    Annabel Croft

    Novak Djokovic is targeting the Roger Federer backhand so much in this tie-break and I think it is getting into the Swiss' psyche..

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 6-6 Federer

    Great rally, but it's Djokovic that wins it. He's in touching distance of taking this third set now. Fist pump.

    Federer was the better player in the first set, but did not get the tie-break. It is funny how these work...

  11. Scenes on Centre Court

    "Finish him!" is what those leaping up in front of us on Centre might be saying if they were watching a gladiatorial scrap in the Colosseum.

    Federer can't go all Spartacus on that set point as Djokovic survives that deep wound...

  12. Djokovic* 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 5-6 Federer

    Djokovic is feeling the heat. Federer looks as cool as a cucumber.

  14. 'It is getting ridiculous'

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 5-5 Federer*

    Pat Cash
    Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    It is getting ridiculous how easy Roger Federer is winning rallies against the number one player in the world with just a wide serve.

    Novak Djokovic has to change his serving position. The old rule is if an opponent beats you a particular way three or four times you should change things up. Federer has exploited Djokovic's starting position 20 times so far.

  15. Djokovic holds on

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 5-5 Federer*

    Not this time. Fed's backhand return goes flying.

    At deuce, the exact same thing happens again. Advantage Djokovic. He takes it.

    A little sly look towards his box. Djokovic is feeling the pressure.

  16. Federer set point

    Djokovic* 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 4-5 Federer

    "C'mon!" Federer fans shout around Centre Court as he goes 30-15 up on Djokovic's serve. Djokovic restores parity quickly.

    Lovely, lovely play, and Federer backhands a drop shot over the net and brings up break and set point.

  17. 'Djokovic somehow still in contest'

    *Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 4-5 Federer

    Boris Becker
    Three-time Wimbledon champion on BBC TV

    You can see a bit of emotion now from the Serb.

    Djokovic hasn't had one break point on the Federer serve and we're at 5-4 in the third.

    It's remarkable that he's still in the match.

  18. Djokovic* 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 4-5 Federer

    Federer held that game, by the way.

    Obviously.

  19. Strictly tennis

    Just got a bit distracted. Anton Du Beke just walked into our commentary box.

    Maybe that's why JJ wanted me to live text this set. He fancied a dance...

  20. Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 4-4 Federer*

    Anything Roger can do, Novak can do just as well.

    Well, until 40-0, that is. Then Djokovic skews a shot way over Federer's head that then hits the door through which they walked two hours ago.

    One hour, 52 minutes played. Got any idea which way this is going to go?

    Me neither.
