    Federer today

    He had Djokovic on the ropes during the 5th set but he could not sense it or he never had the energy to pull the trigger i dont know, but also Novak continue to roll in the 80 mph second serve during whole match but federer continue to use the chip return if he was more agressive this match could have been gone his way. I think this slam got away from federer and he knows it.

    What are you talking about? I might agree with you but this match is probably the very worst example you could possibly use. Djokovic punished his approaches severely (in large due to the quality of Djokovic's defense).

    Slayer, this was never in Federer's hands. Djoker almost choked this match away more times than the entire French Davis cup team. Fed played very well, great at times.
