Roger Federer's loss to Djokovic was devastating, it broke him - Blake
In an interview the former world No. 4 James Blake spoke about Roger Federer's Wimbledon loss to Novak Djokovic. The American, speaking to The Score, said: "Roger is one of the best I've ever seen at having a short memory and putting it behind him. That one, for him to even admit that it kind of broke him a bit, you know how devastating that was. … Him and (Pete) Sampras are the two best I've ever seen with finishing a match - win or lose - and being done with it and worrying about the next one."
Jim Courier also gave his opinion: "I don't think that we'll really know unless he gets back to a situation where he's serving for another Slam at 40-15 and we'll see how he reacts. We'll see if he's loose or if he's tight. But I think it's hard to tell in general afterward how that loss may have affected him or not affected him."
Andy Roddick spoke about Daniil Medvedev: "I also like the fact that he went on to win his first tournament afterward. That shows something. (When) you're in five straight finals, that means you have it every day. You don't rely on it. (Nick) Kyrgios likes to win one and then take the next month off. It seems like (Medvedev) doesn't tick that way. That should serve him well. Is he as talented as the Big Three? I don't know. But is he going to have to be for the rest of his career? I don't think he will."
