The mental resilience of Novak is something else.
That's gutting, better in all departments.Final stats...
You should worry that Novak is only two behind your fave....
Nice to see both sets of kids there for Roger and Novak.
Go have a fecking word with yourself
in 2 years he's the goat, and it will be because of this final.
Amazing final. Hat of to Novak, the dude knows how to win
Fed is a class act.
he;s been pushing novak as goat over fed for a while now.
Shut your shit mouth!
You have to remember Federer had a 6-1 set which likely skews it. Few games in that set towards the end where Djokovic basically gave up on that set.
A year younger as well, can’t look past him for USO, then next year he will be favourite for 3/4 Slams as well.
Unless he does another stint like 2017, think he’ll have the most Slams out of the 3 by the time they are all done.
When Novak at less than a month from turning 38 takes the world #1 to a 5th set tiebreaker and actually statistically dominates the match, please let me know.
A final he was outclassed in for the better part against an 38-year old? Great if that’s what defines your legacy as GOAT.
This match will only enhance Federer’s goat status even further. What he did today was unseen and won’t be repeated anytime soon.
US OPEN will see either of Novak/Nadal inch ever closer to 20. Lovely.
nobody remembers the stats. fed deserved to lose vs roddick in 2009. instead it's fed 20 roddick 1.
Hats off to both of them . This was an epic final.
When they play this in years to come remember that we were all here.
Thanks @Niall

Damn you Novak! Why do you have to be so humble I prefer when you're the villain
Lets welcome the goat in statistical domination 
That’s provided he doesn’t pass Fed in Slam count, which is more than likely by this point.
Best final ever?
Not possible, he would have to play against himself.
Next is the hard court. So then what?
Federer? Nadal? Djokovic?
Federer? Nadal? Djokovic?
Some people are really weird about tennis. Jesus Christ this thread
That was an insane game, one of the best I’ve ever seen. Two incredible players, djok has balls of steal. Fed will be kicking himself but still,

If you're neutral that was a great match. Worthy of the Wimbledon final. Until next year.
Djokovic. Nadal only ever won 1 USO. Fed hasn’t won there since 2008.
edit: Actually scrap that, he won in 2013, 2017 as well.
Outclassed is certainly an over exaggeration. Federer was probably the better played in those tiebreak sets but the were all tight. It wasn't the case of Djokovic clinging through all the sets.
Nah it was entertaining final but the actually tennis wasn't that great in large parts of the match.
3 actually
Crappy tournament, Great final.
Nadal has won 3
Gutted for Fed.
Novak is the only one of the 3 who can actually lose his motivation a bit. We've seen it before. Nadal staying with within 2 of Federer was extremely important.
Either way, I've often said it, Nadal is going to finish below the both of them in GOAT debates.
Great post, would read again.
Gutted. This time he was actually better, just that mentally Djokovic edged him.
An all-time great match though, probably the best since the final in 2008.

Novak the great..... the GOAT I meant 
These childish debates and people quoting each other to have a laugh are really tiresome. Thought Federer was better but above all it was a great match to watch.
Wonder if Roger will be back next year. If he keeps this form he has a good chance in US and Aus
