Djokovic has a wry grin and shake of the head as he hands Murray a point on a plate with a drop that doesn't have enough power on it. He nails an overhead volley though, nonchalantly smashing it away. He keeps his composure and wins the game. He's one away from taking the match.

Djokovic slips trying to return Murray's serve and hits his head on the court. Murray clambers over the net to see if he's okay. He is and he races towards two break points, before Murray claws one back with another powerful serve. Djokovic isn't having it, though, and he breaks him for the second time.

The rallies between these two are ridiculous. Murray raises his hand in apology as he somehow manages to whip the ball up from the line and into Djokovic's side of the court. Djokovic grins and gets his second break point with a powerful thwack that Murray can't return, and he secures the game before turning and ranting towards his box. He even wipes his face in an angry manner.

Murray comes out on top of another long rally, finally forcing the error from Djokovic after 27 shots. Both of them shimmy up to the net and they're both getting the crowd behind them. Murray lets out a roar that gets the crowd applauding, before Djokovic forces an error and does the same, waving his arms in encouragement at the crowd. 

Another overhead from Djokvoic brings about chants of "let's go, Novak, let's go" from one hardy voice in the crowd. Murray spoils the kid's rhythm by coming up to the net and going a little defter. There's that traditional fist pump from Murray as he holds.

Murray cranks up the power and Djokovic responds with a big backhand to secure the point. He's looking more confident moving forward now as he darts halfway to the net and thuds a return past Murray.

Murray thinks he's beaten Djokovic with a lob but his opponent replicates the shot with a tad more power and Murray watches it sail past him. Murray is a little ticked off, wiping his brow and yelling at himself to come on as he slices another return into the net for deuce. He wins an almighty rally with a deft backhand and holds.

Djokovic's drop shot is a lovely thing. Murray can only huff as he comes charging cross court and watches the ball roll past him. He's still not happy with his thumb but Murray's forehand is wide and causes him no trouble.
