I had the same feeling once I watched the match back. Ace down the T at 15-all, ace down the T at 30-15. Even at 40-15, he went down the middle again and had Djokovic leaning the wrong way, just missed the serve. Would have been an incredible way to finish, but it's so much tougher on the match point.
Thanks Claire! To be honest, I'm concerned that no one would want to publish it, so I haven't reached out to anyone yet. But I would really like to at some point in the future.
It still hurts me to this day to read about that loss at Wimbledon in 2019, and I think it always will. Still, I'm so happy that I got to experience such a great run by Federer, beating Nadal in the semifinal.
It always amazed me how Federer nailed his first serve ace to get to 2 match points, but once there, he forgot how to ace Djokovic entirely.

Great installment Owen. Would you consider publishing it as a book?
