:38:19. > :38:23.Definitely. Not always a believer in that, but on this occasion,
:38:24. > :38:28.definitely. From the end part of the fourth and beginning of the
:38:28. > :38:36.fifth, it is like he has decided not to go into the body so much and
:38:36. > :38:43.try and get cheap points. He is hitting them so accurately he is
:38:43. > :38:47.getting some free points. For a large portion of the match it
:38:47. > :38:51.looked like Djokovic was never going to return them deep. He is

:41:22. > :42:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds

:05:58. > :06:02.The players cannot afford to look back too far in a match like this,
:06:02. > :06:07.when they are pulling on all of their reserves and their training

:09:11. > :09:19.haven't got enough left under run UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging

:09:29. > :10:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:10:54. > :10:58.Called out. Are you sure? He has the right to challenge. He knows
:10:58. > :11:07.that forehand didn't feel right of the racket, and suddenly, Djokovic
:11:07. > :11:17.is looking for a third game in a row. He is two. Us up from the
:11:17. > :11:33.
:11:33. > :11:41.Oh, yes. What are timed to flatten that one out, he went for it. --
:11:41. > :11:51.what a time. It has been a big feature in this blast set and a
:11:51. > :12:21.
:12:21. > :12:29.half, his first serve has just been The world number one senses that
:12:29. > :12:35.this could be his moment. Perfect but work, in swinging serve, makes
:12:36. > :12:45.enough room -- perfect for at work. It looks so simple and it is so
:12:46. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:30.He has dragged it wide. Where has this come from. Incredible.
:13:30. > :13:35.where has this come from? That challenge that people seem to think

:14:43. > :14:47.that serve, he is not thinking about it just getting in there, he
:14:47. > :14:53.is going for the big one and that one came off again beautifully. He
:14:53. > :15:03.kept his nerve on the drop shot as well. Great recovery by Djokovic
:15:03. > :15:03.

:15:55. > :16:00.And it is Nadal who is one game There haven't been any better Grand
:16:00. > :16:04.Slam matches than this final. Obviously, thoughts of 2008,
:16:04. > :16:12.Wimbledon, with it all on the line, Federer and Nadal, that was a
:16:12. > :16:16.changing of the guard. But this is right up there. It is, no question
:16:16. > :16:21.about it. It is staggering, the way they are still playing, at this
:16:21. > :16:27.stage of the match. It is difficult to predict what is going to happen.
:16:27. > :16:32.You have got no idea. One moment Nadal looks like he is in charge,
:16:32. > :16:42.then Djokovic comes back. That game was from nowhere, then that rescued

:25:33. > :25:43.such pace. After that, it was just scrambling, moving, all about

:26:40. > :26:46.It actually landed so short in the service box, it went away with the

:27:33. > :27:41.Wide. Oh, somebody in the crowd, I
:27:41. > :27:50.think... Had said out, down at the Nadal end on the Djokovic ground
:27:50. > :28:00.serve. Rafa saying, that put me off. I'm afraid even if that is the case,

:28:37. > :28:41.each. It is a record for the each. It is a record for the
:28:41. > :28:51.Australian Open in terms of trade - - duration of match. I think it
:28:51. > :28:51.
:28:51. > :28:56.must be a record for the sheer passion. Where has Djokovic got
:28:56. > :29:00.this energy from? It is incredible. Talk about being in good shape.
:29:00. > :29:04.After the match against Murray, to come back against Nadal for this
