Novak is to tennis what Kasparov is to chess right now. He varies the speed at which he hits the ball so much that Federer is totally caught off guard when Novak goes slow, slow, quick, slow, quick with his returns. This makes Federer frustrated and he estimates poorly how hard he's supposed to hit the ball back and ends up getting out many times.
There is some truth in your words , but what about Monfils and David Ferer who is in lifetime form , what are they are traying to experience . About various shots Fed traying to see Nole's respond the simple answer is Fed looking for his answer almost whole 2011 and if he's going to do the same this year Nole slam is on horizon ... and before all Fed hates to lose any tennis match he plays and especialy against him, Nole will win AO again simple as that . Rafa's destiniy 2011 smiles to Fed 2012
@pantacar88 whatta a faggot are you! he's been the most CONSISTENT PLAYER in the LAST TEN YEARS, always finishing in top ten! THIS IS AN EXHIBITION, not a GRAND SLAM!
What happened today against the injured Nadal? Yes, we know, Federer fans will always come up with new excuses like Nadal wasn't that injured, he could play 100 % and Federer was just trying to be a gentleman like he always is by letting him winning the game,XD!If he lose, then he wasn't in the mood to play against his opponents, you know guys!But Federer wins then he still proves that no one can beat him! Yeah,this shows anything and no one matters that Federer hasn't won a slam for two years!
I also want to point out the ridiculousness of the comments that Roger doesn't know how to entertain the fans. Throughout his entire career he has amazed the crowds with his shotmaking, and many times he goes all out to ensure that the fans get a great match, even when he is not feeling his best. But this is an exho.
..okay, maybe in an MS final is could happen, but if anyone remembers back to the kooyong tennis final with federer against roddick, federer served and volleyed on almost every ball. This is not indicative of what federer will be like. Doha will be a much better indication of where his tennis is at. People thinking an exhibition tournament to a 30 year old is gonna matter even as much as a 500 tournament, I personally think, are mistaken.
are people really being serious about the results of this match?? It is an EXHIBITION tournament. Now saying that, in recent years, particularly nadal and murray, have taken these matches very seriously, but they are the exceptions. I'm not saying federer should have beaten djokovic or visa versa, but for players like federer or older players of the 90's they use these for easy money and a chance to play, get practised, and have some fun, would this have happened in a GS or MS final......
@Peaches1822 for federer its not for the easy money. He's wearing his gold rolex which prob cost more than the prize money and its not serious just get tune up for the AO and test the new racquet like u said
Well, tbh what happened today against Nadal? Federer lost clearly and I'm expecting more excuses than before! Federer will be better at the AO, but it will be very hard to keep up with the best players like Djokovic, Nadal and Murray!
You can clearly see Federer is far from his normal peformance. His moving and shots tell all how focused he was. Its funny how comentator is underestimate great Federer. Everyone how think Federer gave everything knows nothing about tennis.
I think Federer's belly was still full of Christmas food. Djokovic doesn't have a problem with that since the Orthodox Christians celebrate their Christmas on 7th of January ;)
And also, Roger apologized to the crowd for his performance, so that's another point against the "never cared about the fans" theory. Also take into consideration that Djokovic was rusty vs Monfils and won a tough match, but Fed was coming into this cold with no match play in a month. A full-form Novak is not exactly the guy you want to play in your first match back and it will sure as hell not be like that in the AO should they meet.
@3timeMVPNash in case you didnt know Federer has won Final Masteres last month.... while Djokovic was in in very bad shape three months after US Open where he def. Roger
Second: Djokovic and Monfis played very entertaining match where Gael knew he couldn't def. Novak, they were playing fo fun.AND this match was like any other ranked match on the tour, they played their best and Djokovic won without , giving Federer chance to do anything, im looking forward to Novak desstroying Roger on AUS.open
@GamEleON1 Wait, are you saying they played their best? Maybe Djokovic did, but Fed certainly did not. He couldn't care less, and this whole exho is no way indicative of RF's play in Doha or AO. Exhos are supposed to be warmups, fun, whatever, and Djokovic was going all out where Roger was clearly not.
@3timeMVPNash I'M ACTUALLY GLAD MY SWISS COMPATRIOTS AREN'T THAT FANATICS. THEY'RE LIKE ME PROUD OF FEDERER,BUT NOT VISIONARY TO SEE THAT HE DIDN'T WIN A MAJOR SINCE TWO YEARS. AND YES,UNLIKE FOREIGN FEDERER FANS, MY SWISS COMPATRIOTS ARE PROUD OF THEIR OWN PLAYER UNLIKE FOREIGN FANS WHO PRIMP THEMSELVES WITH A FOREIGN PLAYER.AND YES,MY SWISS COMPATRIOTS AREN'T SILLY TO RECOGNIZE TO SEE THAT PLAYERES LIKE DJOKOVIC AND NADAL ARE BETTER RIGHT NOW AND FED'S BEST DAYS ARE OVER!I SUPPORTED ND AND RF!
@serbianpupil You don't seem to be getting what I'm saying. Nobody is making excuses for Fed losing this exho. Nobody is saying "Djoko would have lost if Fed was trying." We are talking about Federer and Federer only about his standard of play. We just wanted him to play better, but we know that Djokovic is undoubtedly the best player right now.
@3timeMVPNash Sorry if I bothered you in some way. That's actually not my goal to be honest. But I often Federer fans excusing everything like the enormous loss against Nadal in 2008. Somebody has written that he had a mono, lol, that's why he lost 6-1, 6-3 and 6-0 in FO against Nadal.Funny thing is also that I could come up with excuses like Djokovic wasn't gluten free, that's only why Fed and Nadal dominated.But you see what happened now when he's gluten free.I don't do that and I'm not stupid
@serbianpupil That FO final was just a matter of Nadal at his peak on clay - nobody would have beaten him. Sure Federer wasn't at his best but it's hard for him to be when Nadal is playing that well on clay. I've also seen many Nadal fans make "excuses" for his losses though. Madrid 2009 it was because he played a "4 hour match with Djoko" (which was 59 minutes of actual tennis." Late season losses are because he is tired, etc....
@3timeMVPNash To be honest, the late seasons loses are probably cuz Nadal is tired, but no way, Federer dominated him in London, no doubt. But now you can see that Djokovic was very tired and not 100 % healthy. Let's be honest, Ferrer tried his best two days ago which he admitted, but he just said it simply :"I was fighting, but against this Djokovic it's for everyone difficult to win." And he won against Djokovic in London. Yeah, we know what a healthy Djokovic is able to do!
@serbianpupil You are fanatics fan too. tired, injury, late seasons.. You always make an excuse. for Novak or nadal. But when Roger Federer loses. You insult Roger Federer always. When Roger and pete were the age of the heyday. They won the victory in GS and won the victory also in the ATP final. If they defeat continues in the late season. Did someone say? "He was tired in the late season" Like a you? And Roger Federer is an 30-years-old old player now. Novak or nadal are heyday now.
@cheaterNadal I've just read Swiss Newspaper. They came to the conclusion that Federer wins when he's two opponents like Djokovic are tired or Nadal's shoulder damaged. They came up to the conclusion that he has only two weeks to get at his best and the time is slipping away. Well, doesn't really speaks for him but don't come up with any excuses if he lose what it is to except to be honest.
@cheaterNadal I've just said what I've written in Swiss Newspaper cuz I live here I get to know more about him then you probably do. I live in Switzerland and I rely on Swiss Newspapers cuz they don't write silly things. It's the things they've written. I could even sent you the link of this Newspaper, but it won't help you that much considering that you don't speak German. But yeah, you can come up with these excuses if you like and I don't care if you all spam my comment again.
@cheaterNadal Lol, are you kidding me? I said he played well, Nadal was injured. A healthy Nadal would have a chance, but this doesn't mean he wouldn't have lost either. So Fed deserved to win.And don't forget that Federer is 6 respectively 5 years older than Djokovic and Nadal.We'll see how it looks at the end, but I think Fed stays the GOAT. And now what's your point?No one cares about this and you have to admit that this Djokovic is now the best.No need to bring up excuses!
@serbianpupil And, Roger Federer was at the time of the heyday in 2005. The Achilles tendon of the ankle was cut. He had attached gypsum about two months. soon, he lost to David in the ATP finals. Although Roger Federer from 2008 was a slump clearly from sickness influence. The nadal fan was only pleased with his victory. And present Federer is the 30-year-old old player who already passed the peak. Add. All the players have an injury and a sick slump. Fact. But you said excuse always.
@cheaterNadal Well, first of all. No need to fight. In the end no one cares about this. Well, I'm sure he'd lost against Nadal in FO cuz Nadal was way better. Result was 6-3, 6-1, 6-0. Federer admitted and I saw his interview on Swiss TV. But yeah, alright, if you think you should excuse your player, then do it. OK!
@serbianpupil lol. I'm sure nadal lost against Federer in ATP finals cuz Roger was way better. 6-3, 6-0. Roger Federer is the 6 times champion of ATP finals. Record. Sampras 5 won. Novak 1 won. Davydenko 1 won. nadal 0
@cheaterNadal Cool, now your new name is cheaterNadal. Cool to see how you're obsessed with insulting Nadal when he doesn't care about you,, is way more succesful and you won't reach anything he reached. Cool, keep on like this. Disrespecting others and cheering up your own man. Hope you meet Nadal face to face and so he could kick your ass. Even Federer is ashamed of such fans!
@cheaterNadal Nadal raped Federer's ass for the 18th time and Djokovic managed to win the AO. Keep on hating on Nadal. But enviousness is recognition!
@3timeMVPtrash Novak wont lose his number 1 spot so u can go kill youself now, and do us all a favour since your gaylover wont win another slam ever again.
@3timeMVPNash I couldn't agree more, though I think fed could still lose just as easy (nadal in miami is a prime example), people need to realise this is an exhibition event, plain and simple. The prize is 250K, which to players like david ferrer, (though he never needs to worry about money) is worth the full effort, where to players like federer it just doesn't warrant the effort that djokovic put in given his #1 target is the AO
@3timeMVPNash Lol, I'm not wondering you're coming up with new excuses. Federer fanatics won't learn it! Why did he lost against the injured Nadal? I mean that's not a big deal to win against him when he was even injured. And yes, you've said we should give everyone credit who has beaten the tired and injured Djokovic cuz they were better! Djokovic and Ferrer played yesterday a real match everyone giving his best! Djokovic destroyed him literally! We see what a healthy Djokovic can do!
@serbianpupil Get it through your head, this is EXHIBITION. The results do not matter. They are in no way indicative of what the results will be in Australia in a few weeks.
@3timeMVPNash BUT WHY DID HE LOSE AGAINST AN INJURED NADAL? I DON'T GIVE THIS TOURNAMENT THAT MUCH CREDIT, BUT'S THAT'S SO TYPICAL FOR FEDERER FANATICS, HE ISN'T NOT EVEN FROM YOUR COUNTRY, HE'S ACTUALLY FROM MINE BUT I'M REASONABLE THAT HE NEEDS A LOT TO BEAT DJOKOVIC AND NADAL OR IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! I REMEMBER FEDERER LOSING 2008 6-1, 6-3 AND 6-0 IN THE FO AGAINST NADAL! EXCUSES WERE THE SAME, FED FANS SAID HE WASN'T AT HIS BEST AND COULD HAVE EASILY BEATEN NADAL AFTER THIS RESULT.
I guess we should berate all guys on tour who lose 62 61 in MEANINGFUL matches just because they lost that badly? You gotta understand that the level of play from Federer will greatly increase in the Australian Open and this is in no way indicative of ANYTHING.
There are some really ridiculous statements in these comments. Doesn't care about the crowd? He's the most beloved athlete in the world and he certainly cares about the crowd? And it's not that he put this aside as a "beatdown" match where he isn't "trying," but he's not going to strain himself to compete with a guy that is going 100% when the match means NOTHING.
It is ridicules that crowd go for him even he does not interact with the crowd at all.
Watch US open 11 SF or US open 10 SF or US open 09 SF and Final, and you will see what I’m talking about.
I was big fan of Federer until he started losing and showing his real nature. Djokovic and other players (Del Porto…) desrevs extra credit for their achievements as they play under incredible pressure.
People like @TheDanielBato are the totally brain dead idiots who say people should feel ashamed of themselves and are pathetic for losing a "tennis match." Its bad enough making juvenile comments like this when it comes to big tournaments but when its an exhibition like this its just plain laughable. These people need to learn to put things into perspective when slating some of the greatest ambassadors and sportsmen in the world of sport. Get a grip you absolute moron of a human being!
@warin11 And look who needs to get a grip. 90% of your comment was built up with personal attacks and it fails to present a valid and reasonable response.
Minus the attitude then maybe you'll get your point across one day..
He didn't even think about the other players that possibly wanted to play this exhibition. If you're going to put up a mediocre performance like that, then you deserve to be
He didn't even think about the other players that possibly wanted to play this exhibition. If you're going to put up a mediocre performance like that, then you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
To not take a professional tennis match seriously is plain pathetic, and as I stated just before, others would be jumping at this opportunity!
@MegaInzaghi9 Haha, bez komentara, najbolje jos stoj iza Federera, bez obzira sto je stranac ili ne! Mada mi znamo da je ovo bilo zagrejavanja, ali u ovoj formi bi Djokovic pobedijo Federa bez obzira na sve. Federer je najbolji teniser svih vremena, to i ja najbolje znam sto i ovde zivim u Svajcarskoj, ali to ne znaci da ne moze niko da ga pobedi, makar je Djokovic ubedljivo to pokazao u prethodnoj sezone, pa ga cak pobedio 6 puta u 5 meceva sa ovim mecom sada!
so you are saying Novak won because he does not have a family ? what???? wow best excuse so far ... then why would Fed play this tournament every year ?
@Andre227 no im not saying that novak djokovic won because of this im saying that clearly you can see federer not bothering for this tournament and i tell you the reason why he didnt bother
I saw the game, Federer simply did not forced himself, don't know why, but he was just barely running, not concentrated, he simply let Djokovic do his game.
Djokovic took this very seriously and played an excellent match.
Federer took it semi-seriously but played really awful.
Definitely NOT the sort of form he was looking to exhibit so close to Australian Open...can't see him winning Qatar if he is playing like this...
I thought I read recently that Federer wants to WIN the australian open...no chance in hell if he plans to play this way...far too easy for Djokovic...
@AlphaDraconis7 It's an exhibition match. Novak was taking it seriously because he needs to find form after the terrible end to 2011. Fed knows its there and he's not going to strain himself on a match that doesn't mean anything.
@3timeMVPNash Wrong! Novak Djokovic didn't need to play his best against such a Federer! Of course I don't give Djokovic much credit for this win, but again, you mustn't lose so clearly and especially not when you're the best player of all time! I think Djokovic gonna beat Federer in AO whether Federer plays his best or not, Djokovic at his best is very hard to beat!
MAN...so disappointed with Federer's performance in this one.
OK...it's only an exhibition, but I was hoping for him to take it a bit more seriously.
To me...it looks as though he tried hard in the first set, saw that Djokovic was playing well, then hardly tried in the 2nd set..almost accepted defeat. Very unlike Federer....
@fedsanity It's very strange that Federer fans are always searching for excuses when he loose! Today he lost against a much better Djokovic. But why not complaining when Federer wins? Why not complaining about the first four games when it was all square?
personally, I don't care for the results of exhibitions, they're all just there for the money anyway to hit and giggle and get a check. But the result of the australian open will be telling of the kind of year roger and djokovic will have
drugari mislim da nema potrebe biti nekulturan . da nas ne mrze jos vise . malo li je sto ih nole pegla ovako a mi uzivamo. ocete li opet neke sankcije da nam zavedu . hahaha NOLEEE KRALJUUUUUUU
it's one thing to play bad but it's a shame that roger did not even try. sure, he's 30, he does not need to give 100% in every match but roger did not even try to give a mere 50%! totally disappointed.. nole did not play at his limit because with a roger playing this bad there is no need to. hopefully next week will be better!
Well,I'm not wondering that at least some guys come up with excuses like Federer wasn't interested in this match,lol,how funny this is!If you're interesting or not,you mustn't lose 6-2, 6-1.It may be an exhibition match,but Djokovic dominated it.That's a punch in Fed's face!This proves that Djokovic is ready for more.And for all the kids and the fanatics out there.The first five games were smooth and that's why you don't try to excuse this! Not much credit for this game, but it was still great!
You could see Roger wasn't interested in this match , he has bigger things to win like Doha in a few days which his the defending champion , Novak is only playing Abu until the australian open so of couse he would play 100% , + Roger was rusty from his first game back , Novak was rusty last night against Monfils , + Doha is a atp tourament you get points and ranking points for that Abu you don't so Rogers only using this game so he can have a match under his beltwish them both the best of luck ,
justify anyway u want roger´s lost....exhibition or not he played bad and djokovic destroyed him all the way..sorry but accept it roger CAN play bad is not a damn god as u belive
Nole es el Mejor jugador NOLE <3<3<3<3<3<3 NUMERO 1 DE EL MUNDO SI Q SI

@cheaterNadal Lol, are you kidding me? I said he played well, Nadal was injured. A healthy Nadal would have a chance, but this doesn't mean he wouldn't have lost either. So Fed deserved to win.And don't forget that Federer is 6 respectively 5 years older than Djokovic and Nadal.We'll see how it looks at the end, but I think Fed stays the GOAT. And now what's your point?No one cares about this and you have to admit that this Djokovic is now the best.No need to bring up excuses!

@serbianpupil And, Roger Federer was at the time of the heyday in 2005. The Achilles tendon of the ankle was cut. He had attached gypsum about two months. soon, he lost to David in the ATP finals. Although Roger Federer from 2008 was a slump clearly from sickness influence. The nadal fan was only pleased with his victory. And present Federer is the 30-year-old old player who already passed the peak. Add. All the players have an injury and a sick slump. Fact. But you said excuse always.

@cheaterNadal Well, first of all. No need to fight. In the end no one cares about this. Well, I'm sure he'd lost against Nadal in FO cuz Nadal was way better. Result was 6-3, 6-1, 6-0. Federer admitted and I saw his interview on Swiss TV. But yeah, alright, if you think you should excuse your player, then do it. OK!

@cheaterNadal Cool, now your new name is cheaterNadal. Cool to see how you're obsessed with insulting Nadal when he doesn't care about you,, is way more succesful and you won't reach anything he reached. Cool, keep on like this.

@3timeMVPNash I couldn't agree more, though I think fed could still lose just as easy (nadal in miami is a prime example), people need to realise this is an exhibition event, plain and simple. The prize is 250K, which to players like david ferrer, (though he never needs to worry about money) is worth the full effort, where to players like federer it just doesn't warrant the effort that djokovic put in given his #1 target is the AO

@3timeMVPNash Lol, I'm not wondering you're coming up with new excuses. Federer fanatics won't learn it! Why did he lost against the injured Nadal? I mean that's not a big deal to win against him when he was even injured. And yes, you've said we should give everyone credit who has beaten the tired and injured Djokovic cuz they were better! Djokovic and Ferrer played yesterday a real match everyone giving his best! Djokovic destroyed him literally! We see what a healthy Djokovic can do!

@3timeMVPNash BUT WHY DID HE LOSE AGAINST AN INJURED NADAL? I DON'T GIVE THIS TOURNAMENT THAT MUCH CREDIT, BUT'S THAT'S SO TYPICAL FOR FEDERER FANATICS, HE ISN'T NOT EVEN FROM YOUR COUNTRY, HE'S ACTUALLY FROM MINE BUT I'M REASONABLE THAT HE NEEDS A LOT TO BEAT DJOKOVIC AND NADAL OR IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! I REMEMBER FEDERER LOSING 2008 6-1, 6-3 AND 6-0 IN THE FO AGAINST NADAL! EXCUSES WERE THE SAME, FED FANS SAID HE WASN'T AT HIS BEST AND COULD HAVE EASILY BEATEN NADAL AFTER THIS RESULT.

I guess we should berate all guys on tour who lose 62 61 in MEANINGFUL matches just because they lost that badly? You gotta understand that the level of play from Federer will greatly increase in the Australian Open and this is in no way indicative of ANYTHING.

There are some really ridiculous statements in these comments. Doesn't care about the crowd? He's the most beloved athlete in the world and he certainly cares about the crowd? And it's not that he put this aside as a "beatdown" match where he isn't "trying," but he's not going to strain himself to compete with a guy that is going 100% when the match means NOTHING.

It is ridicules that crowd go for him even he does not interact with the crowd at all.
Watch US open 11 SF or US open 10 SF or US open 09 SF and Final, and you will see what I’m talking about.
I was big fan of Federer until he started losing and showing his real nature. Djokovic and other players (Del Porto…) desrevs extra credit for their achievements as they play under incredible pressure.

something to consider:
Federer lost in Abu Dhabi in 2010, Kooyong in 2007, Kooyong in 2006, and Kooyong in 2004 before going on to win the Australian Open.
The only times Federer ever won an exo prior to the Australian Open (Kooyong in 2009 and Kooyong in 2005) he failed to win the AO.
just sayin :)

People like @TheDanielBato are the totally brain dead idiots who say people should feel ashamed of themselves and are pathetic for losing a "tennis match." Its bad enough making juvenile comments like this when it comes to big tournaments but when its an exhibition like this its just plain laughable.

Federer je najbolji teniser svih vremena, to i ja najbolje znam sto i ovde zivim u Svajcarskoj, ali to ne znaci da ne moze niko da ga pobedi, makar je Djokovic ubedljivo to pokazao u prethodnoj sezone, pa ga cak pobedio 6 puta u 5 meceva sa ovim mecom sada!

Djokovic took this very seriously and played an excellent match.
Federer took it semi-seriously but played really awful.
Definitely NOT the sort of form he was looking to exhibit so close to Australian Open...can't see him winning Qatar if he is playing like this...
I thought I read recently that Federer wants to WIN the australian open...no chance in hell if he plans to play this way...far too easy for Djokovic...

@AlphaDraconis7 It's an exhibition match. Novak was taking it seriously because he needs to find form after the terrible end to 2011. Fed knows its there and he's not going to strain himself on a match that doesn't mean anything.

@3timeMVPNash Wrong! Novak Djokovic didn't need to play his best against such a Federer! Of course I don't give Djokovic much credit for this win, but again, you mustn't lose so clearly and especially not when you're the best player of all time! I think Djokovic gonna beat Federer in AO whether Federer plays his best or not, Djokovic at his best is very hard to beat!

MAN...so disappointed with Federer's performance in this one.
OK...it's only an exhibition, but I was hoping for him to take it a bit more seriously.
To me...it looks as though he tried hard in the first set, saw that Djokovic was playing well, then hardly tried in the 2nd set..almost accepted defeat. Very unlike Federer....

You could see Roger wasn't interested in this match , he has bigger things to win like Doha in a few days which his the defending champion , Novak is only playing Abu until the australian open so of couse he would play 100% , + Roger was rusty from his first game back , Novak was rusty last night against Monfils , + Doha is a atp tourament you get points and ranking points for that Abu you don't so Rogers only using this game so he can have a match under his beltwish them both the best of luck ,
