Final......heart is for a Federer final winning swan song but the head says not to be!!!
FIFY.
Same here, head says Djokovic should win, but heart says Federer. I think Federer needs to get it done in 3 or 4 sets and also take the first set (he has only ever beaten Djokovic once in their meetings when he has failed to take the first set). If it goes 5 sets, then it favours Djokovic.
If it follows last year's final, then who wins the second serve battle will be key to the match and will win the match. Djokovic was supreme in this department last year and really got the better of Federer's second serve. But if Federer can keep up his serving performance of Friday, then he has a great chance. His serving performance on Friday is the best I've seen from him because Murray is one of the top 3 returners on the tour; to give him only one break point chance the entire match was extraordinary. However, Djokovic is probably the best returner in the history of the game, so Federer will have to serve just as well and even better.
I do like how Federer is really mixing up his game this Wimbledon, serving wide and volleying and also staying back. It is the only way he will beat Djokovic, as staying back all the time will only favour Novak.
If Federer can win today, I think it will really cement his place as the GOAT. Not only to win his eighth Wimbledon, but to beat the calibre of opponents back to back in Murray and Novak at the age of 33, on the greatest court in tennis is unprecedented. Anyway, my finger nails will surely be bitten to the stump after this match.
