@raoulhery thats the up open, this is the aussie open....

Djokovic played well and dominated the rallies in this game. But it's also true that Roger made SO MANY unforced errors, not forced errors, around 27 unforced errors per set. That is far too many. Also, all the grand slam tournaments' surfaces are slower compared to 5 years ago. Even wimbledon is slower and that hurts Roger's game. If surfaces would go back to traditional speeds, I believe you'll see the gap between Roger and everyone open again. But, Djokovic played very well.

@sultanabran1 I disagree. It's been discussed many times on Talk Tennis. It's more of the balls and Fed fans that complain about why he is losing.

[cavaleer]

@sultanabran1 Djoker forced him in to those "unforced" errors. He can't handle Djoker's pace from the baseline in long rallies, esp. BH to BH, and Djoker punishes his weaker shots, all of which leaves Fed with few options. If you look at the unforced errors you'll see a predominance of them coming off Fed's BH. That's why you saw him try the baseline dropshot- unsuccessfully. To beat Djoker he needs to come to the net more and go for his winners and approach shots earlier in the rallies.

I have to say, I really like how Djokovic has matured over the past year. He used to be really cocky and arrogant and that made a lot of people dislike him. It's nice to see that he's much more humble and respectful now, similar to Roger and Rafa.

[sasook]

@Globox822 Uhh I dunno about you, but I know a lot of people thought it was pretty cocky of him to do a shirtless interview after he won his semi at the AO '08. Not to mention all his comments about how he had just beaten the world No. 1 and his mom declaring "the king is dead" and all that....pretty cocky to me.

As for Fed being arrogant, I won't deny there's been a couple times it's happened, but I don't believe it happens nearly as often as people make it out to be. Or else...

[overratednadal]

@Globox822 why nadal's fan are always arrogant annoying blind? like you.

[overratednadal]

@Globox822 nadal is selfish and huge ego player. Always get huge money. game is played in many EX. goes final by almost all tournaments. But, it is a complaint to a schedule always?

[overratednadal]

Nadal criticized Sampras and past players as it having been a time of only a serve. arrogant smug. Nadal has always selfish of two-year-ranking.

[sasook]

@Globox822 ...he wouldn't have won the Edberg Sportmanship Award 7 times now.

[overratednadal]

@Globox822 fake time-out. gamesmanship. always exaggerated annoying information of self condition. too noisy always. ugly protest. etc. arrogant blind fans. sucks

[devic007]

Rafa has both talent and muscles; Roger has both talent and experience; but, Novak has talent and brain! Muscles, you can build on; experience, you can gain. But brain, this is something you are born with.

@devic007 Rubbish

[demosj]

@devic007 That sounds like you're trying to make a really nice-sounding quote but is really you just making up stuff.

[sgtthriller]

"It's not the will to win that makes the winner, it's will to prepere!"

Great job, Novak ♥

Now, come on and pick up this AO trophy, again! :D ♥

[pek707]

Bravo - for winning such a tennis player as Roger is, in three sets and for the answers at the press conference. I like his protective attitude towards Ana. We have praised him too much (although everything we write is true) but I am afraid that we will jinx him (pu pu pu) ;-) (Andy M is  great player too and he is in very good shape).

[smoki723]

Bravo Nole - you are the man. Not just great tennis player - great personality (good, charming, clever guy).

[gomagazinebcn]

[federerbestclass]

@dulisha I love Roger very much. He is true class player. true greatest player. I know. Now He is an old player. But, I don't care. I always love him. And, I like Novak. also great player. good luck

[federerbestclass]

@dulisha Roger's comment? after this match. Roger said. [ My play was good. However, Novak did better play. Today, He was better than me. I feeling good and healthy. great last year for me. I wishes that it be so also this year ]

He answers in sincerity.always. To a foolish and stupid question

[federerbestclass]

congrat Novak. great job

[whynot0224]

Thanks for beating Roger, Novak! You're the GOAT! You and Andy need to help Rafael put the final nail in Roger's long, awaited, and overdue coffin! Send him into retirement this year!!!!
