Tom B: Haven't seen a tennis slugfest like Djokovic vs Nishikori for quite some time. They're leaving everything on court today no matter who wins.
Dan: Djokovic v Nishikori is outstanding so far. No favourite for me, just loving the tennis

Why doesn't Anderson come in more? He is talented! He has great feel.
*Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 3-3 Anderson
The headband-topped Swiss cranks through the gears a little, you get the feeling Roger Federer is yet to hit top speed in this quarter-final - but he's accelerating...
Kevin Anderson puts the brakes on the Swiss with a neat serve and then a superb drop volley to turn it around to 40-30, before Federer rattles the tape off his forehand side.

We'll see how it effects Djokovic that the crowd are starting to rally around Kei Nishikori. He seems to be finding some inspiration here. At the moment Nishikori is in the zone.

A deep "ooooooo" from the crowd greets a Djokovic double fault.
0-30.
"Come on Nishi," shouts one spectator. They're backing the Japanese player.
... Now an error from Novak Djokovic.
Three break points for Kei Nishikori....

The change of strategy from Nishikori has made this match far more competitive. He's been taking the initiative, taking it to Novak.

It is amazing when you watch Roger Federer play. People used to say to me a few years back, 'don't you get bored watching him? It's so easy.' Of course I said no! You know he will hit four or five shots that no-one else in the world will hit. It defies imagination. It is so special every time he plays. It is a treasure.
*Djokovic 6-3 3-6 2-2 Nishikori
A big, big hold of serve from Kei Nishikori. The crowd cheer the 24th seed. He clenches his fist and readjusts his headband. Back to work...
Djokovic 6-3 3-6 2-1 Nishikori*
This is great tennis now. Nishikori sees off a break point with a volley at the net.
His box stands and applauds the man from Japan.
Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 3-2 Anderson*
Clinical from the top seed. We're rattling through quick holds in the third set.
Roger Federer continues that trend.
Djokovic 6-3 3-6 2-1 Nishikori*
There doesn't seem to be any issue with the elbow there. With a hop and a whip of the arm, Nishikori bangs down his second ace of the match.
But that's brilliant from both men. On and on the rally goes before Djokovic hits one of those backhands that took him to the top of the world.
Deuce. Important moments...

*Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 2-2 Anderson
John Arne Riise is a man who knows how to strike a ball... Kevin Anderson cracks a serve with as much venom as one of the former Liverpool left-back's free-kicks, and then dances into a forehand winner from mid-court.

Nishikori takes second set to go level against Djokovic
Djokovic 6-3 3-6 2-1 Nishikori*
Now here comes both the trainer and doctor after another easy Djokovic hold. Nishikori's right elbow is already bandaged. Is that the problem? I can't quite see. The doctor is in the way.
Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 2-1 Anderson*
Roger Federer is looking angry today - that frustration comes out in a love-hold that Kevin Anderson barely gets a look at.

There were question marks 18 months ago when Federer came back from his injury. Would he be able to come back? But he changed his racquet, changed his positioning and now three Grand Slams later, he's playing some of his best tennis ever. He prolonged his career - that is what he did.
*Djokovic 6-3 3-6 1-1 Nishikori
Maybe there is a problem with Kei Nishikori. He's asked the umpire for the trainer to make his way to court. There are no signs of the doctor yet. Nishikori holds.
*Federer 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 1-1 Anderson
What a winner, one big step across the baseline from Roger Federer and a nonchalant passing backhand to establish his authority on this third set. Magnificent.
Kevin Anderson digs in, steams down a meaty serve and finishes off with a half-volley smash.
