Match is going to be ruined when Mr Curfew comes knocking on the door and strips away the crowd

Been amazing, we are blessed in this era.

Federer is the best ever player ability wise.

Djokovic is the best player ever I think.
Curious why do you think Djokovic to be the best player if Federer has more ability? Djoks a better competitor or something else?

For the record, I think Djokovic will be the best ever by the time they’ve all finished but equally Nadal could very well have the most slams.

Who cares who is the best. We are absolutely blessed to be witnessing three greats in one era. This match is absolutely brilliant.

Watching Federer was like having a religious experience. The grace, the technique, the incredible shot making. He bought me, possibly, the most joy of any sportsman ever.

Djokovic has just been so consistent and unreal. Think he will retire with the most.

Exactly

All 3 have a claim to GOAT

There will always be variables

but what everyone can agree on, is how lucky, how truly lucky we are to witness an era where we have the 3 greatest of All time in one go

Matches like these are special special moments not just in tennis, but in the world of sport, this is excellence in it finest form

What does Covid protocol have to do with fans leaving at a certain time ?

I swear there was fans leaving the exit outside the stadium. Imagine if you left a few minutes early and found out you could have stayed!

Turns out the trick to beating Nada at RG is to not let him beat you in straight sets. He's just a bang average clay court plodder otherwise.
