The greatest.

Unbelievable. Roger the Great.

Wow, what a match. Thought he was gone. Won last 5 games of 5th set, incredible to break rafa twice.

And Iā€™m spent!

Woooooo

The greatest of all time. What a champion.

Bit early on that yet but Iā€™d imagine he will be when he is finished

Fck fkn yeah ffs!

I like how Roger didnā€™t think that was in. He was ready for the next point!

Federer is absolutely rapt.

Seems this one was really really important to him.

I called it a few years ago.

Good call by me?

Rafa in trouble on serve all the way through the fifth set. The turning point was the first point of the 6th game, a long rally in which Fed prevailled. That was confirmed by him also winning the longest rally of the match. Once he broke back, his own service game was a breeze.

Well done Fed Ex = GOAT.

Free Spirit please take note.

Federer nearly at the end, Novak still with 6 years to go possibly, canā€™t see any reason why he canā€™t win another 8-10 titles in that time.
Rafa wonā€™t catch him but reckon he has 3-4 French titles left in him also

So glad for him

These Rafa matches clearly do his head in and finally he got the job done.

Rafa is unbelievably tough

Good to see Serena and Federer finally have some success.

No complaints here, Rafa was poor and was lucky Federer didn't finish him earlier. Probably the last time we will see Rafa in a final other than the French

Didnt think he was poor.

I reckon itā€™s worth putting a hundred on him now for the French, tbh.

Id think all things being equal - Novak, Murray etc- its probably Feds last shot at the Slam titles.

Possibly right. I personally hope they all finish on 18.

Rafa in unbelievably tough

Hoodoos are there to be broken. Was always going to be a day when Federer would get revenge. Unfortunately for Rafa his serve wilted under pressure and he was given a lesson tonight

Rafa was cooked tonight, first big tournament back and the Dimitrov match killed him. Only Federerā€™s errors stopped it being a rout, Federer by far the better player tonight

Kia never been to an Essendon gameā€¦ best fans in the worldā€¦

Spend an evening on this board!
