A see-saw battle between great champions. A contest of nerves where Federer seemed to wrest the momentum. He frustrated Djokovic with his deep angles. But how could he have won? His opponent had a certain Boris Becker in the players' box; a man who captured my teenaged imagination with his boom boom serves and flying dives; the very reason I started taking interest in tennis. Federer couldn't rob me and my idol of a bit of a déjà vu, could he? But hats off to the Swiss master. Even Boris would have sighed in relief in the end. Djocovic aptly summed it all up, saying, 'Thank you for letting me win.'
