What. a. sensational. match.
A shorter version of the A012 final no doubt. It definitely had more substance and finesse but less drama.
I feel for Murray. I really do. In all honesty Murray is my second least favorite from the big 4 (still a huge gap between him and Nadal) but this was the one time I didn't really mind someone upsetting Federer in the final of a GS.
I really hope he gets another shot at a major final and wins it the next time. No one deserves such heartbreak. No one. Hats off to you Murray. You've earned my respect.
But on the other hand, what a joyous day this is for tennis. The king is finally back on top, now as the undisuted GOAT of tennis. And at the age of 31.
The moment Federer won the 2nd set I knew we were in for something special and thats exactly when 'God-Mode' Federer showed up and totally bested a very spot-on Murray.
But looking at the bigger picture, the quality of this match was simply ridiculous. Long exquisite rallies, amazing retrievals (on grass), insane angles, merciless attacking tennis (from Federer).
Here's to hoping the old man wins the singles Olympic Gold Medal and Murray wins the USO 2012.
