    Djokovic looks such a tormented soul and it can't be good for his health.

    He's in a terrible state.

    Djokovic lets off some steam after holding his serve.

    Looks like he is sarcastically mimicking what his team are telling/have told him.

    Whatever he's doing, he ain't happy.

  3. Tsitsipas 3-6 6-5 Djokovic*

    Wow, Djokovic is still directing a lot of frustration at his team. I'm not sure I've ever seen him quite like this in a final.

    At the opposite end of the court, Tsitsipas is just continuing to efficiently stick to his task. A couple of aces secure a love hold and he can swiftly go about attacking the Djokovic serve once again.

    Djokovic is battling a lot of demons right now. It is all about the backhand, and we saw that against Tommy Paul. It is a worrying sign for Djokovic because that is a rock-solid side.

    It is like a pressure cooker exploding and you can see how much tension is building up inside him.

    The crowd are really enjoying this. What a contest this is right now.

    Tsitsipas is unable to take his big chance, however. A missed forehand allows Djokovic to hold and stay alive in this set.

  7. Djokovic saves set point

    Tsitsipas 3-6 5-4 Djokovic*

    Novak Djokovic is made to work hard for it, but an excellent forehand winner into the corner saves the set point.

    Deuce. This is tense.

  8. Tsitsipas 3-6 5-4 Djokovic*

    The umpire has to settle the crowd down as Djokovic prepares to serve. This really is a huge point.

  9. Set point Tsitsipas

    Tsitsipas 3-6 5-4 Djokovic*

    Tsitsipas can't apply serious pressure just yet as he clobbers a forehand wide, but he remains just two points from the set.

    Make that one! A big miss from Djokovic with a backhand and Tsitsipas has set point.

  10. Tsitsipas 3-6 5-4 Djokovic*

    An unforced error from Djokovic lets Tsitsipas in at 15-15.

    Oh, and there's another miss! The Greek is knocking on the door here.

  11. Tsitsipas 3-6 5-4 Djokovic*

    It's a testament to Tsitsipas' efforts in this second set that Djokovic appears so unhappy despite wrapping up the opening set with relative ease.

    The 24-year-old has a massive opportunity to unsettle the former world number one by getting his first break here.

    Even at the other end of the court, Djokovic will not leave Ivanisevic alone. I am not sure what they have done but Djokovic is giving it to them relentlessly.

  13. Tsitsipas 3-6 5-4 Djokovic*

    A miss from Tsitsipas, and then a backhand into the net.

    Djokovic reaches 40-30. Can Tsitsipas get over the line? He can. A Djokovic backhand goes long - and now the Greek has the second set in his sights...

    It feels as though Tsitsipas is doing all the right things, constructing the points in the right way. Djokovic got away with that one.

  15. *Tsitsipas 3-6 4-4 Djokovic

    There's no room for error from Tsitsipas here now. Any gifts could prove fatal against a serial winner on this court.

    There's no sign of nerves showing from the Greek though! He's upped his level, as he had to, and he follows up a forehand winner with a couple of aces for 40-0.

  16. *Tsitsipas 3-6 4-4 Djokovic

    Djokovic gets a slice of luck as he levels at 30-30, before Tsitsipas narrowly misses a backhand volley at the net.

    Such fine margins on Rod Laver Arena right now. Djokovic battles back to hold and the 'Nole' chants start up once again.

  17. Tsitsipas 3-6 4-3 Djokovic*

    Tsitsipas can sense an opportunity. A couple of unforced errors from an unsettled Djokovic take him to 15-30.

  18. Annabel Croft
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think it underlines the stress levels that Tsitsipas is causing for Djokovic. He is being pushed into more uncomfortable positions.

    If you start losing your composure and battling your coach and the opponent, it is exhausting and draining.

  19. Tsitsipas 3-6 4-3 Djokovic*

    You wouldn't like to be Goran Ivanisevic right now. He was receiving some right looks from Novak Djokovic during that change of ends. The former world number one must refocus as he attempts to level things up once again in this enthralling second set.

    Djokovic is eyeballing Goran Ivanisevic again. This is really strange to see. They are just glaring at each other.
