  • Still cannot believe Roger lost that Wimbledon final in 2019

    From Nick@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 1 19:23:16 2023
    He won every category except the final score. Never happened before and probably will never since.

    After that match, even the biggest Federer worshipper should have realized the writing on the wall.

    Don't serve wide at 40-15, down the middle, put the volley away a la Petey, game set match!

    His 1st serve was down the middle and Novak was leaning the wrong way.
    Would have been 3rd ace in a row and 9th title if not for a let.
    Sliding door moment. Can't believe that match, like it was scripted for
    a movie.

    Still Djokovic even surpassed Federer in "greatest missed chance".

    Grand Slam vs one Wimbledon title?

    Grand Slam would have put an end on everything for all times even more than a mere Wimbledon title.


    So Federer's missed opportunity is not even greater than Djokovic's.

    ;)

    yes it's one of those if you wrote it in a script, nobody would buy it as it's unbelievable!

    hmmm it's a good point but Fed was playing vs Djoker that made the difference too.

    Ha, ha! Well, that Wimbledon 2019 final result was horrible! A lot of Fed worshippers went off the deep end after that final. Their brains had to come up with theories as to why and how Federer was still the goat which was a tricky proposition. How many
    slam finals did Federer choke away to Djokovic in the same fashion? What was it? Three or four?

    Reminds me of the mental gymnastics meme.
