I'm gonna put it out there, as much as I'm shaking here, best set of tennis from 2011? How much are the french crowd hating on Nole by the way? Bloody brilliant for my bet!

Federer is the master at neutralising shots with his backhand though with different spins and chips and paces, ready to hit the huge FH. and he can smack it if the situation is right. The most important thing is fed's first serve. BTW what a point in the tiebreak just there

Say, has Roger got a new coach? Surely he's got Wrong Foot Expert now.

Djokovic seems to be getting a bit paranoid about his own movement, falling over his feet a little.

Joko looking a bit concerned I think, head down, subdued, awful drop shot and bizzare volley attempt. I think he thought he might have had a easy ride against fed, amazingly lol

Yes Djokovic just shrugging or smirking when he plays a poor shot. Maybe the long break since his last match hasn't helped him, but there's plenty of life left in this match.

This feels like a crucial game for Novak, nearly down 5-1 but holds and still in the set.

fed digs out of 0-30 hole and holds for 5-2.
