commentators contributed their post-match thoughts. brad gilbert said to his fellow commentators chris mckendry and darren cahill that he could easily make a case that federer, being 1-3 down to his archrival nadal in the final deciding set, would go on to play the best five games in his career, coming up the most clutch that he has ever been, especially in the face of nadal and everything that was on line in losing this match to him. patrick mcenroe of espn said that federer 'out-rafa'd rafa', noting that, instead of being emotionally and physically depleted from being grounded down by nadal's persistence and tenacity, federer this time around was 'the fighter. . . that was defending, that was scrapping, was coming up with shots on the run' that, coupled with his serve, saw him close the gap between himself and nadal and then go on to win the deciding set of the match. john mcenroe remarked that nadal's long semi-final and the one day of difference of rest between him and federer perhaps made themselves felt in the latter stages of the match. but john mcenroe, who himself in the past was one of the critics who judged that federer would never again win another major after his 2012 wimbledon title win, remarked that during the match's final set federer 'showed more heart and will than he ever has in a singles match in his life,' which led to federer's victory that in john mcenroe's eyes cemented federer as being the best player of all time unless nadal can win additional majors to once again close the gap between their respective grand slam singles title count. due to the form shown by both players, both mcenroe brothers say that federer and nadal could very well win at their respective most successful slams of wimbledon and the french open ahead. this prediction proved out to be correct, as later in the year nadal and federer, won french open and wimbledon respectively, both without dropping a set. nadal also won the us open later the same year. in 2018, federer successfully defended his australian open title, defeating finalist marin čilić in 5 sets as well as nadal successfully defended his french open title, defeating finalist thiem in 3 sets.
