Federer 3-4 Djokovic
The nerves appear to strike Djokovic again as he falls to 0-40 with a couple of errors and another lose backhand lets Federer break back to love.

Federer 6-6 Djokovic A long rally at 15-15 ends with Djokovic smacking a backhand down to Federer's feet at the net and he puts the volley long. Another forehand error follows and it's 15-40 and two set points to Djokovic. We've been here before, haven't we? Federer saves the first with an ace and NoDjo goes long with a forehand on the second, only just according to Hawkeye. That provokes a smile form the Serb but Federer just gets back to business and holds on. Almost....  |

2329: Djokovic has a brief and entertaining meltdown at the back of the court after missing a total of seven set points in the match so far. He needs to get his head back in the match - it's tie-break time.

Federer 1-0 Djokovic
Lordy, that is a game and a half from the champ. He opens with a forehand winner down the line, then hits a backhand down the opposite tram line and soon after smacks an ace for the game.
Oh no, novo....

Federer 3-2 Djokovic
Djokovic smacks a cross-court backhand winner on the first point and then Federer double faults to go 0-30. NoDjo steps up the pace in the next rally and forces a backhand error - 0-40 and three more break points for the Serb. He misses with a backhand return on the first and then inexplicably leaves a forehand that drops on the line right in front of him - Hawkeye confirms his mistake. Djokovic nets a return on the third break point and the crowd sighs as one, before Federer wraps up the game with an ace.
Bizarrely, Djokovic challenges but Fedeer marches to his chair and sits down anyway, so the Serb follows him. They both sit and watch as the Hawkeye graphic confirms it was an ace, just. And that was Djokovic's last challenge of the set. Weird.
DJOKOVIC HAS CRACKED!

Federer 4-4 Djokovic
Crikey. Federer moves menacingly to 30-30, swoops into the net and... sticks a volley into the net with court gaping. Djokovic follows up with a double fault anyway, so it's deuce, but Federer misses with a pass and Djokovic hangs on. He looks tired though.
tired? after 2 1/2 sets? oh dear....
