He is constantly talking about himself, and his pronunciation of 'Jokeovic' is annoying as well, Mcenroe does the same so it must be an American thing.

Other than that he's alright, better than 'super long sentences' Rusedski.

Doohickey · 12 Jul 2015 at 16:44

In fairness he's always being asked about his experiences. 'Joke-ovic' is pretty annoying, but yeah it seems it's an American thing. Not a fan of Rusedski's commentary.

Roger is going to need a monumental effort but can't see him doing it now.

Djokovic can't really lob can he?

Freddie1980 · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:07

Novaks serve is looking bullet proof at the moment.

Mental stamina's gone

Tombstone · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:20

Watching Federer at the moment is like watching an old elite warrior doing everything he can to hold back the ebb of time.

Game over here, I think. Thankfully so, given my money on a Novak win in 4!

Kainz · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:22

Rooting for Federer but Novak has tremendous stamina to keep up this pace.

Tombstone · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:25

Rooting for Fed too, to win Wimbledon one last time. But there are few things as debilitating to man as the passage of time and I fear that the sands of Federers hourglass are running low.

Cosimo · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:25

Looks as though I should have stayed in the pool.

yeah, he doesn't seem to be holding himself very well in the final, he's making mistakes which he shouldn't be making. I like Novaks playing style, very sleek and elegant - rooting for him to win

Craig1981 · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:27

And its all over. 3 sets to 1.

Guerrilla · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:27

Good game, well deserved.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:27

GSM Djokovic.

Federer just couldn't maintain the level he displayed against Murray two games in a row

snips86x · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:28

and there we have it

Good game!!

Yeah, I dont think I've ever seen Federer hit the net as often in his career. Watching Federer there I cant help but wonder how many more years he can keep going. He actually looked tired and aged in the second half of that match. At 34 next Wimbledon, thats getting on for a tennis player.

What font do the BBC use on those statistics tables? It's lovely...

MrMoonX · 12 Jul 2015 at 17:34

Two great players, roger just seemed to lose it, the best two men in the tournament without a doubt, Murray would have got killed by Novak today
