Congrats to Fed. He won a tough match against a quality opponent.

lol, 'take the pressure off fed he excels'

He had to play out of his ****ing skin in order to apply that pressure.

Weird match. Fed was a couple of bounces from a straight set win.

Dominated the 3 sets he won. Got dominated in the 4th. Variance in the 2nd.

what a rollercoaster of a game
If you asked me after the 4th if Fed could win the 5th 6:1 I would have said no chance but the greatest of all time found a way.

5th set unforced errors:

Cilic: 16
Federer: 5

5th set winners:
Cilic: 4
Federer: 5

We are both seeing what we want to see. Federer kept the ball in play and Cilic didn't. I think Cilic did much more to lose the set than Federer did to win it, but sometimes that is what happens in the 5th set.

If Cilic breaks Federer's first game and holds the result might be flipped, but instead Federer holds and Cilic gets broken. Props to Federer for the clutch play. But after that Cilic just fell apart.

Federer keeps ruining my favorite tournament. I watch more of the AO than the other 3 majors combined. Hopefully he'll be retired by next year's edition.

But I'll say this, I was entertained by the final. If I have to watch Federer win, I at least want the match to be exciting. This one was a bit anti-climactic in the 5th set, but that 4th set was A+.

Haha. Well assuming I'm not banned for being anti-Fed, I'll read all the rest of everybody's gloating tomorrow.

The final indignity is that Federer lost enough games in his victory to qualify as a correct answer in the PEEHS, so I've got to see those pictures one final time.

in all seriousness is does seem basically impossible for fed's goat title to be challenged at this point

I think it's impossible for Rafa to get there. Even if he passes Fed in overall slams, I don't think that 12-13 at the French and 9-10 elsewhere stacks up to Fed's overall dominance at the hard/grass tournaments and the fact that he was the 2nd best clay court player for a solid 7-8 years.

For Nadal, he needs to pile on the weeks at number one (something like two full years worth) and win at least two non-French GS.

Part of Roger's advantage is after he won 12 out of 18 slams, he's been talked about as the GOAT or future GOAT on broadcasts for the last 10+ years. He'll retire in that same conversation and Rafa will be trying to get into the argument long past his prime.
