Djokovic has age on his side. Fede has to fight both his age and his 6 yrs younger, world #1 opponent. Hot and humid conditions are not Djokovic's strength, which is what prevails at the USO. I predict, Fede should win in 4 sets.
The master Federer reached tbe finals and is ready to fire all cylinders. Pray for him, so that he wins his 18th Grand slam. Beating full form Djokovic is a task, but the veteren Federer has all answer for the Djokovic fireballs and Federer will do it this time. Fed express looks unstoppable this time. Wish him success and good luck .
The kind of grace federer has is unmatchable. He is such a joy to watch. Although djokovic and nadal are fantastic player without doubt but federer is pleasing to watch. Have seen the greats like Sampras, agassi, etc.play but federers game is so smooth and seamless. All others were / are more hard hitting and good volley players except for Stephen edberg.
Just as expected, its Djoko vs Fed final. Both have been playing exceptional tennis. My mind says Djoko but heart says Federer. Hope my heart is right this time. Even if Fed doesn't win, he will still be the greatest of all-time.

If he wins he will strengthen his case to be called the greatest of all time. If he loses he still will be one of the greatest of all time.But the debate will always be open. He is not the undisputed greatest of all time, period.Good luck to both and let the better one on the day win.

I wonder what else can a player do to be regarded as the GOAT.... Fede has 17 GS titles, 302 weeks as #1, most consistency in the grand slams, 6 world tour final titles, etc... He will soon be the undisputed GOAT.
Federer is such a class act that I hope he just gets the tail-wind to prevail over the younger opponent in the finals. One last hurrah for the ageing artist and then he can even retire!

Beating Djokovic in a best of 5 sets is not easy. Federer needs to gain the initial momentum and ride the wave home. I hope Federer wins his 18th GS title.

yes! He is such a classy player- elegant, versatile, all court game and effective and efficient on all surfaces. He is a rare breed in world of tennis, a thinking player,ageless and joy to watch with great serves. A complete player if ever there was one.
