BTW Sandy, I'm not suggesting that the winner & Loser get equal time in post match TV, but that the loser gets some time to explain things.
Another stat.... Federer 94 winners, 61 unforced errors;
Djokovic 54 winners, 52 unforced errors.
That's why the crowd prefers to watch Federer - he's exciting. Novak is more of a brick wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The crowd prefers Federer because he’s been the darling of Wimbledon for years.

They associate with him because Wimbledon is essentially his playground now.

However, Djokovic has his number. That’s 3 final wins in what’s considered to be effectively home turf for Roger.

I can’t imagine someone dominating Rafa at Roland Garos in this way.

Federers game is easy on the eye but Novak is a winning machine. Djokvoic has won 33 of his last 34 major matches, and has captured four of the last five Grand Slam events.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hasn't been a lot in it between Djok and Fed to be fair. 2 of those wins went to 5 sets and I actually thought this was the best Fed had played against Djok in all of those 3 matches and should have won the match when he had the chance. It's just that Djok is a slightly more clutch player, being that bit more mentally strong at the big moments.

Nadal at Roland Garos is just a different animal on that surface to even Fed on grass. Only 2 losses at the French, and I could be wrong but only once has he been taken to 5 sets in all those years playing on it. You won't get many other sportsmen in any sport as dominant at something.
