Press reviews of the Wimbledon final: “Match of the century”

SWITZERLAND: Daily Gazette: “Federer will probably be thinking about his missed match points for a while. Or his nervous tiebreaks. But once he has digested this final - and he is usually pretty quick at it - he will be able to draw a lot of positive things from Wimbledon 2019. (...) Age does not seem to be a limiting factor for Federer's career.

NZZ: “Federer’s career is not over. And the way he has performed in London over the last 14 days, the way he has been playing all season, it cannot be ruled out that he will play in more major finals.”

Look: “Roger Federer almost thrilled us once again in his kingdom and brought tears of joy here and there - at almost 38 years old. He can still look back with pride on a successful tournament.” GREAT BRITAIN The Times: “Djokovic’s epic triumph”

The Guardian: “Djokovic shatters the Federer fairytale in an epic final.”

The Sun: "The 37-year-old Federer will be annoyed because he was the better man in the first and third sets before losing them in the tie-break - and he had the 32-year-old Djokovic firmly under control at times."

Daily Telegraph: “The legend of Novak Djokovic, a man who could probably look a great white shark in the eye without blinking, is only strengthened by his extraordinary achievement of winning the longest Wimbledon final in history.”

The Independent: “It will go down in history not only as one of the greatest Wimbledon finals of all time, but also as one of the greatest tennis matches in the history of the sport.” SPAIN Brand: “Wimbledon witnessed a monumental final, probably the best the All England Club has ever seen. It was a finale straight out of the script (...). But although the audience (...) was clearly for Roger Federer, there was no good or bad guy here. There were only two good ones.”

AS: “We are still rubbing our eyes at what we have just experienced: a legendary final, the new game of the century.”

World Sports: “Without passion and emotions there is no magic.” AUSTRIA: Krone newspaper: “King” of Wimbledon – a game for eternity! Defending champion Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer 7:6, 1:6, 7:6, 4:6, 13:12 in the longest final of the tennis classic at Wimbledon and thus won his 16th Grand Slam title.”

The Standard: “Federer loses epic final”

The press: “Federer felt like the better player, he controlled this duel for long stretches, hit far more winners (94 to 54) and ultimately scored 15 points more. He was ahead in virtually all relevant statistics, but Djokovic was there in the crucial moments. “

Courier: “It was a crime thriller. And a marathon. The Wimbledon final kept all its promises. (...) The 32-year-old Djokovic showed stronger nerves in the tie-breaks and remains undisputed at the top of the world rankings.” ITALIAN The print: “It happens even to the greatest that a legendary victory escapes them. But you have to be great, very great, like Novak Djokovic, to manage to snatch this victory from their hands.”

Sports Gazette: “Great tennis. Federer admits defeat after five hours of record challenge. A crazy Wimbledon. A match of the century. Djokovic triumphs.”

The Republic: “The perfect match. For those who have seen it with their own eyes, almost five hours of unforgettable beauty will remain with them.”
