    In the games, they're not really getting the ball back much but then in the tie-breaks, it's like they're seeing the ball better. It's extraordinary.

    Jordan Thompson hits a lightning second serve. He took a risk but wow it paid off.

    But then we swing back another way as the Aussies net.

    Of course we were going to be even at the change of ends. So, so apt for this stunning, stunning final.

    It just had to be a 10-point tie-break for the glory. Both pairings have had chances to win both of the previous two tie-breaks. Who can hold their collective nerve in this one?
