  3. 'We are not done'published at 20:16 British Summer Time 12 July 2019

    Nadal was asked (as he put it for the 1,000th time) about the rivalry between himself, Federer and Djokovic.

    "It has been another episode this afternoon - it was not my day," he said.

    "But we are not done."

    (So, plenty more for us to look forward to then!)

    The crucial thing for Djokovic is his serve because it was phenomenal returning from Federer today. If he can do that against Djokovic, he'll force Djokovic to hit a lot of shots.

    Djokovic has given Federer a beating a couple of times and he'll be wary of that. On a grass court, the way Federer played today, I would have him favourite.

    Tahir Khan: Thank you Federer and Nadal. It has been an honour to witness such an amazing level of tennis year after year and am sure few more in our lifetime.

    Abul Kalam: So it's Djokovic vs the world in the Wimbledon final. Good luck!!

    It's just staggering. Nobody has really shown this sort of longevity - not at this level anyway. The only thing that slightly concerns me was that he admitted he was exhausted at the beginning of his interview. That must have delighted Novak Djokovic!

  9. Well done Roger, says Rafapublished at 20:10 British Summer Time 12 July 2019

    Rafael Nadal is in his news conference at the moment and has been gracious in defeat.

    "I had my chances but he played a little bit better than me," he said. "He played aggressive, he played a great match, well done.

    "His return was better than mine this afternoon, I didn’t receive well today and when that happens he has the advantage and is in control of the match generally.

    "I think my backhand wasn’t as good as in previous rounds. I was a bit worried about it and was not able to move with freedom with it."

    Historically we've seen Nadal dominate when he extends the rallies. At 37, Federer - you felt - might get tired but it was just phenomenal.

    Nadal was always playing catch up. Federer on his serve was always up 15-love you felt, Nadal was never really up love-15 and able to get the crowd on side.

    It was surprising how aggressive and how consistent Federer was.

    On the back of that performance, it's going to be very interesting to start thinking about the dynamics of the final.

    The level was so high, especially towards the end when Rafa put an extra bit into his game. The match reached other heights. It is incredible to see those two players on any court in the world but especially that one because of the history they have.

    We knew there wasn't going to be much in this. I think it's fair that Federer gets the edge on his favourite surface.

    Roger Federer is something else.

    He's just left Centre Court after playing an emotionally-draining Wimbledon semi-final of such unbelievably high intensity and yet looks as cool as a cucumber.

    Not a hair out of place for the great man.

    Orry Jardine: Unbelievable match, we’re so lucky to see these 2 legends play at the same time. Unlikely to see anyone like them again.

    Karl Bristow: Sometimes it feels like the game needs young stars to come through. But when you watch a high quality match like that, you want Federer vs Nadal at Wimbledon forever.

    Nadal dug his toes in, he knew he had to make Federer serve it out. We know they're both very resilient players.

    What surprised me was when the rallies extended out, it was Federer who was coming out on top. He was driving in, looking to finish the points at the net, and for three of four sets it was a masterclass from Federer.

    More from Roger Federer speaking to BBC on his final opponent Novak Djokovic:

    "He played great against Bautisa Agut. Novak was supreme. He is the defending champion and has showed why. He has been rock-solid.

    "I hope I can push him to the brink and hopefully beat him but it's going to be very difficult. I'm very excited to say the least."

    Anita: I don't know if I would love tennis as much if it wasn't for Roger and Rafa. What a fantastic match. Thank you both for a great Friday evening!

    Philip West: Federer has just laid the ghosts of 2008 to rest, and if that’s the final time he and Nadal play each other at #Wimbledon, what a match to close it out.
