"Djokovic has absolutely folded one of his racquets! An amazing rally to finish that set - Stan Wawrinka has got himself right back into this."
Image source, EPAHe has been flirting with disaster all through it and finally Novak Djokovic's tight-rope walk in the second set comes to an ugly end.
Stan Wawrinka's forehand is spitting like a viper and when Djokovic chops an ugly backhand wide between the tramlines, it gives away 30-40, break and set point.
A lengthy back and forth ensues. Djkokovic forced into desperate defence, Wawrinka throwing ever-bigger haymakers, and finally Djokovic is stretched beyond his limits.
Djokovic hands out some corporal punishment to his racquet in revenge, stamping it to destruction on his way back to his chair.
We are even stevens.
Martin: I like Wawrinka's shorts. Bit of an "I know they don't match but they're the only pair not in the wash" vibe.

The German never won a clay-court title in his illustrious career, once double faulting on match point against ironman Thomas Muster in Monte Carlo. He knows about winning and losing big matches, and that is why Djokovic brought him on board. Victory today would be a major triumph for both player and coach."
Stan Wawrinka is still holding serve more comfortably than his opponent.
That one is posted up on the scoreboard for the loss of just one point.
Wawrinka has faced just one break point so far and had four. He has hit 14 winners to eight. But you don't get any marks for effort and the score only shows that the set is still on serve.

"I wondered if, for a split second, Djokovic thought he had made a mistake leaving that Wawrinka return. These are the fine margins that these two are playing with. The umpire didn't call it - but Djokovic did.
"The crowd are getting their money's worth. This is just great tennis - and great tension and drama."
Oh, the judgement of Solomon and Judge Judy combined from Novak Djokovic.
Break point down, the world number one allows a Stan Wawrinka forehand to float past him. The linejudge doesn't call and for a moment it looks like a horrible, horrible mistake.
It isn't though. The umpire gets off his high chair to confirm the ball has dropped just long.
It was mighty close though. And maybe the frustration of being so close and having so little to show for it is behind Wawrinka's reaction - thrashing the net cord with his racquet after failing to scoop up a a Djokovic dropper - after the final point.

"Wawrinka definitely has Djokovic rattled. In all his matches I've watched at this French Open, it is the most animated Djokovic has been, in terms of being connected to his box, turning around and shouting. But in real terms he is a set up and has had opportunities in this set. There's a lot going on. But he is in control of this match and it is Stan who is hanging in there."

Novak Djokovic muscles his way back into the game to force a deuce, but, while the scoreboard suggest that it is Wawrinka under pressure, it is Djokovic who plays like it.

The Swiss star has been watching his football team FC Basel take on Sion in the country's cup final - but, using the latest technology, made sure he could keep one eye on his compatriot Wawrinka's progress against Djokovic.
Although R-Fed had probably had enough of the football anyway. Basel lost 3-0...

"There does not seem to be any limits with what these two can do with the ball right now. Full credit to Stan who reacted well to dropping that first set."
Image source, Getty ImagesNovak Djokovic throws his arms wide in exasperation as he watches a forehand curl wide to allow Stan Wawrinka 30-30.
Maybe he was being hard on himself there. He was getting some serious pace bunged down that wing from Wawrinka.
He is right to upbraid himself on the next point though. He fails to scrape up a very makeable backhand. Break point Wawrinka.
Is this the moment for the Swiss to break through? Nope. Djokovic slaps away a big forehand before Wawrinka pushes a smash out with Djokovic and his fans braced for the loss of the point.
No break, but more promising signs for Wawrinka.
Stan Wawrinka is cosying into this second set very nicely.
He holds serve with a bit to spare. Is he the coming force in this match? It feels that way at the moment.
Image source, Getty ImagesNovak Djokovic looks like he has this game under control as he comes to the net and pats away a nicely controlled volley for 30-15. But Wawrinka prises a break point off the Serb as Djokovic twangs the tape and the ball floats up and wide.
Saved.
But there is more trouble from deuce. A second break point. First serve missed. Into a rally behind the second. And Wawrinka pumps long with a slightly over-eager backhand.
Djokovic is being given a working over here. He points a finger and punches a fist in relief as Wawrinka overcooks deep. He is under some stress out there. But he has found another gear just when required to disappear over the horizon and safe.
Jamie Purcell: Djokovic should be made to play the rest of the season hopping on one leg to level the playing field, or maybe take his racquet...

And Stan Wawrinka replies with his own service game to love.
The highlight of the game was a shot that didn't even go in as Novak Djokovic goes for a block drop-shot return to a spicy Stan serve on the final point.
Djokovic mopped up just a little too much of the serve's power though, the ball fading into the tape.
There is the iron fist in the velvet glove, the cudgel to go with the scalpel.
Novak Djokovic moves 40-0 up with a tickle of a drop-shot shifting Stan Wawrinka out of position and exposing acres of unguarded red clay behind him.
He seals the game to love in very different style, going toe-to-toe with Wawrinka in a baseline slugfest. It was like one of those fairground Test Your Strength machines with both men hammering away and Djokovic blowing a gasket on Wawrinka's game.
