    The net cord is almost like a third player out there.

    Djokovic stands with hands on hips after being lobbed by the tape, staring at the court for the best part of a minute.

    And the set ends with Djokovic receiving another violation - this time for unsportsmanlike behaviour.

    Novak, unsurprisingly, isn't happy with the umpire.

    He stares him down while they are deep in discussion, then seemingly parts with what I'd imagine is a cutting comment.

    Djokovic leans back cross-legged and takes a swig of liquid in a casual, not casual, way.

    Rattled.
