    Jack Sock's playing a serious game out there as he thumps the ball towards Federer, who can only knock the ball down in front of him.

    Feels like a library in here now. Silence, largely. Especially when Tiafoe and Sock take control of the tie-break.

    Fedal - and their supporters - need a second wind before the match tie-break.
