    What's Fed got left? He digs in mentally and physically, Djokovic slipping on the baseline as he tries to race forward to a dropshot.

    Novak was 40-0 up in that game and it seemed that he was going to win the game easily, but even then the drama was insane. It is so tense, I can hardly breathe.
