The Joker deserved the win. He handled the pressure better and dominated the tie break.
Yep. Roger had the win on his racquet but couldn't get it done. Novak played the critical points better and deserved the win. Such is the nature of tennis scoring. Nonetheless, some of the shot-making was breath-taking. The match represented tennis at the absolute highest level of the sport.
