Yeah, I was glad that he won too. He needed to get a title under his belt. I agreed with the commentators that he was at about 70%, but Rafa can make up the distance pretty quickly sometimes. He's still a far cry away from Fed, Andy, and Nole, but these things come with time.
His net skills were on point today.
Wow, Fed spanked Novak today. What is the deal with those two? Is it me, or does Nole seem intimidated by Federer? He makes so many errors when he plays Federer and I think it's psychological. Fed hasn't always treated him so kindly in the past and I think that has stayed with Novak. In a strange way, people like that tend to "respect" those who disdain them and disdain those who respect them. That's my take anyway.
Really?, I'd say Rafa was pretty close to his best overall. I doubt he wanted to win the final 6-1 6-1 anyway.
About Fed, he's 32, right?. I don't think that's THAT old really. Still pretty much prime physically I'd say. I think his fans have overstated his decline to explain away his loses to Rafa (I mean, they insist he's been on decline since he was 26 ffs, because he lost the Wimbledon final to Rafa).
I was reading the other day that he actually had a better W/UE ratio in the Wimbledon final in 2014 than in 2007 or 2008.
