Good tennis. That's where Federer really gets tested against Djokovic because it's a nice
variation on serve there. Nevertheless that's a good start. I guess probably the same is true
when we look at the other side. It's the whip crack effect isn't it? Yep. All of the energy
How's that for a world-class return? Of course for those that don't play so quick
to pounce upon anything that drops short.
Look at the kind of serving numbers he needs to post. Oh that's flashed.
Djokovic moving the wrong way there. Oh that's exquisite feel from Federer. That's his shot
He used very well indeed against Berdykin. That's incredible. Another line-licking forehand from
Federer. That's the serve. That's the one that's so difficult to read. 108 miles an hour or something.
That's the one we spoke about at the start of the match. Aggressive.
I've got to do a bit more with it than that. Just dropping it short and central plays right
into Federer's hand. You can't argue with that. Scintillating stuff from Federer.
It's definitely changed his tempo this evening and it's worked well. Much better serve that one.
Exquisite feel from Federer at precisely the right time. A wonderful finish to a highly
competitive set. Federer takes it. 7-5. One set to love. Nice injection of pace there.
That allowed him to prepare just a little bit earlier. Oh steady now.
Superb return there. Set up the point beautifully for Federer. He's missed it.
I'm relatively sure that it's victory for Federer and Hawkeye confirms it.
A superb performance from Federer this evening to dispatch the world number one and defending
champion in straight sets. Yeah that served well. No question that Djokovic was below par.
Too many unforced errors when it really mattered but he'll still know he's got a second bite of
the cherry. He's not done and dusted this week and he will want one more shot at Roger this year.
Opportunities have come thick and fast already this evening.
To break serve and it's Djokovic who's made the most of them.
Such an advantage to be able to rely upon a serve like that.
Brilliant. Absolutely superb serving. Boys had a good win yesterday. Oh lovely
combination of shots. That's that's majestic. That's a lovely volley.
Nice and short. Plenty of slice on it. Do nicely. A positive finish.
All these games of ball too many went for a few years.
Oh that's a wonderful combination. Great little serve there.
What a kick on it. The lob was a little better of the second time of asking
and he learns his lesson well. Plenty for the Serbs to cheer in that opening set.
Djokovic wraps it up. Six games to three. Oh yes. Very nicely done.
Saw Federer making his move out of the corner of his eye. Outfoxed him.
He's looking good now. Leads by a set.
That's an oil painting from Federer. How good was that backhand when that shot's in full float.
Provides us with a lot of eye candy. That's why Federer changed to him.
Oh yeah. Ball striking of the very highest order there. Oh return. Oh the reactions there.
Oh beautifully done. Controlling the rally from start to finish in majestic fashion.
Oh what a combination. It started with a sensational return.
Oh it's another blockbuster of a forehand. Back to back moments of magic from Djokovic.
Right back catcher. Normal service is very quickly resumed.
Oh can you believe it. Djokovic did so well there. Good anticipation.
Oh he's missed it. Always a disappointing way to end such an important match. But in the end
it's delight for Djokovic who is simply too good this evening for Federer.
