Second set: Federer 7-6, 2-1 *Djokovic Djokovic hammers a forehand into the net – and he's beginning to look a little irked at himself. No wonder – he's been playing wonderfully but not getting close to a break. He follows up with a stress-relieving ace, but then nets another forehand. It's 15-30 on the Djokovic serve and a breathtaking backhand gives Federer two break points. The serve is still working just fine – he saves one break point with another crunching first serve – but the Serb is struggling to get the upper hand in the rallies. Still, Federer goes too long to bring up deuce, the first deuce by my reckoning, but another nervy shot gives the Swiss another break point. No mistake this time and Federer has the break.
Second set: Federer* 7-6, 1-1 Djokovic That was a bit too easy. Djokovic's level drops off just a touch and Federer holds to love.
Second set: Federer 7-6, 0-1 *Djokovic These two are playing at such a high level. You simply can't play tennis much better than this. Anyway, Djokovic needs to pick himself up after that. He's done a decent job of it here, racing into a 40-0 before a whipped forehand from Federer puts the brakes on the momentum. Still, it's a straightforward hold.
