:00:34. > :00:40.Do you ever get that feeling of having seen the same thing twice?

:00:41. > :00:42.Novak Djokavic and Roger Federer will experience that today having

:00:43. > :00:51.already met in this tournament in the group match on Tuesday. It is a

:00:52. > :00:57.little piece of brilliance. Roger Federer undefeated in the group.

:00:58. > :01:02.These two men have dominated this event in recent years with at least

:01:03. > :01:09.one of them in every final but one since 2003. Today, Roger looks to

:01:10. > :01:13.get a seventh victory at the tour final. Novak Djokavic will hope to

:01:14. > :01:20.clinch a fifth title the first man to win four in a row. Please, do not

:01:21. > :01:29.adjust your set. It is time for Djokavic Federer take two. Beating

:01:30. > :01:33.Djokavic ones any week is hard enough and beating him twice is a

:01:34. > :01:37.huge challenge. This is the last tournament match of the year. We

:01:38. > :01:43.will finish in style. Only one of them will lift this coveted full

:01:44. > :01:47.fee. Tim and Andrew are with me for this final. One thing Roger knows is

:01:48. > :01:51.that it will be a different Djokavic tonight. He did not play very well

:01:52. > :01:58.in the first encounter. Roger did, he sliced and diced. Djokavic make

:01:59. > :02:02.mistakes. We're not going to see those mistakes again. Too big

:02:03. > :02:09.Djokavic take -- twice any week is a joke. Federer is not thinking about

:02:10. > :02:13.the experience at 34, he just wants to go out. To watch Federer in full

:02:14. > :02:18.flow time to make that happen, that is the special thing about this

:02:19. > :02:23.match. Federer has given him trouble this year. He is for-3 down in the

:02:24. > :02:27.head-to-head but one two out of the last three. You can get that much

:02:28. > :02:31.they played in the round-robin and it will not have much bearing. I

:02:32. > :02:36.think the intensity levels went down for Djokavic in the second set. This

:02:37. > :02:42.is a different scenario. Both players through to the final. It is

:02:43. > :02:45.going to be clever Federer can maintain that controlled aggression

:02:46. > :02:50.or whether Djokavic can dominate those baseline points. It is a great

:02:51. > :02:53.way for this tournament to come to a close. Djokavic has one of the

:02:54. > :03:01.greatest years in the history of the sport. It is ridiculous. In the

:03:02. > :03:09.final of every Grand Slam. We talk about Serena Williams doing that. He

:03:10. > :03:14.has put together the most remarkable year. He has got a presence on court

:03:15. > :03:21.which electrifies people. He does not look like people make mistakes.

:03:22. > :03:25.Remarkable. He dismantled Rafael Nadal yesterday. He certainly dead.

:03:26. > :03:29.They are both such great athlete. You can hear through our microphones

:03:30. > :03:36.the anticipation that the crowd have for this match. It is a fitting

:03:37. > :03:40.finale to end 2015 with the man who has dominated the year, Novak

:03:41. > :03:44.Djokavic, up against arguably the greatest of all time and a huge

:03:45. > :03:47.favourite everywhere he goes, Roger Federer. Both players will get a

:03:48. > :03:54.huge ovation when they come out on court. The six time finals

:03:55. > :04:01.champion. When 88 including 17 Grand Slam clowns. From Switzerland, Roger

:04:02. > :04:29.Federer. APPLAUSE

:04:30. > :04:40.Ladies and gentlemen, making his ninth appearance, winning 60 titles.

:04:41. > :04:46.And ten Grand Slams. The defending champion and the ATP world number

:04:47. > :05:18.one, from Serbia, Novak Djokavic. APPLAUSE

:05:19. > :05:26.What an ovation. First for Roger and also for Novak Djokavic. He says he

:05:27. > :05:30.does not get the appreciation of respect the admiration of the crowds

:05:31. > :05:35.around the world. In London they told him the respect everything he

:05:36. > :05:39.has done. Djokavic is popular wherever he plays. It is unfortunate

:05:40. > :05:42.that when you are kind to make a comparison against Roger Federer,

:05:43. > :05:46.every game is a home game for Federer because he is so popular

:05:47. > :05:51.throughout the world. At times it has got underneath the skin of

:05:52. > :05:55.Djokavic. That he has not had the warmth from the crowd. I think that

:05:56. > :06:01.now on the back of the year he has had, 28 years of age, he has the

:06:02. > :06:08.ESPN is not to let that fester. Such great motivation, he has. From 18

:06:09. > :06:13.months ago, he is a changed man. He has made changes to his physical

:06:14. > :06:17.shape and game and is almost the perfect tennis player. 18 months at

:06:18. > :06:21.number one and will finish the year at number one. The motivation when

:06:22. > :06:25.everyone is shooting at you, you have to look to ways to add to your

:06:26. > :06:30.game and he does. What can Roger do about it tonight?

:06:31. > :06:41.Same conditions as always. We will have television changeovers. Two

:06:42. > :06:44.challenges per sec and one more in the tie-break. If you want to

:06:45. > :06:57.challenge let me know immediately. Any questions? Heads. Tables, Roger.

:06:58. > :07:09.Serve. Roger Federer winning the toss and

:07:10. > :07:16.elected to serve. It is going to see the great -- great to see the great

:07:17. > :07:20.defence against each other. We will be in for an absolute treat. They

:07:21. > :07:24.have produced so many great matches and lighters will be around for

:07:25. > :07:28.another one today. We talked about Djokavic going through against Rafa

:07:29. > :07:33.Nadal. Last night, Roger Federer went through against his Swiss come

:07:34. > :07:45.victory at Stan Wawrinka. It was a 17 minute work-out. We went through

:07:46. > :07:54.75, 6-3. There was a warm handshake and warm words at the net. That is

:07:55. > :07:59.what happened last night. That match was difficult for Roger Federer but

:08:00. > :08:03.he dismissed Stan Wawrinka. He has changed his racket and moved to the

:08:04. > :08:07.bigger style which has helped his game and continued his run at the

:08:08. > :08:14.top. The racket he was using before had a small head. It was only 90

:08:15. > :08:19.square inches. This one is about 98. It is a significant change and it is

:08:20. > :08:27.wider so it has more power. He has more area on his backhand. It is

:08:28. > :08:30.difficult for him to time the ball perfectly. It is a big change

:08:31. > :08:35.because he had won so much with that bracket. To change the tool of your

:08:36. > :08:39.trade you have to be pretty confident you will be adding

:08:40. > :08:45.something. It really has. We talked about history repeating itself this

:08:46. > :08:48.week. It was Federer and bring to that played in the semifinals last

:08:49. > :08:56.year and that is when Federer got injured. -- and Stan Wawrinka. I am

:08:57. > :09:00.pleased to see both players on the court that and healthy. Federer

:09:01. > :09:05.unbeaten this week and looking so good. He always plays well in this

:09:06. > :09:09.tournament. He was nervous when he started against Tomas Berdych and

:09:10. > :09:13.lost his opening service game. He talked about the week before. Still

:09:14. > :09:17.getting nervous despite the 17 Grand Slam titles and all the achievements

:09:18. > :09:23.he has got. This is why he has stayed at the top, he hates losing.

:09:24. > :09:27.Very soothing, soothing, stylish, elegant and powerful but ultimately

:09:28. > :09:30.a competitor. The manner in which he competes makes it look easy for

:09:31. > :09:37.him. He is happy to still do the work. He loves this entire thing.

:09:38. > :09:41.From that ovation you can hear just how much the fans loved him as well.

:09:42. > :09:45.We will talk more about this match up any moment. Let us hear from both

:09:46. > :09:50.players. They both really love the challenge of playing at this event.

:09:51. > :09:55.I love the prestige they are playing against top ten players. All

:09:56. > :10:01.condensed in a two days. The round-robin format is very unique.

:10:02. > :10:05.It depends on how you see it. I have looked on it as an unbelievable

:10:06. > :10:09.honour to qualify and it is the goal at the beginning of the year to

:10:10. > :10:13.qualify because it is not a given you will be part of it. It is an

:10:14. > :10:18.elite group. It is a privilege to be part of it and in the finals here

:10:19. > :10:23.for the seventh time is exciting. I am happy that I managed to can stain

:10:24. > :10:30.concentration and energy levels. It is not easy. To be as fresh as I

:10:31. > :10:36.felt midyear. I know there's one more to go hopefully I can play my

:10:37. > :10:40.best. Half of his defeats all year are inflicted by you, does I give

:10:41. > :10:45.you confidence going into the final? It should give me confidence. It is

:10:46. > :10:49.not so easy to tell yourself that you have never done it before, this

:10:50. > :10:54.year, in your career. We have beaten one another many times. We both

:10:55. > :10:58.going in with confidence. His confidence is higher because of the

:10:59. > :11:03.amount of matches he has one and being on this unbelievable streak of

:11:04. > :11:08.14 or 15 straight finals in a brawl at tournaments. It is incredible.

:11:09. > :11:13.But because I have beaten him this week I feel like if I can play

:11:14. > :11:17.somewhere near to that and make it difficult again for Novak Djokavic,

:11:18. > :11:22.who knows, there is something to play for. It is really hard to do to

:11:23. > :11:26.beat the same gateways, especially when it is Novak Djokavic. I have to

:11:27. > :11:34.play better than I did that day. Not much was going my way. He did well

:11:35. > :11:36.tactically. I made lots of unforeseen errors and I will have to

:11:37. > :11:48.move better. And returned better than I did. They are both playing

:11:49. > :11:52.for history. Roger going for seven at this event. Djokavic has won at

:11:53. > :11:56.four times and is looking for four any road to be the first ever to do

:11:57. > :12:01.that. Djokavic in one of his interviews says he always has room

:12:02. > :12:07.for improvement. It is the room for improvement in his game? I suppose

:12:08. > :12:12.it is his overhead. How are you going to exploit that? I saw her on

:12:13. > :12:17.this one earlier this year. Listen to the reception for him. Great to

:12:18. > :12:22.hear that. One facet of the match from previously this week, Federer

:12:23. > :12:26.served magnificently. In terms of using the playing surface and

:12:27. > :12:30.getting Djokavic off-balance and away from the centre of the court,

:12:31. > :12:36.or at least the baseline, Roger Federer's serve will be massive. The

:12:37. > :12:44.cake itself and the wide serve. That is very important. If Djokavic is in

:12:45. > :12:48.the middle of the court playing his technical ground strokes, Roger

:12:49. > :12:51.cannot win. It is up to Roger to make something happen. This is the

:12:52. > :12:53.match this is the Matchless tournament deserved. There has been

:12:54. > :13:03.some matches we are players have looked tired. He has got Stefan

:13:04. > :13:08.Edberg in his corner and he has improved his volley. He has to use

:13:09. > :13:11.every attribute of his game. He will not stand at the back of the court

:13:12. > :13:15.and try to trade with Novak Djokavic. The way that Djokavic has

:13:16. > :13:20.been hitting his ground strokes and how athletic years with his

:13:21. > :13:27.movement, he seems unbeaten. If they can really look to dictate with the

:13:28. > :13:34.first three four shots of the rally, if it goes to eat or ten shots, that

:13:35. > :13:39.will play into Djokavic's hands. It is lovely to see his transition from

:13:40. > :13:43.defence into friends. It is beautiful to watch. We are all set

:13:44. > :13:47.for this match. We want you to get involved as well on social media. We

:13:48. > :13:50.want to know who you will thank -- who you think will win the four

:13:51. > :15:02.Grand Slams next year. COMMENTATOR: The players did well to

:15:03. > :15:05.maintain concentration. UMPIRE: Please remain in silence during the

:15:06. > :16:37.points. APPLAUSE

:16:38. > :16:45.Once those of valleys go past eight, ten, 12 shots, you feel that is

:16:46. > :17:11.playing into Djokavic's hands and Federer has to try to get on top.

:17:12. > :17:17.Out of all the stats that we get, the second serve points for the

:17:18. > :17:51.week, Federer 48 and Djokavic at 62. Which says is that when Federer is

:17:52. > :17:54.at the back of the court against Djokavic, trading ground strokes, it

:17:55. > :17:56.is not natural for him to be. A rally late that is very satisfying

:17:57. > :18:30.for him. We get a lot of statistics. We do

:18:31. > :18:36.not figure it all out on a computer ourselves. One of the ones that we

:18:37. > :18:41.have been told all week, and now turns out to be inaccurate, is that

:18:42. > :18:45.if Roger Federer goes through unbeaten in this tournament and Andy

:18:46. > :18:51.Murray does not win two matches, he will be the world number two. Roger

:18:52. > :18:56.Federer. That is not strictly true because the Davis Cup carries 18

:18:57. > :19:00.points and we had, -- clarification today. Even if Federer wins this,

:19:01. > :20:03.Andy Murray could still end the year at number two.

:20:04. > :20:20.Boris Becker, happy birthday to him. Lord in 67, 48 years old today. --

:20:21. > :20:59.born in 67. That is the other man in the Djokavic camp.

:21:00. > :21:03.It is amazing the level of play and the intensity from the word go. No

:21:04. > :21:30.opportunity to ease into it. Federer saved a break point in Game

:21:31. > :22:11.one and a Djokavic facing a break point in game two.

:22:12. > :22:20.A 10th world tour 's final final form Roger Federer. 16, lost three.

:22:21. > :23:13.Djokavic unbeaten in finals. He has one four.

:23:14. > :23:25.15 finals you see in a row for her husband. That is the record, is it

:23:26. > :23:35.not? The last time it was done was 13 in

:23:36. > :24:00.1977. Federer a group to get forward in

:24:01. > :24:53.that rally but he knew he had to choose the right shot to coming on.

:24:54. > :24:59.That again emphasises the point, when you come to the net against

:25:00. > :25:02.Djokavic, you know you will have difficult volleys. 124 mph serve in

:25:03. > :25:36.the corner. That was important! And the backhand

:25:37. > :25:39.down the line won the point but the defence and the athleticism, is what

:25:40. > :26:07.got him through it. Look to be white, didn't it? UMPIRE:

:26:08. > :27:08.Challenging the call. It is wide, second serve.

:27:09. > :27:23.Djokavic was too solid. He gets the break first. Totally different than

:27:24. > :27:27.the group match. We expected that. Yesterday, Tim, Djokavic did not

:27:28. > :27:34.lose a point against Nadal in the second set of the match behind his

:27:35. > :27:40.first serve. There is margin for error in the game. He hits the ball

:27:41. > :27:47.so high. And then inside the lines. He is able to play with such an

:27:48. > :27:51.intensity with his shots and his movement but still keep the unforced

:27:52. > :27:57.errors down. When you reflect back to the match they played in the

:27:58. > :28:02.round robin group, Djokavic only 151% of points painters first serve.

:28:03. > :28:10.That'll be a story today. -- only was victorious in 51%. It is not the

:28:11. > :28:14.court that you conserve someone off the court. There will be

:28:15. > :28:21.opportunities and will be about who takes those chances. They played in

:28:22. > :28:25.this arena before but the court was quicker, it is slow this year.

:28:26. > :28:31.Federer beat Djokavic with the loss of four games. He basically half

:28:32. > :28:35.volleyed winners. It was an extraordinary performance. One feels

:28:36. > :28:40.that is the level that he will need to gain a victory here. He is one

:28:41. > :28:44.break down to the top seed, Novak Djokavic. The final of the season at

:28:45. > :28:51.the ending championships and pleasure to have your company on BBC

:28:52. > :28:52.Two. We will be on BBC Three from 7pm this evening. Change if you want

:28:53. > :30:51.to stay with us. Two ground strokes from Djokovic in

:30:52. > :32:00.a row. Out of character. This World Number 1 with his record

:32:01. > :32:04.lead at the top of the world rankings has inflected so much pain

:32:05. > :32:26.over Roger Federer. Wimbledon last year, the US Open this year as well.

:32:27. > :32:36.In 2010 and 2011 as we look at it Terry Henry, Djokovic beat Federer

:32:37. > :32:43.in the US semifinal. They have had some crackers over the time. -- Jury

:32:44. > :33:48.Henri. A nice quick game. Some sort of

:33:49. > :33:52.momentum possible for Roger Federer, a break down to Djokovic in this

:33:53. > :33:56.final. This is the last regular ATP Tour match of what has been another

:33:57. > :34:04.great season of tennis. It is not the finish tennis wise, the Davis

:34:05. > :34:07.Cup takes place Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 30 miles or so from the

:34:08. > :34:12.centre of Brussels. The British Davis Cup team having let on to

:34:13. > :34:17.postpone their travel arrangements for the moment and they are

:34:18. > :34:20.monitoring the security situation. That is a situation still

:34:21. > :34:27.developing. The Belgian government not able to assure people they

:34:28. > :34:31.should gather in large numbers for big, important events. Who knows

:34:32. > :34:34.whether or not the ITF and the Lawn Tennis Association and government

:34:35. > :34:42.bodies will say, go ahead with the Davis Cup final, it remains to be

:34:43. > :34:46.seen. But it is a great deflation for everybody so looking forward to

:34:47. > :34:52.that and we will see what happens. It is certainly unsettling the team.

:34:53. > :34:56.They would like to get out there and practice on the court, in the

:34:57. > :35:01.stadium. And fingers asked it is going to go ahead, it would be a

:35:02. > :35:05.great shame with the build-up throughout the year of what they

:35:06. > :35:10.have achieved, getting through to the final -- crossed. If it were not

:35:11. > :35:16.to be played, no idea when it would be played. No, this is an important

:35:17. > :35:21.period for the players at the end of a long year. Some rest and

:35:22. > :35:25.recuperation. But it is Christmas time and this is a month off. But we

:35:26. > :35:30.will continue to monitor that. We are supposed to do that and who

:35:31. > :35:33.knows, we might still Friday, Saturday and Sunday hopefully

:35:34. > :36:12.against Belgium. The second serve of Djokovic is

:36:13. > :36:20.slow. They're directed a good job of taking it early so the ball did not

:36:21. > :36:35.get too high on him. -- Federer did a good job.

:36:36. > :37:14.Holding the finish like a golf shot. Not sure what that is all about.

:37:15. > :37:24.Given the scoreline, Federer was comfortable to stay in the rally. It

:37:25. > :37:26.almost felt like he was saying, am not going to make an error.

:37:27. > :39:31.Unfortunately for him, he did. Federer got away with that, the

:39:32. > :39:50.volley was not great. It was not the best for the Federer

:39:51. > :39:56.but he was asking the question at the right time. Coming to the net at

:39:57. > :39:58.deuce and putting the pressure on his opponent and it gives him

:39:59. > :41:17.another break point opportunity. Have we seen a Federer drop shot

:41:18. > :41:22.yet? Has there been an opportunity to go forwards with the slice? These

:41:23. > :41:27.are patterns of play sitting Djokovic rather more. I like Federer

:41:28. > :41:33.using the slice and changing the pace a little bit. The longer these

:41:34. > :41:44.rallies continue, the more I feel it favours Djokovic.

:41:45. > :41:58.Federer had a break point but holds. -- but Djokovic chuckled. Djokovic,

:41:59. > :42:04.remember, had to save a break point in a previous game. So this last

:42:05. > :42:09.game with the slightly fluffy tennis bulls, you might have a real good

:42:10. > :42:24.look at this. The best atmosphere of the week -- balls.

:42:25. > :42:59.No problems. Half-volley, whipped forehand down the line.

:43:00. > :43:27.Forcing the issue, taking the ball on and looking to move forward.

:43:28. > :43:38.Not the shot, it is it? So desperate to get ahead in the rally. But the

:43:39. > :43:59.defence from Djokovic chip is remarkable. -- Djokovic.

:44:00. > :44:06.The shot direction, that statistic and graphic about Djokovic going

:44:07. > :44:09.down the line, he knows if he hits his backhand down the line, he is

:44:10. > :44:13.going into the strength of Federer. He is really looking to work over

:44:14. > :44:34.Federer's backhand. Looking for the influence of Stefan

:44:35. > :44:36.Edberg on his name and the changes because of that. His volleys have

:44:37. > :45:00.improved this year immeasurably. Novak Djokovic, number 1 every week

:45:01. > :45:07.of the year in 2015. Amazing. The last man to do that was Roger

:45:08. > :45:11.Federer in 2007. So records on both sides of the net. And for the

:45:12. > :45:17.record, it Federer wins the title tonight, he will get 1,500 ranking

:45:18. > :45:23.points, just under ?1.5 million. If Djokovic Wednesday night, he picks

:45:24. > :45:31.up 1300 points because he was to one group match and about ?1.4 million.

:45:32. > :45:34.-- he lost one group match. That is the last thing they will be thinking

:45:35. > :45:43.about at this point, they just want to beat each other. You don't think

:45:44. > :45:49.about points or money playing in a match like this, do you? Definitely

:45:50. > :45:53.not. When we look at the statistics, it emphasises how tight it is.

:45:54. > :45:58.Although Djokovic has the break of serve, 24 points, Federer winning

:45:59. > :46:03.five out of seven points at the net, that is something he will think

:46:04. > :46:04.about, how he can impose his game and be the 1 dictating the baseline

:46:05. > :46:23.rallies. A full house on a Sunday night on

:46:24. > :46:28.the North Greenwich Peninsula. The tournament is staying here, the

:46:29. > :46:32.season-ending championships, until 2018 and possibly beyond. Just over

:46:33. > :46:34.half an hour played here and it is a break to the number one, serving

:46:35. > :48:39.with new tennis balls, at 4-3. Dragging it wider. It is a slightly

:48:40. > :48:48.of pace ball from Federer, that is a big mistake. That is far from

:48:49. > :49:03.perfection today so far for Djokovic, although he has a break.

:49:04. > :49:09.Certainly talking about hitting the right shots at the right times.

:49:10. > :49:36.30-30 in the last game and he came up with an ace.

:49:37. > :49:58.Retaining his composure nicely after missing that forehand to go back to

:49:59. > :50:00.30-30. An ace out wide, backhand down the line. Like a machine at

:50:01. > :51:47.times, Djokovic. He seems to be running out of ideas

:51:48. > :51:50.quite early, doesn't he? Federer trying to get into the net but that

:51:51. > :53:07.was not the ball. And that is why! Djokovic takes the

:53:08. > :53:10.first set 6-3, it is more of what we saw in the semifinal against Rafael

:53:11. > :53:14.Nadal. He is the World Number 1 and he is proving get and I wonder if

:53:15. > :53:17.Federer has anything left in the tank for this final. He will

:53:18. > :53:24.certainly throw everything at Djokovic. First set, 6-3.

:53:25. > :53:28.Boris Becker giving his nod of approval, a wonderful first set from

:53:29. > :53:32.Novak Djokovic. He lost to Federer early in the week we knew he would

:53:33. > :53:36.come out as a different player and he is at his very best at the

:53:37. > :53:41.moment. It for defence from the back of the court and he is able to

:53:42. > :53:47.Turkey into a fence so quickly. So it is all Djokovic at the O2 at the

:53:48. > :53:51.moment. -- offence. We asked you to get in touch about who might win the

:53:52. > :53:56.grand slam next year. Pete Riley thinks Rafael Nadal will get his

:53:57. > :54:00.10th French and Djokovic will play in the other three. Colin Thomson,

:54:01. > :54:05.Andy Murray will win two, the Australian at Wimbledon and Djokovic

:54:06. > :54:09.the French and the US, so that will be a career Grand Slam because the

:54:10. > :54:14.French is the only one he has not won. A prediction here, Djokovic the

:54:15. > :54:20.Australian, the French, Djokovic. And Wimbledon for Federer and Andy

:54:21. > :54:23.Murray can win the US Open. And Charlie says, I honestly believe

:54:24. > :54:29.Djokovic can win all four Grand Slam is next year and with a good rest,

:54:30. > :54:34.he will bring good form in 2016. And from what we have seen, we would

:54:35. > :54:40.agree. Andrew and Tim, watching this match, I am isolated. Watching the

:54:41. > :54:45.footwork Djokovic and his movement and how that has improved so much,

:54:46. > :54:49.he's such a great athlete and he has lost that weight but his movement

:54:50. > :54:52.and his quickness, it is almost impossible to get the ball away from

:54:53. > :54:55.him. It does appear that way. And

:54:56. > :55:00.certainly, Roger Federer comic you can see his game plan, he is serving

:55:01. > :55:05.out wide with the kick on the left court. Just manoeuvring Djokovic.

:55:06. > :55:10.But he's making mistakes at the moment, Tim. That is right. The

:55:11. > :55:14.serving for Federer is the platform for his game. If he serves well, you

:55:15. > :55:20.holds serve Mark Constable it and that puts pressure on the opponent.

:55:21. > :55:28.-- more comfortably. And it frees you from the baseline. Federer down

:55:29. > :55:31.at 57% of first serves. He only wins 65% and that shows Djokovic has the

:55:32. > :55:37.domination from the back of the court. So this man who was in all

:55:38. > :55:42.four Grand Slam finals this year, 50 finals in total. He has been the

:55:43. > :55:58.dominant force and he has a set lead here in this final. Number two.

:55:59. > :56:01.He had Federer filed with the slice down the line, after Federer missing

:56:02. > :56:44.of course. -- ruled. He has got two sets to play. In his

:56:45. > :56:49.tennis year. He hopes! Yes, he will be thinking that. Still in this, got

:56:50. > :56:51.to do my thing. It is all or nothing for the next 90 minutes. We will go

:56:52. > :57:20.over to BBC Three soon. It is the right shot, it is the

:57:21. > :58:54.right idea, just not the right execution.

:58:55. > :59:05.That is a committed second serve. And he is 1-0 up. Roger Federer,

:59:06. > :59:08.according to Tim Henman, has to lay the foundation of this comeback with

:59:09. > :59:15.the serve direction and the consistency and the focus. The shot

:59:16. > :59:21.placement Federer in set one going to the backhand of Djokovic most of

:59:22. > :59:26.the time, marginally. He perhaps need small length. It does not

:59:27. > :59:32.matter whether it had sliced on it or not. Djokovic aiming at the

:59:33. > :59:36.Federer backhand, just like Rafael Nadal used to do. Important service

:59:37. > :00:25.game for Federer here. Sue Barker: we are coming to the end

:00:26. > :00:29.of the transmission here on BBC Two and the tennis moves to BBC Three so
