"This year around, he's changed his game a little bit. Plays maybe a bit more aggressive, knows the game of grass much better. That's why I think he's not only just a good clay courter, he's a good all-around player," he said. "He deserves a title here. He's not getting any worse. It was a tough match and I have the highest respect for him."
Federer now turns his attentions to defending his US Open title and he admits he still has plenty of ambitions left in the sport.
But with 11 Grand Slams under his belt, he also knows the pressure is off his shoulders as he remains comfortably the best player in the world.
"I haven't won Paris, I haven't won the Davis Cup, the Olympic Games," he said. "I just want to enjoy tennis and not just put myself under pressure all the time. I'm just happy with such a great run, especially at Wimbledon, the most important tournament of my life. I'm loving every moment of it."
