The first time I watched Federer play was the day I became a tennis fan! His style of play,art of playing as well as the way he makes most difficult thing looks so easy made me like him the more. But come to think of it,Djokovic suffered so much in the hands of both Federer and nadal on his path to greatness,losing to them in both quarterfinals and semifinals of grands slams. But through playing both over the years to the tune of 40 times each,made him study their games and as well build mental strength against them. If you are a true tennis fan you won't find it hard to realise djokovic is the most complete tennis player as I speak. Good serve. Wonderful forehand Strong backhand Strong return of opponents serve. Solid Defense. Flexibility and speed. His style of play,he targets his opponents backhand till they commit error or submit. Now this is where he has an advantage over Federer, as Federer's backhand sometimes let him down. If Federer serves awesome tomorrow with his quality signature backhand on point,then it's a win for him,and that would be a 9th Wimbledon trophy.If not,then djoker would walk away with his 5th Wimbledon trophy. 1 Like

Ovie56: I can only but laugh. I recall hearing this line severally even before he faced Nadal. Today, Nadal's fans are coming up with excuses why he lost. Anyone who knows a thing about tennis and who is truthful to himself will accept that 25-22 H2H is nothing to conclude that the match can't go either way. I predict Federer in 4 sets if not 3. |

dannybrasky:I can't agree more with you. Federer is the reason I started following tennis in early 2006 because of his style. No doubt, Djoko has done tremendously well by overcoming both Nadal and Federer. I can only admire his achievements. Nevertheless, I believe Federer will turn up for the match and do the needful to nick this one from Djokovic. I like the fact that not many is favouring him to win today, he is the underdog just as he was against Nadal. But the old man has got all the tricks to turn the table on Djokovic. |

SillyMods:Well it's still a game anything can happen, Thing is Novak's biggest ability is returning serve, When he successfully makes a return it just nolify the threat in the serve, if you know tennis then you know what im talking about, Fed needs djokovic return game to be poor Now when it comes to backhand Federers back one hand backhand is weak compared to Djokovic that is also a game changer as you can see Nadal's backhand was very poor, all thing equal Novak should come out victorious but then you and i are just predicting |

Ovie56:Abegi. He's just lucky tonight Lots of people are criticizing him already. I wonder why people don't really like him, even the ESPN and BBC commentators were routing for Federer. |
Re: Roger Federer Tops Rafael Nadal In Wimbledon Semifinals by Ovie56(m): 10:27pm On Jul 14, 2019 |
davodyguy:Lol rooting for the opponent has never stop Djokovic, Stop being salty. As for BBC and ESPN the truth is both are unprofessional, as a media house you have to stay neutral, And you know what the reason why they dont like him is because he's from Serbia, he's a geniunely nice person and professional and he never critized his opponents and always give praise where it is due, but you and i we're Nigerians we do not stand to benefit by encouraging xenophobia, i expect you to congratulate the winner, he won fair and square no cheating is involved and at the end of the day its just sport. peace |
