Tennis Forever

Novak, had a double break in the 4th set, roger converted one and also had a 2 double break point opportunity to be on service again when he botched that one also. Most underwhelming USO tournament in a long time. Never been this disappointed with the quality of tennis like this year.

If only he got the third, things could have been different.....always been the case with him when he faces Novak.....This wait for the 18th is sort of Sachin's wait for the 100th ton...Well you might never know....

Exactly what I was thinking too. He's overthinking this milestone and like the 100th, it means next to nothing because he already has the record. And unfortunately he has no Srini mama to arrange an easy final say against Ferrer on a Wimbledon with old school grass to win the 18th. He will have to get through Nole and Nole is basically a human wall. A wall made of steel or something so the ball bounces back with extra pace.

Absolutely, worst slam final I have seen on the ATP in quite some time. Telling, that, considering this has usually been the most exciting rivalry in current tennis. The rain delay robbed both guys of rhythm, I guess. Nole has always been better at winning these ugly matches. Even so, Fed was simply horrid in that third set. He had gained control of the match and let it slip from there.

Federer's Grand Slams record not impossible, says Djokovic

Novak Djokovic on Wednesday said taking out Roger Federer's record of 17 Grand Slam titles was one of his main motivations as he looks to prolong his stay at the top of men's tennis. The world number one said Federer's magic total wasn't out of the question after a year in which the Serb contested all four Grand Slam finals and won three of them, taking his total to 10.

Basel Final Roger vs Rafa....
They are meeting after 2014 AO.
This might be the match that Rafa wants to turn around his bad streak the past year & half or so.
From what we have seen this week Rafa is looking in a much better rhythm to take Roger....

If Roger could some how bring his Summer 2015 game into play then it could be easy picking for him.
However even in his worse form Rafa still has something to unsettle Roger...
