Theo: Throw out these hecklers… they don’t deserve to have a seat at this final

Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Tsitsipas has just made too many errors. Djokovic has been let off the hook here.
Tsitsipas 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 0-0 Djokovic
Novak Djokovic comes through a hugely entertaining second set and now Australian Open title number 10 is within sight.
Tsitsipas had set point at 5-4 and now faces a daunting task in his bid to end his wait for a first Grand Slam title.

A couple of villages have lost their idiots. They're in Rod Laver Arena.
More shouts at the start of the points led to another rebuke from the umpire - and some of their fellow fans.
"I know it is very exciting but please keep quiet," says Louise Azemar Engzell.
"It is very disturbing for both players so please be quiet."
*Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (4-6) Djokovic
After managing to get back on level terms from 4-1 down, Tsitsipas needs another big fightback here.
Djokovic has two set points.

Neither player are playing a particularly good tie-break but it shows what's at stake here.
*Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (4-5) Djokovic
The chair umpire has to have another word with the increasingly excitable crowd.
Djokovic moves to 5-4 as a frustrated Tsitsipas misses with a forehand.

John: Narky Novak is a throwback to his early days on Tour. He’s too much of a champion now for him to derail over a good set from his opponent

It's fluctuating and I thought Tsitsipas had been the better player, asking a lot of questions and bringing out the stress levels in Djokovic. But suddenly in this tie-break it has just deserted him.
*Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (4-4) Djokovic
A double fault from Novak Djokovic!
Stefanos Tsitsipas is right back in this tie-break as a Djokovic forehand misses and the Greek will serve at 4-4. Drama.
Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (2-4) Djokovic*
A Djokovic backhand drops into the net to give Tsitsipas hope at 4-2.
Both players are beginning to feel the tension. They're not the only ones either - members of the crowd keep being shown on the big screen showing their emotions after the points. There are hands covering faces all around Rod Laver Arena!
Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (1-4) Djokovic*
Uh-oh. Two big errors on the forehand from Stefanos Tsitsipas hand Novak Djokovic a healthy 4-1 advantage.
*Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (1-2) Djokovic
Djokovic puts away a forehand to ensure he hands over serving duties with a 2-1 lead.
Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (1-1) Djokovic*
That's a quality response from the Greek!
A brilliant backhand sets him up for a smash at the net, and he celebrates with a defiant raised fist as his supporters jump to their feet.
Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (0-1) Djokovic*
A look of huge frustration from Tsitsipas as he mis-hits a forehand to give Djokovic an early advantage in the tie-break.
Pat Cash
Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live
Tsitsipas is using the slice backhand really well and they are working for him now. It is making it awkward for Novak and he is having to come forward and it's making it uncomfortable for him.
*Tsitsipas 3-6 6-6 (0-0) Djokovic
Ooh, a first double fault from Djokovic. Tightening up? Still, 40-0 is the time to get those out the way.
He then lets Tsitsipas have a look at a second serve, and the Greek takes full advantage as he swipes a forehand out of reach for 40-30.
But he can't make it to deuce. Tie-break time!

Keeping this crowd in check is a tough gig.
Umpire Louise Azemar Engzell is doing it very well, though.
She politely - but very firmly - tells the raucous fans on Laver to zip it between first and second serves.
Tsitsipas 3-6 6-5 Djokovic*
Not the start Tsitsipas needed. A couple of misses allow Djokovic to get clear at 30-0, before a driven forehand beats the Greek at the back of the court.
Looks like we're heading to a tie-break, folks...
