history .Now let us see the match between Jokovich and Anderson , you see sheer power without grace in 5 hrs or 10 hrs.
Novak's huge comeback is coming!
Boy were you right about that or what??? From Federer 20, Nadal 16, Djokovic 12 to 20 all for Big 3.
The aged well lol
Djokovic e é o melhor
The djoker is back
NAS NOVAK JE JEDAN JEDINI I VISE SE TAKAV NERADJA.OBOZAVAM TE NOLEEEE IDEMO DALJE PO NOVE POBEDE I REKORDEEEEE!!!!!! NEK SI ZIV I ZDRAV JOS GODINA STOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Wow Novak called Federer the GOAT
Say Scotland Yard, who's been munching on the green stuff at the ends of all the grass courts at Wimbledon, lol! Do you suppose Novaks appetite for it is that voracious? I'll take your word for it, if you insist. Gotta go play the bagpipes now.
calling anyone GOAT beside federer is just based on braindead arguments, like "titles in weak era", "skipping clay no sportsmanship", "having all the easy draws" blabla. I say stop disrespect other players like Hewitt, Safin, Rodick etc. There is nothing wrong skipping tournaments to save energy. What exactly makes some delusional so called Nadalfans think he is the GOAT? Federer has the most complete package of any player, most gs-titles, most weeks no. 1, most gs semifinals/quarterfinals in a row, most match wins and titles except to connors (for now), best shotmaker, best server in the game, owns most records in tennis overall, style of play, sportsmanship and fan-favorit almost every year, on- and offcourt gentleman... don´t tell me Nadal is GOAT cause better h2h to Federer, or cause of 11 FO titles, these are some stats where nadal leads, thats all, this is nothing compared to the full package federer has. Quick reminder, Nadal never came closer than 3 gs titles eventhough Federer did not win any from 2012 wim to 2017 Ao - simple facts right there no excuses, just the truth. 1. Federer, 2. Laver/Nadal
When you get to the TOP get READY TO DROP prepare your self for the FALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
G.O.A.T.
veliki gospodin
5:30 Shocker surprise for everyone, but jebi ga :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I think ND is happier than shocked that Federer is gone.
Francis Ng I think he’d prefer playing Fed in the final in front of a proFed Centre Court, you know, like a few years ago, than a serve bot like John Isner or Kevin Anderson.
Doesn't matter either way as he will be watching the final in his lounge.
Desiree DLP exactly, i think he would beat Federer easier than boring servers like Isner and Anderson. It is a shame coz Fed Djok final would have been amazing, but at least we get Nadal Djokovic semis epic
Francis Ng No, he is sad. Nothing trumps beating Fed in front of rude British crowd.
----> 5:15
Who is the Aussie guy talking?
Brad Gilbert? Agassi's ex coach
Sorry Darren Cahill*
Simona coach
so beat Nadal in the semi....and take the tite in the final
"it's Roger Federer, he's the greatest ever" what sportsmanship
Love Novak
Novak is back!!!
Roger very careless play that's y he lose
Anderson, like Isner, has raised his level this year. Rafa, beware.
big 3 not 4
