Wimbledon Final 2014--Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic



Well I was glued to tele yesterday for four/five hours; lost time.
Sadly RF lost. But not without cause. It was a lackluster match. 

RF's racket was not meeting the balls resoundingly like they normally did. He was playing safe and not taking risks.Thus it was a dull match. I will call this Tennis  "A Match of Caution" as I told my grieving niece. 

RF's coach, Stephan Edberg advised him to get to net. But he hardly scored a point there. And yet he kept coming and kept losing points. He was serving badly. His first serves were not getting in. Also the last but one game in fourth set which changed his luck for better was not his win, but Djoko's loss. Djoko gave it away. Once RF's luck changed he put some luster in his strokes. But then, Djoko was too good.  

Sun is setting on RF due to age. I wonder he will come up this far next year. Let us wait and see.

Djoko would have been brilliant had Fed played his usual.
