Mirka is stressed!

She shouldn't be. She has 2 sets of twins ready to overtake tennis in the near future.

She can't even look.

Those people that yell out when a player is about to serve need to be taken out back and shot.

US Open crowd is notorious for this. Americans don't give any dambs.

Shaky first set and missed opportunities to break cost Roger the match. He really needed that one set lead to have any hope.

Still, as poor as he played, Novak was relentless. Not a fan, but he deserves the highest of praise and respect. Definitely in the conversation of GOAT.

@JoeClear

Congrats to your boy. Much deserved and as @illmaticsoulchild and I said before, he's definitely in the convo for GOAT when his career is all done.

The sad part is that we'll just keep getting Fed/Djoko finals when these other dudes should be stepping it up. Stan and them, I'm looking at you.

 

[ahuangtoronto]

Heartbreaking for Fed.

Again, congratulations to Novak.

 

[thadangerousmind]

I think Novak catches Fed in the next 2 years. Both Rafa and Fed will be gone by then. I don't see anybody else stopping him barring some unexplained lapses in concentration.

 

[otakuant]

Welp, there's always Wimbledon...

Congrats to Nole!!! #10, baby!

I wouldn't count Nadal out just yet, especially if he switches up his play.

Djoko definitely has a stranglehold on the game. Can Stan be his next big rival or nah?

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Your *** better not be making any "announcements," Roger.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Nadal is done. His spirit is broken and Federer's might be after 3 straight finals losses in a slam to this guy.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Not only Rafa, but I believe if Stan can get his head right, he can be a potential road block for Djoker.

 

[aepps20]

Nole is a beast so proud he overcame Roger and the NY Crowd.

 

[thadangerousmind]

It breaks my heart that this could be 20 if Federer wasn't an old man. He's lost a step. Nobody has out ran Father Time yet.

 

[otakuant]

Phew... I got scared as **** when he asked Fed how he has been able to do it for 18 years.

 

[slighted]

If Fed announced his retirement right then and there, no one would even care Djoko won.

 

[ahuangtoronto]

Hopefully he plays Rogers Cup next year, feel like it may be the last chance for me to see Roger play.

 

[thadangerousmind]

Whew Novak's wife has some chompers. I hope she's extra careful in the sheets with the God.

 

[aepps20]

I'm still convinced that Rafa can still come back on his mental toughness alone. I'm not saying Roger is soft mentally but he does better as a frontrunner.

Agreed, always admired him for that. His style of play is just not good for the long term.

Uncle Toni needs to get him back to the drawing board. Maybe snag an extra coach?

What is that thing that people in the crowd had in their ears is that like a radio or something? It was white and looked like a lanyard
