the Best Defense is a Good Defense

The Djoker dethroned the King (again).  This is two consecutive Slams that Nole has taken out Roger.


Sadly for the sport, we learned that the best defense is too good for the best offense.  Roger brought the big shots, he played beautifully.  He made all the shots, but he just couldn't put the ball past Djokovic.  I say Federer would have won the match in day conditions.  In the relentless rallies, Fed's backhand had too many cracks.  I still like Fed as the favorite for Wimbledon.  Where offense still reigns?    


Djokovic won 8 more points than Fed over 3 straight sets (119 - 111).  They served the same number of games, but Novak served 20 more points.  Here is a statistical fun fact: "winning % on second serve" includes double faults in the denominator.  {Does that make sense?}
