Novak calls for trainer.
Djokovic's won. But what a game....Well done Djokovic...:clap: :clap: :clap:
And Federer...kudos man...:clap: :clap:
Bravo Djokovic. You had to fight against two opponents ( partisan crowd ). Bravo
That's got to be one of the all time best finals. Djoko's serve game was like an impenetrable wall and that was the key ultimately...in the fifth set when it mattered most. Fed simply couldn't break through and finally tired and gave up.
Congratulations to Novak Djokovic; Wimbledon Champion and #1 in the Emirates ATP Rankings! :)
How The Wimbledon Final Was Won

Congrats Novak. Well fought Roger. Now I don't bel18ve.
I have my hopes up for the US open. For a nearly 33 year old to have showed up the way he did, I really do think it would be a folly to write him off. Lets see. And by the way he teared up again during the presentaion
Big four remain free of danger, says Federer
Bulgaria's Dimitrov, 23, and Canada's Raonic, 23, made it to their first Grand Slam semi-finals at Wimbledon, but both came up short against Djokovic and Federer respectively. "I don't feel a huge threat from them. There's many good players from 5 or 6 to 20. But they're also somewhat exchangeable from 30 or 40," Federer said. In contrast, Nadal won his first Grand Slam aged 19, Federer at 21 and Djokovic at 20. "We all made the breakthrough much earlier than most of the guys," Federer said. "Rafa was incredible as a teenager. I was better at 21. That's when I started to make my rise. "The other guys we're talking about are all 22, 23 and have been already on tour for five years."

Winning a Battle of the Mind, Not to Mention the Backhands
-By Craig O'Shannessy, The New York Times, July 7, 2014
Djokovic defeated Roger Federer, 6-7 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-4, in a high-quality final, overcoming adversity that would send most tennis players to their knees.
It could have easily gone Federer’s way. He clawed back from 2-5 in the fourth set to rattle off five straight games, saving a match point along the way with an ace, and he had all the momentum with one set to play and the crowd roaring its support of his attempt to win an eighth title.
Djokovic could have gone away, as he said he did last month in the French Open final against Rafael Nadal. Not this time.
It was a victory of the mind and also a victory in strategy. Federer dominated the majority of the offensive totals, but Djokovic locked down two important defensive categories: the battle of backhands and second serves.
