What Roger is doing at this age is next level unreal.

It's just such a mental sport. What Roger has done at 37 is amazing, but what Novak does in matches like this, where he just plays the biggest points with the highest level of focus, is just as hard. Two championship points and he comes back. First to do it since 2004. The tiebreaks today, what was the difference? Roger got tight and started spraying forehands, and Novak played three perfect breakers. The mental pressure Novak constantly puts guys under is what separates him from Roger and Rafa. They beat you with their games. Novak beats you with his mind.
