Hyperbole is never far from Twitter but, after Federer produced a performance for the ages, the praise that was forthcoming was more than warranted.
For the uninitiated, GOAT is an acronym for greatest of all time.
"I played so well on the biggest occasion today and that's why I got it,” said Federer in typical fashion.
Murray, to his credit, played some of the best tennis of his career but it just was not enough.
"I don't think I did a lot wrong," said Murray after the match.
"I didn't really have any opportunities on his serve and clearly he deserved to win the match. If he serves like that again on Sunday, he will have a very good chance to win.
Federer will face Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final after he beat Richard Gasquet 7-6(2) 6-4 6-4.
