Federer has to like what he sees whenever he makes Djokovic run.

Edit: or not anymore?

Why is Djokovic so despised here? Don't get me wrong I want Federer to win but I don't follow tennis very closely and don't know where the hatred comes from. He kinda looks weird sometimes I guess.

Difference is Djokovic is an unlikeable drug cheat and definitely uses gluten free EPO which boils my blood.

Moaner who plays boring (relatively) tennis with an annoying entourage. Also, when you’ve decided who you like, their enemies are automatically despised.

There are a number of legitimate reasons to dislike Djokovic (Serbian nationalist who's made some ugly comments about Kosovo; is supportive of violent thug Gimelstob; plays fairly unexciting tennis; is insecure and desperate to be loved, which is a turnoff; is/was probably a doper - but they likely all are), but the biggest one is probably that he keeps beating the players people liked before he showed up.

I have never despised him, but he's always been my least favorite of the big 4, and his recent comments about the Gimelstob case were frankly disgusting and pushed my opinion of him into the gutter, for good.

fifth set, time to try to watch

i assume actual tennis fans love the 5-set matches but they're tough for dirty casuals

and i didnt know that about djokovic, too bad but unsurprising i guess

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
I like Federer more I guess for legend building purposes, but you can't deny Djokovic's cool spaghetti limbs. He's like the inflatable tube man of tennis.

I do like how Djokovic faded and came back. Federer seems to have been winning the tactical points (his stats are better in this match) but Djokovic has been winning the strategic ones

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
[Djokovic] has become one of Gimelstob’s leading allies in tennis, and while Gimelstob was facing a criminal charge, they worked closely together to defeat Chris Kermode in March in his unsuccessful attempt to extend his contract as the ATP’s executive chairman and president. The ATP Player Council was deeply divided on that issue, which was ultimately decided by a vote of the board.

“I wanted to look Novak in the eye, and the two most important things I wanted to say were first thank you and second to apologize,” Gimelstob said.

For being Serbian Novak has more in common with Slobodan Praljak in that we always celebrate when they choke.
