Congrats to Djokovic on another championship. That was a decent, but very frustrating and exhausting match with a sadly predictable outcome. Both were playing far more inconsistently than they usually do. Federer isn't quite able to string together consistent high-quality matches as well as he once did, but I thought he was largely the better player throughout each set (save for the tiebreaks, of course) and that it was mightily impressive how lengthily a 38 year old held on. Had Fed played at the level he did against Nadal, he would have been in a considerably better position today. Still, as a Federer fan, the victory against Nadal was more rewarding than anything I expected coming into this tournament, especially considering Federer's age. Hopefully Federer can make another deep run in the US Open, preferably with a more satisfying result.
