Summary

Novak Djokovic ended Roger Federer’s dreams of an 8th Wimbledon title for the second year in a row, and our Tennis Podcast team got back together for one last time at Wimbledon to talk about it. Jim White of the Telegraph joined presenters David Law (BBC Radio 5 Live) and Catherine Whitaker (Live at Wimbledon) to discuss the turning points, the incredible 12-10 second set tie-break, and Djokovic’s position in the all-time list as a 9-time Grand Slam champion. The podcast team will return on Thursday for the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas tie between Great Britain and France at The Queen’s Club. The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with the Telegraph, and supported by BNP Paribas, the bank for a changing world.

0:00.0	Hi I'm Layton Huett and you're listening to the tennis podcast.
0:12.6	Well hello and welcome to the tennis podcast on finals day at Wimbledon and we have a champion.
0:18.5	It is no vac shock of it for the third time joining his coach Boris Becker as a three time champion
0:24.9	at Wimbledon. He's defeated Roger Federer in four sets and my name is David Law,
0:30.6	part of the BBC Radio 5 live commentary team alongside me is Catherine Whittaker from Live at Wimbledon.
0:35.7	We are joined here on the tennis podcast by Jim White of the Telegraph who are our partners here
0:41.9	on the tennis podcast which is supported by BNP Powerbar and Catherine Whittaker. Roger Federer's
0:48.6	fairy tale has come to an end but no vac shock of it's a very worthy champion.
0:53.3	I'm worthy champion absolutely we've been told today David that we've been humiliated on Twitter.
0:59.7	Thank you very much to the person that told us we've been humiliated by no vac shock of it's of course
1:04.4	we both predicted Federer to win but it just wasn't the same Roger Federer that beat Andy Murray on
1:10.2	on Friday. I feel a bit short changed actually I mean he did fantastically well to win that
1:16.4	second set but he still didn't play brilliantly in that tie break. I think he was tense and nervous
1:23.5	throughout I think he just wasn't hitting his shots in the same way and I do feel a little bit

1:35.6	Well I thought the second set tie break was one of the best bits of sport I've ever seen it was
1:40.8	phrase here against Ali it was you know Tom Watson against Jack Nicholas it was two of the greatest
1:47.6	of all time slugging it out absolutely refusing to yield I thought it was magnificent theatre but
1:53.2	I actually think it took it out of Federer you know he's 33 years old it's it bashing a ball that
1:59.7	hard in such circumstances you can't sustain it and I agree with Catherine he wasn't at that
2:07.1	level of sheer genius that he was against Murray but then how often can anybody be at that level
