:00:33. > :00:38.Good afternoon and welcome to the 02 Arena once again. The group B
:00:38. > :00:44.was simple but the other group is a different ball game. Watching
:00:44. > :00:49.closely? What we are certain of his David Ferrer is through. The
:00:49. > :00:56.identity of the next qualifying is not straightforward. If Djokovic
:00:56. > :01:00.wins and Tomas Berdych wins, Djokovic is a fruit. If Tipsarevic
:01:00. > :01:06.wins and David Ferrer beats Tomas Berdych, Tipsarevic is true.
:01:06. > :01:11.Otherwise, Tomas Berdych gaze through. Still with me? If Djokovic
:01:11. > :01:15.beats Tipsarevic in straight sets, Tomas Berdych qualifies. If
:01:15. > :01:21.Djokovic beats Tipsarevic in three sets and Tomas Berdych wins by the
:01:21. > :01:27.same score, he qualifies. If Djokovic wins in a to Z and Tomas
:01:27. > :01:31.Berdych in a 3, Djokovic gaze through. But if Djokovic beats
:01:31. > :01:35.Tipsarevic in three sets and Tomas Berdych gain 2, Tomas Berdych will
:01:35. > :01:45.be in the semi-finals. Not all bad? I hope so. I will be asking
:01:45. > :01:49.
:01:49. > :01:54.questions. Clear as mud! What the players have got to accept his they
:01:54. > :01:58.have to win matches and let the computer to do the work. That is
:01:58. > :02:03.what they will be focused on. Cable go out and play and they have got
:02:03. > :02:07.to win Adie's matches and everything else will take over.
:02:07. > :02:13.That is straightforward. I think we will be able to work out a bit more
:02:13. > :02:19.when we have got more answers. cannot be sure who will finish top.
:02:19. > :02:23.David Ferrer is the leader but could finish second. But whatever
:02:23. > :02:32.happens in this first match, they have got to take care of business.
:02:32. > :02:39.But it as we expect, Djokovic wins, he will go through all Wilmot! --
:02:39. > :02:49.or he will not up. -- not go or he will not up. -- not go
:02:49. > :02:49.
:02:50. > :02:56.millions of times. That is today's match. This evening, David Ferrer
:02:56. > :03:00.against Tomas Berdych. Tipsarevic will not feature in the semi-finals.
:03:00. > :03:05.These are the matches tonight. As far as Djokovic is concerned, he
:03:05. > :03:10.has not been firing on all cylinders. He was lucky to get
:03:10. > :03:15.through his first match. I think he will have to try and restore
:03:15. > :03:18.personal pride after being beaten by David Ferrer. He was struggling
:03:18. > :03:23.and had not played that many and had not played that many
:03:23. > :03:26.matches but that was a stop -- shock. He wants to come out and put
:03:26. > :03:32.in a good performance for himself and get himself through to the
:03:32. > :03:40.semi-finals. We have got ranking points at stake and a lot of money
:03:40. > :03:46.at stake as well. But it is personal pride. He has got money.
:03:46. > :03:56.He was up to 49 in the world this year. He loves playing here and why
:03:56. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:38.not? Here they come. From Serbia, The 2011 Australian Open, Wimbledon
:04:38. > :04:47.and US Open champion, the winner of seven other World Tour titles this
:04:47. > :04:57.season, the world No. 1, from Serbia, a Novak Djokovic! -- Novak
:04:57. > :05:26.
:05:26. > :05:31.It certainly has been at this man's year. A lot of it he puts down to a
:05:31. > :05:36.change in diet. He has had a few physical problems but he has pulled
:05:36. > :05:41.out of quite a few matches and has had breathing problems and injuries.
:05:41. > :05:45.He has made some adjustments to his diet and his performance in the
:05:45. > :05:49.first half of the year was incredible. He did not lose any
:05:49. > :05:54.match until the French Open and he has backed it up with three out of
:05:54. > :05:59.four Grand Slams. Without having played that many matches in the
:06:00. > :06:06.past couple of months, his form does not look as good as it has
:06:06. > :06:14.been. He wants to finish on a positive net. The other be in his
:06:14. > :06:19.speech so it is a nation. -- the other the is the service. He has
:06:20. > :06:26.got a great position at the back and a perfect place. Last year he
:06:26. > :06:32.won have four matches against the top 10 opposition. This year, won
:06:32. > :06:42.21 and lost three Bostock he has beaten the Dal --. He has beaten
:06:42. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:01.the Dahl in two semi-finals. -- Tales. In front of 17,500 people.
:07:01. > :07:09.It is a nerve-racking experience. They will start a warm up up. It is
:07:09. > :07:14.a must win match for Djokovic. He has qualified for beed for that as
:07:14. > :07:24.far as this group is concerned, that has been decided. -- for this
:07:24. > :07:26.
:07:26. > :07:31.group before but as far as this 6-3 was the final set score against
:07:31. > :07:37.Rafael Nadal and he is on his way back to Spain. It was a tremendous
:07:37. > :07:41.performance for Tsonga, who has come of age. He could break the
:07:41. > :07:50.stranglehold of the top off. He could do it by himself by playing
:07:50. > :07:57.that kind of tennis. -- top four. He is known as the little Mohammed
:07:57. > :08:03.Ali. His mum and dad are here as well. He has always had the
:08:03. > :08:08.potential to be a great player. when he plays against the top my
:08:08. > :08:17.grip all, he has got the firepower to make them uncomfortable. -- the
:08:17. > :08:21.top four. With that type of athletic ability, he is able to
:08:21. > :08:27.make life uncomfortable and on this surface against Rafael Nadal, he
:08:27. > :08:37.was dictating bus-stop he was going for it --. He was going for
:08:37. > :08:39.
:08:39. > :08:46.beforehand. -- forget. -- he was going for it. He will through the
:08:46. > :08:53.kitchen sink at his apparent. He chose not to have a coach. --
:08:53. > :08:58.opponent. When he is confident like that in Paris and before that, he
:08:58. > :09:03.is quite a tough player. He is a Grand Slam finalist at the
:09:04. > :09:08.Australian Open. He has been thereabouts for quite a long time.
:09:08. > :09:14.As far as Rafael Nadal is concerned, As far as Rafael Nadal is concerned,
:09:14. > :09:18.he is running on empty this entire week. The aura is not quite around
:09:19. > :09:24.him. But he has said that he has not got any excuses but he will be
:09:24. > :09:31.back. He said he has got less passion for the game and that is a
:09:31. > :09:34.worry because that was his strength. And when he does not had that
:09:34. > :09:38.enthusiasm, that is a big loss to enthusiasm, that is a big loss to
:09:38. > :09:43.his game because he is an unbelievable competitor. He looked
:09:43. > :09:46.flat on the court last night. It meant something to him but it did
:09:46. > :09:52.not look like he had that burning desire to get through the match
:09:52. > :09:56.will stop he has got the Davis Cup for --. He has got the Davis Cup
:09:56. > :10:04.coming up and he will want to finish on a high and then he will
:10:04. > :10:14.get ready for 2012. Last year, it was the Davis Cup final that kick
:10:14. > :10:16.
:10:16. > :10:21.started Djokovic. Talk about national pride. It is a fiery area,
:10:21. > :10:28.Serbia. They feel passion when they played for their country and he won
:10:28. > :10:35.these matches and 41 more. That was an amazing year and particularly in
:10:35. > :10:41.the first half. We can hear from Djokovic it. What started after
:10:41. > :10:47.Australia? Could you had imagined the unbeaten run after that? I did
:10:47. > :10:52.not expect and imagine that. What was keeping me on the ground and
:10:52. > :10:57.keeping my focus was the fact that I was thinking only about the next
:10:57. > :11:02.match and tournament. I was not thinking in advance. When I got to
:11:02. > :11:07.the stage I did not lose all five months, people were thinking, when
:11:07. > :11:14.will it end? But I was not thinking about that. I was thinking about
:11:14. > :11:18.how many matches I can win. That helped a lot. I was using the
:11:18. > :11:26.experience I had in the last couple of years of competing with the best
:11:26. > :11:30.players. I think I was really consistent in the last four years.
:11:30. > :11:37.I won a major event and played in the semi-finals at quarter-finals
:11:37. > :11:41.of all the Grand Slams. But I could not make that final step. I was not
:11:41. > :11:47.feeling a lot of self-belief and confidence against Roger Federer
:11:47. > :11:56.and Rafael Nadal. That changed his year. I matured more and figured
:11:56. > :12:03.out things. What I should do and be approached two tournaments.
:12:04. > :12:08.when you did lose at Roland Garros to Roger Federer, maybe we had the
:12:08. > :12:13.chance that the season could have collapsed. You could have lost a
:12:13. > :12:19.few matches but that did not happened. How important was that?
:12:19. > :12:24.Very important. After I lost that match, it was not just about losing
:12:24. > :12:30.the first match in one a year, it was a very important semi-final at
:12:30. > :12:37.Roland Garros. It was a very close and epic match and one of the best
:12:37. > :12:45.this year. I'd lost to a better player at stake. But I was
:12:45. > :12:52.certainly disappointed. -- that day. But I was very proud of being able
:12:52. > :13:02.to recover mentally and motivate myself to play as well as I did in
:13:02. > :13:02.
:13:03. > :13:07.Wimbledon. Is that a career highlight? Definitely. It was a
:13:07. > :13:13.dream come true, winning that tournament. It is the number one
:13:13. > :13:18.place in the world. Being able to share that unforgettable experience
:13:18. > :13:22.with the closest people in my team and my family, my girlfriend and
:13:22. > :13:32.everybody was there, it was just really something I will always
:13:32. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:36.remember. Since he was a child he dreamed of winning Wimbledon and
:13:36. > :13:41.that came true last summer. He is that came true last summer. He is
:13:41. > :13:44.up against his good friend, Tipsarevic. He has an advantage in
:13:44. > :13:51.the head to head that they have all gone the distance and he has taken
:13:51. > :14:01.a set of Djokovic in all these meetings and that could be relevant.
:14:01. > :14:03.
:14:04. > :14:08.They are just about to get started! It is not far away, looking down on
:14:08. > :14:18.this wonderful arena. This match is very important. The last day of
:14:18. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :15:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:15:02. > :15:11.How different could this group been looking now with a few points here
:15:12. > :15:15.
:15:15. > :15:25.and there? The previous match was lost by Tomas Berdych but Djokovic
:15:25. > :15:45.
:15:45. > :15:50.You cannot win from the back of the court from too far behind the
:15:50. > :15:55.baseline against Djokovic. If you give him territory, he will spread
:15:55. > :16:05.you out wide and pick you off. Djokovic must find that balance
:16:05. > :16:09.
:16:09. > :16:16.I was just going to say before I was rudely interrupted by Sue
:16:16. > :16:21.Barker, what about playing a fellow countrymen? There is only one boss
:16:21. > :16:31.but they have always been quite tight matches. She mentioned that
:16:31. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:09.Too long. The first game, Djokovic. I think you are highly qualified to
:17:09. > :17:16.talk about playing fellow countrymen. Talk about what it was
:17:16. > :17:22.like playing great grisette ski in a big match. -- Greg Rusedski.
:17:22. > :17:27.was obviously a bit of rivalry and we both wanted to win badly. But in
:17:27. > :17:34.terms of the matches, I kind of enjoyed playing him but when I had
:17:34. > :17:37.to play Andy Murray are a few years later, I did not. Once I felt very
:17:38. > :17:43.comfortable and next, I felt uncomfortable and that was
:17:43. > :17:47.reflected in the results. That was style of play. That was one of the
:17:47. > :17:55.reasons you did not enjoy it against Andy Murray. The up and
:17:55. > :18:01.coming kid and you on the way out! But he had a great returned. It was
:18:01. > :18:09.a match that did not suit my height. Greg Rusedski had a good serve but
:18:09. > :18:13.I felt I returned OK. Tipsarevic obviously knows the game of
:18:13. > :18:23.Djokovic very well. It will be interesting to see if he can have
:18:23. > :18:50.
:18:50. > :18:53.Patients early on in a rally. Hitting the right ball in the right
:18:53. > :18:59.place, opening up the court and adding the technique to take
:18:59. > :19:09.advantage. What an advantage it has been to have Djokovic around
:19:09. > :19:23.
:19:23. > :19:33.Tipsarevic. Tennis is very high It is a formidable Davis Cup team
:19:33. > :19:52.
:19:52. > :20:00.Some years ago it was a Davis Cup tie in Glasgow with Serbia against
:20:00. > :20:03.Montenegro and Great Britain were involved. It was a superb match.
:20:03. > :20:08.This play a game of all the bites of somebody at could get into the
:20:08. > :20:18.top five but I did not think anybody could predict what happened
:20:18. > :20:18.
:20:18. > :21:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:21:53. > :21:58.-- all the brides of somebody that The best shot of both players is
:21:58. > :22:04.the backhand down the line. They look to bring back into play but
:22:04. > :22:14.never early in a rally. Now and again they throw a punch down the
:22:14. > :22:53.
:22:53. > :22:58.line but they look to manoeuvre as When you reflect on the year of
:22:58. > :23:05.Djokovic, he has been a very strong on a long rallies but this time, he
:23:05. > :23:08.has been the one making unforced errors. It is a small margin. He
:23:08. > :23:18.got hammered the other day by David Ferrer. That was a bruising
:23:18. > :23:46.
:23:46. > :23:51.-- that was a mistake. Out of the four games that the world's number
:23:51. > :23:59.one got in that match, it was the least amount a world No. 1 has got
:23:59. > :24:09.on talking about 24 years. That was since Ivan Lendl was beaten against
:24:09. > :24:19.
:24:19. > :24:25.But it takes some recovering from a beating like that. Will that be
:24:25. > :24:29.surprising? It will be a huge surprise. But the advantage of this
:24:29. > :24:39.format is he has got an opportunity team days later to put the record

:25:40. > :25:47.straight. -- two. That is why he is We can deal with a couple of issues
:25:47. > :25:53.around 10 years. This man could be the new Chief Executive officer,
:25:53. > :26:03.Richard Krajicek. What do you think Richard Krajicek. What do you think
:26:03. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:10.about that? It is a big my route. - - move. He has been around for a
:26:10. > :26:17.few years and done a good job in at Rotterdam. But to come into this
:26:17. > :26:24.position is a big position. He is a young man but he has got pretty
:26:24. > :26:32.limited experience. I heard on the grapevine he might be working in
:26:32. > :26:40.tandem with Mark Young. He has got much more business experience. But
:26:40. > :26:48.it will be interesting to see what happens. The other people
:26:48. > :26:52.approached are interesting as well. We have heard the possibility of a
:26:52. > :26:59.two-year ranking system instead of one year, currently in place. What
:26:59. > :27:09.do you think about that? Fought a two-year system, that protects the
:27:09. > :27:09.
:27:09. > :27:19.top players bulldog would --. -- a two-tier system will protect the
:27:19. > :27:20.
:27:20. > :27:27.top players. -- year. You want your best results to be reflected and if
:27:27. > :27:37.he had bad result, I think that should be reflected as well. --

:29:52. > :29:57.Tipsarevic and his follow-through Beautiful point. Well-constructed.
:29:57. > :30:03.When Djokovic came in after this shot, he was actually sliding on

:30:34. > :30:37.Talked about Tipsarevic being proactive and reactive. You feel
:30:37. > :30:47.like Djokovic is Saturdaying to dictate the points using that
:30:47. > :31:06.
:31:06. > :31:10.backhand down the line. Upping up the angles. The error is a result
:31:10. > :31:15.of the pressure that Tipsarevic was feeling from the other end of the
:31:15. > :31:19.court. I mean it would be nice when you are playing Djokovic if he
:31:19. > :31:24.would miss a ball at some point. When he gets into that frame of
:31:24. > :31:28.mind, where he is not going to miss, he doesn't. And when he he moves so
:31:28. > :31:38.well as the opponent you feel you have to go closer and closer to the

:32:20. > :32:24.UMPIRE: Challenge. Stop. Tipsarevic's challenged the call.
:32:24. > :32:29.The right baseline. So when you challenge like this you are in

:32:39. > :32:39.
:32:39. > :32:49.you are wrong you loose the point and I'm afraid the ball was good.

:33:58. > :34:02.The ball was called in. I think the lines man thinks it was probably
:34:02. > :34:09.out. I think he forgot say something, the challenge is already
:34:09. > :34:19.there. But actually. It is another perfect non-call. He looks like a
:34:19. > :34:22.genius. Yes, so two non-calls and they were perfect in that game. So
:34:22. > :34:27.we are looking at the world number one who has picked up as many games
:34:27. > :34:32.already in this match in 20 minute as he did against refer erefer of
:34:32. > :34:36.Spain. He is at the top of the world ranks by miles having won
:34:36. > :34:40.five of the masters events and three testify four Grand Slams. The
:34:40. > :34:43.only one he hasn't won was the French Open. That is the points
:34:43. > :34:46.system and the world ranking at the moment. And you can see on the
:34:46. > :34:52.right hand side how many points there are available. Roger Federer
:34:52. > :34:56.can still overtake Andy Murray, and end the year as number three. Andy
:34:56. > :35:02.Murray has been number four so it could end up that way again, we
:35:02. > :35:06.will see how it goes. This is what they are playing for. This week. As
:35:06. > :35:15.well as the money at the top which is, you know, serious amounts of
:35:15. > :35:19.money, the points are available here. Federer has 600 points
:35:19. > :35:24.already. Semifinal win. 400. Final win 500. So undefeated champion as
:35:24. > :35:31.Federer was last year would take him or give him a total of 1500
:35:31. > :35:36.points. To put that in perspective it is 2,000 for a Grand Slam trick
:35:36. > :35:40.-- victory. 1,000 for the Masters Series, 1,000 events. So I hope
:35:40. > :35:43.that is something of an explanation as to what is going on here P Do
:35:43. > :35:46.you ever think about the money or the points when you are playing at
:35:46. > :35:49.this level? I don't think at this level, but certainly when you are
:35:49. > :35:53.on your way up, and you know, you are playing for smuch smaller sums
:35:53. > :35:58.and you are trying to make ends meet an and thinking about the
:35:58. > :36:08.experiences that go with it, absolutely. Once you get here it is
:36:08. > :36:12.
:36:12. > :36:20.You spent about six months worrying all that sort of stuff then you
:36:20. > :36:30.were in the big time. It took me a bit longer than that. It has been -

:37:26. > :37:36.any of this time of -- type of You think maybe you have to put it
:37:36. > :38:00.
:38:00. > :38:03.down as a bad day at the office. Well Djokovic here managed to get
:38:03. > :38:07.his racket on the return, Tipsarevic could have gone anywhere
:38:07. > :38:12.here, and Djokovic had been standing there, for quite some time.
:38:12. > :38:22.He is getting ready for the next point, wasn't he. That is amazing.
:38:22. > :38:45.
:38:45. > :38:55.What does he wear those glasses for, Tim? I think they are lenses, they
:38:55. > :39:04.
:39:04. > :39:08.are... To aid his viewing, his Think you get different types of
:39:08. > :39:13.lenss for different light, so when he is indoor he will have one set,
:39:13. > :39:23.so when it is darker outside or very bright sunshine. There is a

:39:23. > :40:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:40:46. > :40:56.That was an important hold for him. Just outside the top 30 was his

:40:56. > :41:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:41:39. > :41:44.He held his follow through there. By the sound of hi grunt he felt
:41:44. > :41:48.like he made it. Pretty much whatever happened this was going to
:41:48. > :41:58.be the last shot of the rally. is called keeping your head down.
:41:58. > :42:23.
:42:23. > :42:33.It is four runs isn't it. It is A-ha! That was the worst drop shot
:42:33. > :42:41.
:42:41. > :42:45.A few camera lenses pointing away from the court when his girlfriend

:43:45. > :43:55.As he unless he finds some inspiration and starts hilting
:43:55. > :43:59.winners. How does he get back into this match from 5 will 2 down.
:43:59. > :44:03.There isn't necessarily a Plan B. He has to do Plan A a bit better
:44:03. > :44:08.and at the moment Djokovic is more offensive. He is moving Tipsarevic
:44:08. > :44:13.round, and not making too many unforced errors, so I think at this
:44:13. > :44:19.moment, he does, he has to raise his levels, and try and be that bit
:44:19. > :44:22.more aggressive without missing. And hope for a lapse of
:44:23. > :44:28.concentration from his opponent today, which doesn't seem likely,
:44:28. > :44:34.as he tries to make it through to the semifinals. Tipsarevic is the
:44:34. > :44:39.only one playing today, who can't be in those semifinals which take
:44:39. > :44:44.place over the weekend, final Sunday night. It is a bit of an
:44:44. > :44:47.advantage to yesterday's group, to Federer and Tsonga, who are already
:44:47. > :44:52.through to the semifinals, that they have this three matches in
:44:52. > :44:55.four day, rather than three matches in three day, as this group had.
:44:56. > :45:02.That is right. I guess that, you know, that is luck of the draw, but,
:45:02. > :45:08.at least this is only best of three sets, when you think of the
:45:08. > :45:12.schedules at the US Open which is horrendous for the players you have
:45:12. > :45:22.to play, where they split the first round Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
:45:22. > :45:22.
:45:22. > :46:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:46:40. > :46:44.That hit the top of the net. It was a searing forehand driver. He does
:46:44. > :46:48.this with the same technique as every other forehand. His technique
:46:48. > :46:58.is so sound. You might be able to see the top of the net. That is
:46:58. > :47:07.
:47:07. > :47:13.that that reaction is about, not Tipsarevic thinks the world is
:47:13. > :47:23.against him at the moment. Perhaps hasn't had the rub of the green.
:47:23. > :47:23.
:47:23. > :48:11.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:48:50. > :49:07.
:49:07. > :49:11.Two set points saved. Now game So he will be looking the attack
:49:11. > :49:19.strongly here, not hang round on the baseline. You have to be
:49:19. > :49:23.patient but wouldn't be surprised if he has a cut and hits it. A and
:49:23. > :49:33.it will test Djokovic's never as well. It is not necessarily plain
:49:33. > :50:09.
:50:09. > :50:13.Oh yes. Great defence. Good point That is where Djokovic is so good.
:50:13. > :50:23.He is most, he is the player that is able to be offensive in a
:50:23. > :50:47.
:50:47. > :50:50.defensive position. He is so I think it is deforlising to play
:50:50. > :50:54.against when you feel yoiing should be rewarded, the ball comes back
:50:54. > :51:04.and you start the rally again b and that is when the unforced errors
:51:04. > :51:11.
:51:11. > :51:16.May as well challenge it, because the chances are there is only one
:51:16. > :51:26.point left in the set and he still has a challenge. And of course it
:51:26. > :51:43.
:51:43. > :51:47.is on the line. Three more set That was a very tidy set of tennis
:51:47. > :51:54.and a great response to the loss he suffered at the hands of Ferrer the
:51:54. > :51:57.other night. SUE BARKER: It feels it is anything you can do I can do
:51:57. > :52:03.better as far as Djokovic is concerned. He is a great champion
:52:03. > :52:06.on the court but a trifi personality off it. There was a
:52:06. > :52:12.lovely illustration when after a training session he decided to
:52:12. > :52:18.learn how to be a ball kid and he was learn there from Charlie Heaton.
:52:18. > :52:24.Eventually he got it right. There we go. And even after this drill,
:52:24. > :52:31.the world number one wanted to find out more. If the player asks me for
:52:31. > :52:41.a towel and he is being rude, what should I do? Just granite. So if
:52:41. > :52:57.
:52:57. > :53:00.you ask for a towel. Say you are a By more kind! Cheers. Cheers.
:53:00. > :53:10.more kind. Thanks for the lesson. I didn't know the players were that
:53:10. > :53:12.
:53:12. > :53:17.Intark we will watch how he takes the towel from the ball kids today.
:53:17. > :53:23.That is a day they will remember, indeed I bumped into kids outside
:53:23. > :53:27.from Barnstaple who came. They said they could never get tickets for
:53:27. > :53:31.Wimbledon or Queens. Here they would watch the best. Here are
:53:31. > :53:38.watching the best in the world. I hope they are learning. Back we go

:58:09. > :58:14.Didn't need to be that aggressive. Djokovic made four unforced error

:58:47. > :58:53.set when you make four unforced It is only the first game of a set

:59:54. > :59:58.APPLAUSE. It is nice the see some variation, somebody coming to the

:00:08. > :00:34.
:00:34. > :00:38.Of all of the people at the top of the game, Djokovic hits inside the
:00:38. > :00:47.line in the middle of the court more than anybody. A big margin for
:00:47. > :00:57.error. Not as high as Rafael Nadal and not as much top spin. Big areas

:02:11. > :02:16.Tipsarevic playing very strong deuce point. It looks like he has

:02:26. > :02:54.
:02:54. > :03:03.ends up dictating. Another chance It is an eight-minute game at the
:03:03. > :03:10.start of the second set. It is very important. His wife and family are
:03:10. > :03:20.there looking a bit nervous. It is a battle out there. A must-win game

:04:33. > :04:43.serving again. This is his serve direction. He likes to go out wide
:04:43. > :04:49.a lot to be Tipsarevic forehand. The speed is only 112 but the wider
:04:49. > :04:53.one his where the spin takes effect. That is why his first serve

:09:22. > :09:26.of first serves. He is winning 86 % That is the beauty of the two-

:09:57. > :10:07.Djokovic really has not been missing shots like that this year.
:10:07. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:18.Is he getting a bit stale? Struggling to find the passion?
:10:18. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:30.might be to do with lack of matches He has played a lot of matches in

:10:40. > :10:40.
:10:40. > :11:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:11:53. > :12:00.that is not expected. And he knows Chased that one! That really is cat
:12:00. > :12:08.and mouse. It is relentless, when he hits this powerfully and
:12:08. > :12:13.accurately. It is very difficult to compete against. You just get
:12:13. > :12:23.exhausted down the other end. They make you run until you cannot run

:13:32. > :13:39.He has had a couple of tough games and he has done up well. He is
:13:39. > :13:44.keeping it as close as he possibly can. 27 years old and he has had
:13:44. > :13:54.the year of his life, 49 Q 9 in the the year of his life, 49 Q 9 in the
:13:54. > :14:00.rankings. He was in the top 30 and the final in Eastbourne. Then he
:14:00. > :14:08.had an excellent heart court summer. Semi-finals in Washington and
:14:08. > :14:17.Canada. He has previously beaten Tomas Berdych and was beaten by
:14:17. > :14:24.Djokovic. He has also won and Kuala Lumpur. After the US Open, he has
:14:24. > :14:29.consistently built up and he finds himself in the top 10. He was only
:14:29. > :14:35.here after Andy Murray pulled out with a groin strain. He took his
:14:35. > :14:42.place in this particular group. He deserves to be here. That is a
:14:42. > :14:47.massive leap, from 49. It certainly is. When you have got a group of
:14:47. > :14:55.players from the same country and you have seen that with the Spanish,
:14:55. > :15:01.the French, Serbia has got a new generation. The success of Djokovic

:15:58. > :16:08.
:16:08. > :16:15.of something at the end of the year. Talking about the next generation
:16:15. > :16:25.of Serbian players, Djokovic has got a younger brother playing in

:19:07. > :19:17.on serve. He is into a nice rhythm. There was nothing wrong with that
:19:17. > :19:27.belief. He hit a great volley and he still missed the point. We all

:34:15. > :34:18.joined by Tsonga, who came through after winning that match against
:34:18. > :34:21.the former world number one Rafael Nadal in three sets. So it is still
:34:21. > :34:26.all to play for in this group. But Djokovic knows how important it is
:34:26. > :34:31.to try and win in straight sets. Will he go through along with David
:34:31. > :34:36.Ferrer. We don't foe who will play tomorrow, but we will be on the air
:34:36. > :34:42.on BBC Two at 2.00. Join us then. So let us rejoin the match. We have
:34:42. > :34:45.ten minutes to go on BBC Two. We will stay with the tennis on the
:34:45. > :34:50.BBC HD channel and on the red button. For the next few minutes on
:34:50. > :34:53.two we are staying with the match. Thank you Sue. I am glad you didn't
:34:53. > :34:57.go through too many of the scenarios in this group because
:34:57. > :35:01.there are so many of them. As you were saying both player,
:35:01. > :35:05.particularly Djokovic, knows that, you know, wib the match, just go
:35:05. > :35:11.and do the job. No matter what happens, it all depends on the
:35:11. > :35:16.match later on, between Berdych and Ferrer who goes through from the
:35:16. > :35:22.group. Berdych or Djokovic, with Ferrer, he could win this match,
:35:22. > :35:27.and not go through, or he could lose this match and go through. So
:35:27. > :35:37.it is all in other people's hands. He is taking care of business. He
:35:37. > :35:52.
:35:52. > :35:56.is back on serve with his older Djokovic goes out there, plays the
:35:56. > :36:01.right way, plays to his capability, he is going to win. If he does that,
:36:02. > :36:11.then everything will take care of itself. Or not. As the case may be.
:36:12. > :36:12.
:36:12. > :37:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:37:56. > :38:00.You would never call Djokovic one of the natural volleyers. You make
:38:00. > :38:05.them play a volley in this day and age when they come to the net,
:38:05. > :38:15.because the quality of volley, the technique of the volleyer these
:38:15. > :38:26.
:38:26. > :38:33.And that missed volley on the previous point has cost Djokovic.
:38:33. > :38:43.He may change this. But from an admittedly long away way. It felt
:38:43. > :38:43.
:38:43. > :39:33.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:39:33. > :39:37.like the ball was slightly mishit And a that frame has take an bit of
:39:37. > :39:45.a hammering. It doesn't leave a dent on this court like it would at
:39:45. > :39:53.Wimbledon, but I I this -- nothing changes itment -- changes it. Focus.
:39:53. > :40:03.Fairly straightforward. international sign language of
:40:03. > :40:05.
:40:05. > :40:15.I think his coach probably senses that Djokovic is not at his best
:40:15. > :40:24.
:40:24. > :40:30.here, by any means. That means That second serve is where Djokovic
:40:30. > :40:35.has had problems in the past. You saw no extension, no weight going
:40:35. > :40:45.up; it was collapsing on his left side and the ball just dying into
:40:45. > :40:56.
:40:56. > :41:06.What will he do with this second serve? Find out in about 20 minutes
:41:06. > :41:40.
:41:40. > :41:45.I tell you what, that was tight. That was coming with respect, that
:41:46. > :41:50.was back to under 12s and under 14s wasn't it. Just trying to get the
:41:50. > :41:56.ball back in to play. Up and down the middle and just going to show
:41:56. > :41:58.that any player at any level welcome back affected by the nerve,
:41:58. > :42:03.and Djokovic very tentative on the second serve and even more so with
:42:03. > :42:13.the ground strokes and making the unforced error to give Tipsarevic
:42:13. > :42:21.
:42:21. > :42:26.Yesterday afternoon's match Federer and Fish, there wasn't a lot on
:42:26. > :42:32.that match apart from the chance to see these two players playing a
:42:32. > :42:42.lovely set of tennis. They wanted a third set then, this crowd would
:42:42. > :42:56.
:42:56. > :43:00.You see Djokovic in those last three point, you have to have a
:43:00. > :43:10.plan, a purpose to what you are doing, the idea of not missing,
:43:10. > :43:10.
:43:10. > :44:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:44:06. > :44:16.keeping the ball in players it is Not this time. But Tipsarevic still
:44:16. > :44:20.
:44:20. > :44:29.After putting Tipsarevic under so much pressure on his serve, from
:44:29. > :44:39.the first three service games, his concentration has faded away and
:44:39. > :45:01.
:45:01. > :45:06.the second set is going the same That's it, another error from
:45:06. > :45:11.Djokovic. Tipsarevic has taken a set. It is a one set shoot out in
:45:11. > :45:14.this group match. SUE BARKER: On BBC Two, if you are watching we are
