"I have to say, playing against Roger is a big challenge," Djokovic said. "A lot of players in my generation look up to him and follow in his footsteps. Roger makes you push your limits, play hard and fight for every point."

Federer, as in this year's tournament, served very well and attacked aggressively. The 33-year-old's composure and technical style of play made the audience at the Center Court cheer enthusiastically. But Djokovic showed his full potential as an "all-round machine". Physical strength, power and mental stability helped the "Djoker" win at decisive moments.

Federer commented: "I had a chance to win the first set, was lucky to win the second set and had a chance in the third set. But he played better on the important points. I didn't beat me at all but he played so consistently."

The "Express Train" has been in great form at Wimbledon this year, losing only one set before entering the final. Federer's fans have strong faith that he will win his 18th Grand Slam title on July 12. However, against Djokovic who is at the peak of his career and in good form, Federer, despite playing well, could do nothing more.

Federer made good use of his strength, which is his net shots. The second seed scored 42 points in 58 net shots. His one-handed backhands unexpectedly contributed to Federer's 58 winners, 12 more than Djokovic. However, Federer's unforced errors in this match were too many (35 compared to Nole's 16).

After a few relaxed games, Djokovic started to warm up in the middle of the first set, especially when Federer broke in game six. Djokovic immediately regained the break 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 was not able to break Nole's serve. The world number one was always the winner in the exchange. Djokovic sometimes hit the ball close to his opponent's feet, sometimes pushed it close to the line, and the ball went very hard.

Against Djokovic's excellent consistency, Federer played hard. Federer's most shining moment came in the tie-break in the second set. Federer saved seven set points and eventually won 12-10 in the shootout. The tie-break in the second set was so exciting and dramatic that it left Djokovic's coach Boris Becker on the edge of his seat.

But that was the last effort Federer could make. In the remaining two sets, Djokovic won three more breaks to win the title.
