It is difficult not to feel for Roger Federer. He all but won the encounter yesterday, but Djokovic was the one who won the match simply because he was the better player. Two things are quite certain about Federer: 1. No matter how good the contest it is, but he will be the one to finish on the losing side when faced with Top players in Top tournaments, and 2. If it goes to 5 sets, Federer will lose. I cannot recall when he last won a 5 setter: Was it at Wimbledon in 2007 against Nadal?

Even Roger haven't thought about these 2 points in his life. All the players who compete here are good players..Nole & Roger are one of the top ranked players in tennis.Nole is really at his best now..and its just a game.can't expect Roger to win all the titles..

Totally disagree on the first point. If he was to lose to top players in top tournaments, he wouldnt have ended up winning 16 grand slams! on second point, well, if you can recall wimbledon 2007 where he lost to nadal in 5 setter, you should also remember 2008 final where he put across Andy Roddick in a 5 setter thriller. Argument may go on on whether he was the best player ever to pick up the tennis racquet.. but he is certainly one of the best for sure.
