Wimbledon 2017

Will Federer fall to the ground or because it's such an easy win will just act as if routine victory?

Of course he will fall to the ground and potential tears..

 

[Brad Goodman]

Unless you are atomic the


But he beat Roger in the semi not the final.

Bah why do I attempt stats after midnight

 

[SilentHunter_]

This final can be summarised in a GIF imo

It's too bad Federer spent all those years without a coach and without fixing that backhand. Could already have been on 20 titles by now.

He faced Djokovic in what was some of the best tennis seasons to ever be played, doubt he'd have done much different, Djokovic was just a man possessed.

Who does he think he is, Dangerfield ?

Roche did pretty well for him.

 

[wce4premiership]

Cilic throwing this away. Timeout break originally looked like a good move but too many unforced errors.

I was thinking the "tear guy" was looking for a post to ram Federers head. May have a chance of winning.

 

[Lethality]

Who's that man behind Cilic in the opaque red and white chequered lenses?

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Well if he's going to break down just because it's a final then he's mentally fragile. No other player does it

I ageee. Greatness does not cry because your down half way through a match. Imagine if a a war solider starting crying in the middle of a siege? You're dead. I think it was Becker who said you're kidding if you think this isn't a mental game.

From the first ball he looked shot and he barely settled until the crowd clapped him for getting off the chair.

Sad for him and he'll learn from it for next time (if there is a next)

really feel for marin in this match its such a tough place being out there all alone not having anyone to hide behind like in a teams sport, really feel for the guy

Oh come on. He will get fine.

I agree, I feel for him as well. He is down 6-3, 6-1 but he is better than that. But unfortunately for him Federer is in god mode.

 

[hamohawk1]

How good is that sliding serve.

 

[Badesumofu]

Full credit to Cilic, he's been competitive this third set. Not throwing in the towel.

Edit: and Fed seemed to complete a service game in the time it took me to write that post

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Hugh Grant in the house.

The only sunglasses-wearer I've recognized.

 

[danstar]

come on cilic keep in the contest, at least make a tiebreak out of this, give the crowd there moneys worth

 

[danstar]

game over 19th grand slam to federer, what a champion history being made that will never be broken

 

[estibador]

Couple of really bad unforced errors in that game. Probably cost him the match now.

 

[Hamingja]

Sad for him and he'll learn from it for next time (if there is a next)

If it was a mental breakdown and the foot thing was a stage managed cover then his career as a top 10 player is done. No coming back from that.

 

[Lethality]

It's been a poor final.

 

[SilentHunter_]

It's been a poor final.

To say the least. But it is indicative of the tournament as a whole if you think about it. Federer just on another level. So much so that's he has made grown men cry.

 

[danstar]

It's been a poor final.

the entire mens tournament has been poor this year

 

[Teen Wolf]

Federer is just on another level. Put it this way, he's paying $1.80 for a loaf of bread while everyone else is paying $1.90.
