Joko is def hurtin I saw it in the last set.

Props for playing through it. Hopefully It doesn't ruin this final set

Strong hold by Djoker after the medical T.O... Federer needs to stay frosty on his own service games.

Beckham always dapper, nice fit

Everytime I see Becks I think of him rolling around Hollywood in that black Phantom

 

[thadangerousmind]

Damn Fed. So close

Respect to Joko, dude is on another level right now. It truly is the Jokers era.

 

[firepower]

Boris 

Credit to Fed tho, played his part in a great match.

 

[darthska]

Damn, Fed. :\ Was pulling for him from the jump, but ESPECIALLY after coming from being down 5-3 in the 4th.

Djoker, tho. Just kept the score in his favor, damn near the entire match. Fed was playing catch-up for too much of the match.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Damn Fed. So close

Respect to Joko, dude is on another level right now. It truly is the Jokers era.

Sadly, Nadal will have something to say about that.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Congrats to Djoker. Lots of credit to Fed for pushing it to a fifth set. In the end, the better player won.

Interesting, because Federer has 17 GS, and Djoki only has 7.

I'm assuming the money in the sport has grown drastically over the past few years.

 

[kdawg]

^yeah, that's basically it. He just got about $2.5m for winning today. Even 10 years ago the money wasn't the same.

 

[thadangerousmind]

^ I think it's 3 million. That's what Petra got.

 

[kdawg]

It's £1.76m - just checked the exchange and it's $2.9m.

Here's the Wimbledon prize money over the last few years - you can get the whole thing on their website.

The first column is the men's singles - the next one is the doubles.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Probably the endorsements

Does any one have pictures of Bouchard? I fell in love with her recently

 

[shogun]

^ I think it's 3 million. That's what Petra got.

Damn. Good pay day right there.

 

[rook]

if it came down to endorsments rodger would almost double everybody.
