    Unbelievable. Rafael Nadal looked to have got a drop volley all wrong, but Novak Djokovic throws his passing shot straight into the Spaniard and he picks it off.

    Set point.

    Nokeeroe: The crowd must be desperate for a fifth set here. It’s exciting stuff!

    Gareth: This is the kind of tennis that makes sitting indoors on a beautiful sunny day totally worth it.

    Novak Djokovic somehow keeps the point alive at full stretch from a Rafael Nadal slam, but his response drops narrowly long - that was agonising.

    That's the first break saved for Nadal.

    Djokovic cups a backhand into the guts of the net as the Spaniard saves the second.

    One to go.

    Pick that out. Superb winner down the line shot from Novak Djokovic that just kisses the chalk.

    Rafael Nadal is serving for the fourth set, but again the Serb scrambles to make it 0-30.

    Pressure...

    There is so much anger bottled up inside Djokovic. Ouch! He could break his toe with the force he used hitting his racquet like that. What a temper tantrum!

    Novak Djokovic dusts off the first with a mammoth serve, but he's on the run on the second - Nadal slices on the half-volley into mid-court, and the Serb wraps a forehand into the tape!

    He's hammering his shoes with his strings in frustration. Ouch.

  14. Two break pointspublished at 13:53 British Summer Time 14 July 2018

    Nadal 4-6 6-3 6-7 (9-11) 4-3 Djokovic*

    A surprised groan around Centre Court. A double fault from Novak Djokovic, only his third of the match and 11th of the tournament.

    Rafael Nadal thunders a wayward return into the upper rungs of the stands, and it's caught by a spectator - great hands!

    Djokovic rattles the net for 15-30. Does the Spaniard sniff an opportunity here? Yes he does! A huge backhand return to bring up two break points.

    I don't understand why the roof has to be closed. Why does it have to continue that way today? It's only because it was late yesterday so it had to be closed but it doesn't make any sense today.

    Brilliant from Novak Djokovic. With Rafael Nadal going on the offensive, he whips a a dipping forehand towards the Spaniard's feet and Nadal can't pick it up.

    The world number one takes some of that frustration out on the next point - hammering down an overhead smash after carefully watching it drop from below the roof on Centre Court.

    Djokovic scrambles to the next and make it 130 points won each in this semi-final.

    Nadal wins his 131st, and holds.

    We saw the two sides of Djokovic yesterday but today he is poker-faced, walking slowly and absorbing everything coming at him from Nadal.
