First set: *Federer 5-5 Djokovic (*denotes next server)
At 30-15, the pair are both flirting with the lines, and Djokovic then hits deep to Federer’s backhand, which loops well long. Djokovic quickly serves it out from 40-15. That’s three games on the spin for Djokovic. Just as he was for much of last year’s
Wimbledon final, he’s been the inferior player for most of this set, but he could still find a way to silence Federer. 9.29am GMT
First set: Federer 5-4 Djokovic* (*denotes next server)
As Federer steps up to serve for the first set, the crowd chant “Let’s go Roger, let’s go.” Cue Ross McGillivray. “Is there a more inane chant than ‘let’s go (insert name) let’s go ...’” he emails. “If I was in charge I’d chuck em out.” Perhaps to demonstrate the inanity of said chanting, Federer flops 0-40 down. He can’t find a first serve. And then Djokovic does what Djokovic does, stepping up in the big moment, laughing in the face of adversity, and breaking Federer to love after a long rally in which Federer eventually nets. They’re back on serve.
