Much tougher opposition today

that's basically it. Murray has only won 2 Slams, he's never been on the same level as the hardcore trio of Fed, Djoko & Nadal.

Djokovic was able to handle Fed's serve which nobody else could do. That pressure caused Fed to serve poorly as the match went on.

Walking off court: Federer looked like a broken man; Djokovic looked furious still with that crowd.

Great from Djokovic but I still find a 33 year old Federer playing this well at the very top incredible.

His SF against Murray turned back the clock. Unreal performance levels he can still produce. He hasn't been able to turn that into a GS trophy though for years. Grass is his best bet to get another GS, I think he'll be stuck on what he has now (17) when he retires.

there's the duke there, great to see as always

Djok's Mrs is divine. Love her ponytails.

Nadal has 14, he may sneak another couple of clay titles but might just miss out catching Fed. Djoko's on 9 now, I fink...still a big ask to catch 17.

Pity about Nadal's injuries. He'd have surpassed Federer by now. Possibly a result of the way he plays, which isn't exactly economical. Djoko could still do it, but unlikely.

Aye...Nadal can do the cute stuff too but those knees take a mighty pounding on the baseline. I like how Serena Williams mixes her game up enough so that her body can handle the power-side to her game, she's only got one more slam to go before matching our Steffi.

pity he couldn't continue his path to glory via roid rage, had to cover up those arms once his supply dried up, horrible cheating little chimp

Touch for that Federer, you potato-nosed royalist nobhead...and touch for that Wimbledon centre court crowd - choke on your strawberries and cream, you biased Tory tits.

Is right

Gotta say Novak was amazingballs today. Fed played well in patches but just made too many errors and heaped pressure on himself. Novak is at the peak of the game and no one else is near him for the next few years. Its not inconceivable that in 5 years time we could be talking about HIM as the GOAT in terms of majors won.
