    It shows how much it means to Novak Djokovic that he's a little nervous, a little tight.

    He understands the situation.

    Djokovic then drifts one wide, before his forehand finds the corner on the next point. 40-15.

    Game Federer. And still we keep going.

    If this was the Australian or US Open, the umpire would have called for the tie-break.

    A reminder: there is a final-set tie-break if we get to 12-12.

    Telling you because Novak isn't so sure.

    "When is the tie-break? 12-12? 10-10?"

    Umpire Damian Steiner puts him right.

    Even Boris had a little chuckle there. He knows a thing or two about diving volleys.

    Wonder if they practised those together when he coached Novak?
