    I think Novak Djokovic deserves a little more noise from the crowd considering that superb gutsy break-back. It was a very quiet reaction.

    How will that mess with Roger Federer? How often has he failed to serve out a championship?

  3. Djokovic back in front againpublished at 18:28 British Summer Time 14 July 2019

    Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 9-8 Federer*

    It looks as though it's an easy hold for Djokovic, but Federer takes a point at 0-40 down.

    Then a magnificent rally ends with Djokovic clipping the net and the ball bouncing out. 40-30.

    He serves it out.

    Hundreds of fans were on their feet, phones put onto camera mode, ready and waiting to capture the winning moment.

    They've had to sit back down and slide the phone into a pocket.

    See where Roger Federer gets his composure from. His dad Robert, sat slightly forward with his hands together in a relaxed clasp, is the most chilled man in this place.

    He slowly rises to his feet as everyone him around goes a-go-go.

    15-0 to Djokovic. Federer challenges because he says he can't hear the line judge. Hawk Eye proves he shot far too long.

    15-15 as Djokovic's forehand goes wide.

    Federer goes 30-15 up with an ACE.

    AND THEN ANOTHER ACE. CHAMPIONSHIP POINT.

    From Federer's point of view he's always playing catch up.

    There's almost an element of relief whenever he holds serve - and then suddenly Djokovic has held again.

    Daniel Brown: Novak is getting closer on Roger's serve than Roger is on Novak's. Can Roger hold once again? So, so tense!
