Federer advantage if the roof closes. The ball is less likely to move around and such facilitates the greater shot maker, which is Federer.

Roddick says his lethal spin shots would sit-up in the humidity, so not as clear-cut as some people think. Plus Novak has a great indoor record too.

Last time they played under the roof Fed absolutely destroyed Djokovic in the 2012 semi final.

100% Fed's advantage if it's under the roof. No chance of his backhand being affected by the conditions.

Djokovic hasn't lost an indoor match since 2012 though. 36 match win streak.

They both have excellent indoor records. Federer has an 80% career win record, and 92% if you take out the first three years of his pro career.

Andy Roddick has been a decent pundit. Hope the beeb keep him.

would prefer him to a number of football pundits

Djokovic in 4 for me, just think he's got the legs on Federer.

I always find it a bit weird how people support particular individuals like supporting a team/club

Nothing against Djokovic he's a great player but I'd prefer Federer to win . He's so good to watch love the way he plays it looks effortless & so classy.

Both seem really good guys & if Djokovic wins so be it but this could be Federers last chance & on a romantic side it would be nice

What's the point of watching (or even having) an individual sport if you aren't going to support anyone?

I didn't say it like that. I support Rafa mainly, but supporting someone in the same way as supporting a club doesn't seem right

Id be amazed if someone takes the same passion out of supporting a tennis player than they do LFC. I can for one eat during a tennis game. For a LFC game i am far too nervous to eat or drink anything.

Roddick is brilliant, hope the BBC get him on more often.

It can happen if you really like a particular person and if that particular person has won plenty of money for you in the past.. I support Jordan Spieth and used to be a big Novak fan too.

Oh yep, fair enough. Yeah I'm the same, I support Federer (+Aussies) but I'm not gonna lose too much sleep if they lose whereas I was sick to the core after that match against Chelsea two seasons ago.

jizzspunk · « **Reply #1853 on:** July 12, 2015, 01:53:49 pm »

Heavier conditions likely to favour Djokovic...not gonna play as slick as Friday

sinnermichael · « **Reply #1854 on:** July 12, 2015, 01:57:54 pm »

Federer needs to win the first set imo.

Twelfth Man · « **Reply #1855 on:** July 12, 2015, 01:58:14 pm »

Come on Roger! I do feel nervous watching Andy though.

S · « **Reply #1856 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:01:23 pm »

I said it last year too, but I really think this is Federer's last Wimbledon final. Hope he takes it.

Melbred · « **Reply #1857 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:05:26 pm »

Come on Fed.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #1858 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:07:57 pm »

Andrew Castle (sigh). Mark Petchey is far superior as a commentator.

Haha mate I'd prefer to the BBC team than the Aussie commentators we're getting down here. They're too busy plugging Australia's Davis Cup match against Kazakhstan to even bother providing insightful commentary on this match.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #1860 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:22:21 pm »

Andrew Castle is a twat. I remember his commentary when Dimitrov won Queens, it was absolutely nauseating, he's awful.

S · « **Reply #1861 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:22:51 pm »

Controversial opinion here.

I don't mind Andrew Castle...

Federal breaks -!f anything he's looking even stronger than he did against Murray, absolutely came racing out the blocks here.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #1865 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:30:02 pm »

As they always say, a break is only a break if you then hold your serve.

Jinxed it

Great shot to win that last point by Djokovic.

Haha! But of course you can never ever write off Djokovic, the man has a superhuman quality to come back against anyone. Not that I'm writing anyone off - very early in the game to say who will win, but I fancy Federer to do it one last time.

Chakan · « **Reply #1868 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:36:57 pm »

Well that was a pointless 3 games.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #1869 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:49:26 pm »

That game there is the difference between Djokovic and the way Murray played in the semi final. Djokovic was faultless on those break points.

johnsmithlfc · « **Reply #1870 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:50:06 pm »

Just ridiculous

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #1871 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:52:24 pm »

Unreal from Djokovic. Just utterly ridiculous tennis.

Novak on fire at the moment

OzBomber · « **Reply #1873 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:52:52 pm »

Don't think I saw Federer frame a single shot against Murray.

Novak putting him under so much more pressure that he can't hit the ball anywhere near as cleanly.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #1874 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:54:39 pm »

Fucks sake.

Circa1892 · « **Reply #1875 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:55:06 pm »

Djokovic moved up a few gears there - but no denying the fact Federer was awful in that tiebreak.

Fruity · « **Reply #1876 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:55:09 pm »

not often federer loses his head but almost gave up there

Sir Psycho Sexy · « **Reply #1877 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:56:04 pm »

Huge set for Novak after going a break down and facing a set point

Keita Success · « **Reply #1878 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:57:29 pm »

Said that Murray vs. Federer was a battle for runner up. See nothing to change my opinion.

Chakan · « **Reply #1879 on:** July 12, 2015, 02:57:31 pm »

Just couldn't close it out for Fed.
