"I have to say, playing against Roger was a huge challenge," Djokovic said. "Many players of my generation looked up to him and followed in his footsteps. Roger made you push your limits, play hard, and fight for every single point."
Federer, as in this year's tournament, served very well and attacked aggressively. The composure and highly technical playing style of the 33-year-old player thrilled the crowd in Center Court. But Djokovic showed the resilience of an "all-powerful machine." His physical strength, power, and stable mentality helped "Djoker" win at crucial moments.
Federer commented: "I had a chance to win the first set, was lucky to win the second, and had another chance in the third. But he played better at the crucial points. I didn't play well at all, but he was incredibly consistent."
"The Express" was in excellent form at Wimbledon this year, losing only one set before reaching the final. Federer's fans had strong faith that he would win his 18th Grand Slam title on July 12th. However, against a Djokovic who was at the peak of his career and in great form, Federer, despite playing well, could do nothing more.
Federer made good use of his strength in net play. The second seed scored 42 points from 58 net approaches. Unexpected one-handed backhands contributed to Federer scoring 58 winners, 12 more than Djokovic. However, Federer made far too many unforced errors in this match (35 compared to Nole's 16).

After a few relaxed games at the start, Djokovic began to heat up in the middle of the first set, especially when Federer broke his serve in the sixth game. Djokovic immediately broke back in the next game, leveling the score. In games where Federer had break points, Djokovic always served very well to save the game. From then until the end of the match, Federer did not break Nole's serve even once. The world number one was always the winner in the rallies. Djokovic hit the ball close to his opponent's feet, sometimes pushing it to the sidelines, and the ball traveled with great power.
Faced with Djokovic's superb consistency, Federer had to fight hard. Federer's most brilliant moment came in the tie-break of the second set. He saved seven set points and ultimately won 12-10 in the tie-break. The tie-break in the second set was so exciting and dramatic that Djokovic's coach, Boris Becker, was on the edge of his seat in the stands.
But that was Federer's last effort. In the remaining two sets, Djokovic secured three more breaks to claim the championship.
