    Sorry but isn't this just the best thing about tennis?

    Two sets down and looking completely out of it but Novak Djokovic could genuinely win this match from here.

    French Open flashbacks for the top seed?

    It's very surprising that a 30-0 up he played that game as poor as he did. It just shows you that in a best of five it's inevitable there will be ebb and flows. He just allowed this great champion to get into this match. To get some belief. To get some energy.

    The crowd are very much on Novak Djokovic's side now.

    They want to see a match here on Centre Court and it looks like they could still get one as the former champion holds to 15 and consolidates the break.

    Suddenly the pressure is all on Jannik Sinner in this third set.

    Novak Djokovic has looked basically down and out for much of this.

    But this crowd are firmly on his side and sometimes that's all he needs to gather a bit of momentum and perhaps shake the top seed up a bit.

    You never know.

    It was almost like Sinner broke himself.

    It's the first time of some positive energy from Novak. Such a loose game from Sinner but the crowd and Djokovic are now into this.

    Surely not?

    And he can take it!

    Is this where the comeback starts?

    It is a long road back for Novak Djokovic but he is a break up in this third set.

    The question now is how well can Novak Djokovic move around the court?

    He brings Jannik Sinner into the net on the Italian's serve and gets a sniff in the game at 30-15.

    Perhaps more than a sniff as Sinner hits into the net.

    What's this? A complete shank into the skies from the top seed and it is break point Djokovic...

    Whatever the trainer did seems to have done the trick for now.

    Four big serves from Novak Djokovic and he gets himself on the board straightaway in this third set with an easy hold to love.

    It is not the first time that we have seen this over the past 12 days.

    Novak Djokovic slipped in his quarter-final and he seems to be getting treatment to the area inside his leg that looked to tweak at the time.

    Is there a way back for the 24-time Grand Slam champion?

    No surprise to see the trainer out for Novak Djokovic here.

    As we know he did suffer a nasty fall earlier this week. Is he struggling with that?

    Sealed with an ace.

    This has been a masterclass from Jannik Sinner.

    There is not much that Novak Djokovic can do against the power and accuracy of the Italian and Sinner is just one set away from the final.

    *Sinner 6-3 5-3 Djokovic

    We are not used to seeing this from Novak Djokovic.

    The Serb trades heavy groundstrokes with Jannik Sinner, but it is Djokovic who falters first and hits it into the net while stumbling over his own feet.

    Two big serves from the Italian and two set points.

    Genuine encouragement from the Centre Court crowd for Novak Djokovic. I think they have been a little stunned by what they've seen here.

    Normally it's cheers of wonder, awe. Here we've got the genuine prospect of Djokovic actually just being thumped by Jannik Sinner.

    There's been a wry smile or two from the seven-time champion here. He feels it too.

    Novak Djokovic's serve has kept him in this set.

    He finally sees the game out and asks the serve-it-out question of Jannik Sinner.

    This game is a real struggle from Novak Djokovic.

    Jannik Sinner is pushing sixth seed to his limits as he chases down everything that Djokovic is throwing at him.

    Another mistake from Djokovic and we have our fifth deuce.

    Sinner 6-3 5-2 Djokovic*

    Back to deuce as Novak Djokovic leaves the court open for Sinner to hit a winner into.

    Another big serve brings up game point again, can he take it this time?

    No.

    A mistake from the Serb's racquet and we are at deuce again.

    So far he looks resigned. You don't see that very often from Djokovic. It's a true rarity.

    A much-needed ace saves the set point and a second brings up game point.
