Nicely done.
Spot on.
Amazingly poor opening service game from the top seeds.
Federer on his toes.
Anticipation.
Enough for the approach shot.
Again, trying to break down that forehand.
Which he duly does.
And in some style.
Certainly, few would argue against him being the most complete player.
Combination of shots.
Impressive.
With the feet.
It's important when it's a little breezy.
Disastrous game for Djokovic.
Perfect start.
Interesting.
Juice.
Exuberance and power in Djokovic.
Oh yeah.
Way too short.
Terrific stuff.
From both.
Yes!
Terrific forehand.
One of the best in the match.
And what a way to break back.
Nicely done.
Some great adjustment with the feet.
What a shot.
What a combination of shots.
Again, exquisite length on the return.
Finishing the set so very strongly.
By winning 11 of the last 14 points.
The serve is working well.
Especially in this set.
Time coming.
Eventually, Federer manages to break serve.
The opening set.
Despite the fact that he had six set points.
When serving for it.
But here in the second.
He wraps it up.
At the very first time of asking.
Made it.
He's missed it.
What a turn up for the books.
That was fortunate.
That ball going way wide.
Until it clipped the top of the net.
Poor forehand.
A very tense and tight affair.
Cheap points.
And an absolute premium.
That forehand was a little wayward.
He's missed it.
It's deep of the baseline.
Djokovic painting the lines.
Extremely good length.
Federer's undoing once more.
He's done it.
And what a way to do so.
A second Waterford Crystal Masters Series shield.
For the young Serb.
After earlier success in Miami this season.
But in winning this event.
He's done something very, very special.
Defeating the top three players in the world.
In successive matches.
