Disappointment of a Federer Wimbledon Defeat

So disappointed that Federer lost. As a young kid , was so fascinated reading the name William Renshaw all over the winners list , then personally saw the best of Sampras and was witness to him equal the record set of Renshaw by winning 7 wimbledon's.

And now when I hoped that Roger Federer will do the impossible by winning his 8th wimbledon , he falls agonisingly short in a humdinger of a 5 setter. I know serving first always helps in a decider but after the way you fought back in the 4th and the way you started in the 5th by winning your initial games to love , really can't accept nor digest this defeat.

However well played Djoko , it will do you a world of good for defeating the greatest grass court player ever in a wimbledon final and also in the process get the mickey off your back which has clung on to you in your last 3 slam finals.

As a lover of stats and a fan of Federer , a tinge of disappointment remains but thanks for the breathtaking entertainment provided on thy hallowed turf of grass at Wimbledon.
