Let me talk about this game from another perspective. This is a competition between evenly matched top players. Moreover, the two are so familiar with each other that victory or defeat can be determined by just a few inches.
Federer has performed at a high level on grass that is rare in recent years, and has also evolved his offensive techniques and varied routines. Many wonderful placements and incredible returns were mostly made by Federer. It's hard to imagine that Federer, who is about to turn 38, can still have such wonderful performances and almost impeccable returns.
But Federer still lost. Where do you lose? The loss lies in the belief in winning and the adjustment of mentality at critical moments. This game was very similar to the epic showdown in 2009 when Federer defeated Roddick. In that game, Roddick also played in a rare good condition and competitive level, but still fell short in the final. Why? It was also psychological fluctuations that caused the final loss. It was a mentality of wanting to win but afraid of losing. Subtle changes in the handling of key balls were reflected in the inability to seize the opportunities.
Wanting to win but fearing to lose and the belief in winning are two completely different mentalities. Those who want to win but are afraid of losing often feel that they have worked so hard, and when the opportunity comes, they must seize it without making mistakes or mistakes. The more this happens, the more irreparable mistakes will be caused. The belief that must win is that no matter how behind we are, no matter how embarrassing and critical the moment is, we should remain calm and composed, firmly believe that there will be a turnaround, and firmly believe that we can win this point.
This subtle difference in mentality was ultimately reflected on the court when Federer's serve won the game. Two ACE balls obviously brought the score to 40:15. Another serve could resolve the battle, but But I still couldn't find the feeling of winning the ball and couldn't hit it.
So in the end, the three tie-breaks were all caused by Federer's own mistakes that ruined a good set.
Looking at Djokovic, in fact, his level today was not a super performance, but a reflection of his normal level. But he was able to firmly grasp his own advantages, hold off Federer, and slowly bring Federer into his own rhythm until Federer made more mistakes and did not dare to make a move on key balls. Sometimes, due to too much output in the early stage, mistakes were made frequently. Think about how Ding Junhui was beaten to death by Selby several times in the World Snooker Championships, and you will know what is going on.
Djokovic’s success lies in building strong self-confidence and having a big heart. Think about Djokovic, which grew up from a broken country and continued to hone its ability to deal with complex situations in the face of adversity. In the end, he was reborn. You may not like him, but you cannot ignore his achievements.
Of course, no matter what today's game is like, Federer's ability to still stand at the center and commanding heights of the world tennis stage at the age of 38 is the best expression of his ability and talent. It is also the most powerful proof of his lifelong tennis career and promotion of tennis career. Hands down, he's the best.
Djokovic is also a very successful example. Although many seniors and fans do not regard him as the spokesperson of tennis, no one can ignore that he is also another GOAT. In the final, the audience almost unanimously supported Federer. One can imagine how much pressure Djokovic was under. But from the beginning to the end, he showed a very mature performance. There was no swearing or nonsensical antics like when he was young. Instead, he was just a solid defense point after point. His calmness and calmness of mind are beyond his expected maturity for his age.
So both men are equally great. In this game, we saw the strongest grass attacker in history and the strongest defensive counterattack in history.
It is true that the epic showdown has come to an end. There will always be people who are happy and people who are sad. But what it brings to the world is that the classic interpretation that will forever be recorded in history will shine brightly in the long river of history. When these two great rivals retire in the near future, they will cherish each other's achievements.
You know what kind of game this is!
Federer is ahead of Djokovic in almost all technical statistics - even 14 points more in total points, except for unforced errors (this is also due to the different playing styles of the two) direct relationship).
Facing Djokovic, the number one receiver in history, Lao Niu didn’t give up his first break point of the game until the end of the fourth set. This kind of serving state has reached its limit
As a fan of Lao Niu, this game really went from accepting my fate (losing in the tiebreaker in the first set, which reminded me of my past experiences with Djokovic) to igniting a little hope (quick win in the second set) , then resigned to fate (continued to kneel in the tie-break of the third set), and then felt that he had made a profit (successfully won the fourth set and entered a long-set tiebreaker). Then, in the deciding set, I went from accepting my fate (being the first to be broken), to feeling that I had earned a profit (breaking back), to being ecstatic, and then when I was only one step away from victory, those two championship points happened that are amazing. A sad story
A match that I will never let go of, but perhaps one of the greatest matches in tennis history. In my opinion, this match has surpassed Wimbledon in 2008 and 2012. The Australian Open final
========================================= =
Djokovic's greatness, from a technical perspective, is due to his strongest serve reception and baseline defense ability in history, including of course his right-handed double reverse, which is also the best in history. From a psychological perspective, It is said that in the most extreme environment, he can burst out with amazing fighting power silently. This situation has happened too many times - and this game reminded me of many bitter memories of the past
In the 2011 US Open semi-finals, it was also the fifth set. Federer's serve also won the game. It was also 40-15 with two match points. Djokovic used a fighting style to defeat the veteran. Niu's serve came back fiercely, completing a stunning return ace, which also became the beginning of Djokovic's shocking reversal in that game; a year ago in the 2010 US Open semi-finals, although Lao Niu also He missed two match points in the deciding set, but it was Djokovic's serve after all. . .
In the quarter-finals of the French Open in 2012, he resolved multiple match points and defeated Tsonga; in the semi-finals of the French Open in 2013, despite losing to the king of clay Nadal in a long set in a five-set battle, At the end of the fourth set, when Nadal's serve won the game, he worked hard to break serve and took the fourth set into a tie-break and won it; including last year's Wimbledon semi-finals, there were key points in the deciding set. The game continued to resolve the break points forced by Nadal. . . I even think that compared to Nadal, the energy Djokovic can burst out in extreme environments and extreme scores is even more amazing - compared to Nadal's passion, Djokovic's performance in such life-and-death scores is amazing. This kind of shocking cold rationality
Such a game that is generally inferior may not be played by anyone else (even Nadal has proven it in the semi-finals). As a result, Djokovic He relied on three tie-breaks to win a game in which Federer's own performance was almost perfect. And as a fan of Lao Niu, I have to say that in this situation where Lao Niu is only one step away from victory, he has actually ruined many good games - when Lao Niu polished himself technically , is indeed cruel, but psychologically, he tends to be overly conservative when victory is in sight. This was true when he missed four match points against Nadal in the semifinals, and even more so when he wasted two championship points in a row in the final. . . It's just that ordinary opponents may not be able to push the old cow to that point.
The 5-2, 6-5 hesitation against Safin in the 2005 Australian Open semi-finals, The excessive hesitation after breaking serve in the fourth set against Big Pineapple in the 2009 US Open final, the four missed match points against Djokovic in the 2010 and 2011 US Open semi-finals, etc. . . Every scene makes me unable to let go, but compared to today's regrets, those are even small things. . .
=========================================== ========
Maybe this is the so-called character determines destiny. Just like someone once said, if Ronaldinho was more self-disciplined, his achievements would be even more limitless. However, maybe it is true. It is such a bohemian soul that can create such unbridled imagination on the football field.
Federer's tennis is unparalleled to watch. He uses almost every imaginable hitting technique so appropriately and is so proficient in his skills. However, when it comes to fighting, compared to Djokovic, in Yugoslavia The fiery ambition forged in the flames of war may not really have such a big heart
Therefore, Federer and Djokovic have entered the final set in the Grand Slam four times in a row (10 US dollars). Open semi-finals, 11 US Open semi-finals, 14 Wimbledon finals, and this epic final), it was Federer who lost, and every time it was an extremely weak disadvantage. Maybe this really is destiny determined by character. . . And when Lao Niu lost the game by hitting the ball away in almost the same way, did anyone think of Roddick who hit the last ball 10 years ago. . .
This is a long paragraph of nonsense. Please forgive me. Whenever I think my heart is calm, I find that it is just that I have not reached the point of sadness. . .

As soon as I entered the multi-shooting, I felt weak for Lao Niu, always worried that he would get caught in the net. Hang the net with your backhand! Djokovic was stumbling throughout the game, but Lao Niu had a smooth sailing, but in the end, Lao Niu lost on the key ball! In the final set, Lao Niu had 2 championship points in his own serving game. He was a little anxious and wanted to end it quickly, but he lost 4 points in a row and was broken! I was so angry that I almost smashed my phone! My heart is filled with panic! I know this is going to be troublesome!

Think about the final ten years ago, and the four set points Roddick lost after 6:2.
It was a magical fight
As Federer's return ball went out of bounds, Djokovic, who won the match point, did not throw away his racket and lie down in tears like most champions. Instead of enjoying a moment of release in the field, after shaking hands with the cows, he slowly walked back to the center of his own field, bent down and squatted, picked up a handful of Wembley grass, chewed it with interest, and tasted the taste of victory. .
Djokovic has the strongest serve-receiving ability in the world and a superb game reading ability. As he said after the game: "This is also the most psychologically demanding game I have ever encountered in my life! "Federer was the dominant player on the grass in the past few years, with his gorgeous SLR and elegant figure. This duel is one that requires quick-acting heart-saving pills to watch the whole match. There is no loser. Congratulations to Djokovic and tribute to Federer. I am so lucky to have witnessed their wonderful duels over the years. I hope big3 won’t retire too soon
Agree with this point of view!
1. Before the 133th Wimbledon men’s singles final, Federer had won the title 8 times and Djokovic had won the title 5 times. The data has already proved their greatness;
2. Djokovic As the world's No. 1 and No. 2 tennis players, Heniu entered the Wimbledon finals for the second time in Wimbledon history, adding a legendary dimension to the game;
3. Close to 5 Hours, 5 rounds of tiebreakers, and a tiebreak after 12 ties in the final round under the new rules made the audience around the world addicted;
4. There were 3 tiebreakers in the whole game 7. The big score, small score and all the data of the two people are very close. The two people jointly explained the entire content of the game with wonderful performance, performed the classics and left behind the classics;
5. Close The 5-hour game featured fierce confrontations and superb performances, which was more exciting than a Hollywood blockbuster. The audience had the same feeling at the end: there was no loser in this game, and both of them deserved to win the championship!
Summary: The final trophy is not enough to praise the two players and the greatness of this game!
Our store has famous watches that cannot be seen as authentic...
Wimbledon 2019 ended with a tie-break in 12 games. Some people say that trophies cannot reflect the greatness of the two. What do you think?
Federer's perfect technique and age-hardening state set off Djokovic's comprehensive technique and tenacious nerves! Djokovic's difficult victory highlighted Federer's gorgeous offensive style and the difficulty of maintaining a high level of competitiveness. From now on, there will be no Federer
Greatness cannot be achieved by you as a small German
The Druid is amazing. He doesn’t have an advantage technically or on the field. Did he win by luck? no. He has a strong heart to resist adversity, and from a strategic level, he can give up what should be given up, get what must be won, and bring the rhythm of the game into the confrontation he is good at. Awesome
