Men's Final Wimbledon

SUE BARKER: What a match this could be. Djokovic is aiming for his

seventh Grand Slam and yesterday, the 2011 champion won her second

title. Roger Federer is going for his eighth Wimbledon, his 18th Grand

Slam. Is that destiny. We will find out. We have moved around, Jimmy is

joined by Tim. You want to add to the 8s? You forgot to mention

Federer was born on the 8th day of the 8th month, so another 8! The

management team he is part of is Team 8! It must be his lucky number

then? I missed the memo for the Royal blue suit today! You are

close. Mac at least had the tie on! I thought my tie was alright! It is

OK. This, Jimmy, is where - you have talked about wanting to get out here

on court. These must be agonising moments because it is that long

wait. You want to get out there? You do. There comes a point where you

say, "Let's get on with it already!" We have been talking about

the build-up for the last couple of days and they are in the locker

room. I am sure they are listening. If you are not, you should be! They

want to go out now. Enough of the practise, enough of everything

that's happened in the past, let's see who is the best. Absolutely. It

is so tough to pick a winner. We were talking about Djokovic, he

needs to raise the level of his game and he will? Most definitely. That

is the fascinating aspect. We have a two-horse race. There is so much

analysis into so many different areas. I was looking at first serve

points won for Federer is at 83%, Djokovic is at 77%. The points won

behind second serve - Federer is ahead. All these things are aspects

for us to talk about. Now is for the players to get out there and push

the stats aside and see who can win three sets this afternoon. What a

wonderful time it must be for Mr Federer, Roger's dad. Watching his

son play, it must be such an easy - he doesn't put him through many

nerves? They do say sometimes it is much worse watching than it is

playing. They are not in control of the outcome of the match. Certainly,

with their history of watching their son perform so well, they will be

keen for this to be Grand Slam title 18. You can put a great case for

both of them. Djokovic hasn't played his best, but he is through to the

final. That is a good sign. It is whether he can raise his levels and

produce the performance of the tournament for himself to take down

Federer. Another thing, Sue, Mr Federer is up there. It's never

enough. He is still working, he is still doing his job and I know Mr

Federer is up there, he can say he's had a great career, but for Roger

that is not true. He is still out here, he wants to set records and

when his name is mentioned, he wants his name to be the only one up

there. Never enough for him. We will see. Well, we will be closing the

vote. We did ask who would win this final. We will tell you in a moment.

It is getting close to the time that this final gets under way. The

players will be emerging very soon for that walk to Centre Court and it

is a walk the great champions know so well. The calmness around, but

once they say OK, time, let's play, things change. Making that walk

sometimes, you are about to lose your lunch. I was unbelievably

nervous. Ice-cold hands. You do go through some emotions and how well

will I do and what is going to happen. The butterflies in your

stomach, you have to face what is to come, the walk on to the Centre

Court, the history behind that, the 15,000 people waiting for you to

come and perform. They can pick you up and they tell you it is about

time to walk on Centre Court, that is when it starts to sink in. The

emotions and the expectations and excitement. You follow the player,

or the other player follows you. There is a build-up and a sense of

pride and sense of accomplishment that you have got to this point. The

only thing that catch my eye was the quote from Kipling, to meet triumph

and disaster. You turn left and see the winner's board. Hoping that you

might win and you put your name on that board. I am here to do a job.

One more step. If I don't make this step, I will regret it. The Angie --

the energy from the crowd was something else. The walk from the

locker room was something very special. The anticipation of what

you are expected to do gets you revved up and ready to go.

SUE BARKER: There is such a buzz around the place, even the linesmen

and women got a huge roar coming out on to court. Everybody wants to be

here to watch what could be one of THE classic matches. They will be

making their way to Centre Court in just a moment. Jimmy, you feel it,

don't you. Everyone is in their seats and they will give them such a

great reception. Chills, right? The expectation is unbelievable. Where

is this, Tim? Roger is not coming the usual route? He is coming from

the gym. The locker room is just behind to the left, so... The last

thing you want to do is be face to face. That's right. It is one of the

interesting aspects in tennis. You are in the locker room with your

opponent before the match. It is something you get used to. And now

they can start making their way out on to Centre Court. It's a long

walk, Jimmy. It is now. Back in the day, Sue, we came around the corner

and two steps up and we were on the Centre Court. Now, they walk around,

they have time to do a little extra thinking. They are going by a lot of

interesting pictures. They are starting to get zeroed in on what

they are going to try to do from the very beginning, what they are going

to do in the warm-up, how they are going to play the first couple of

games. Lots going through their minds now and it is a matter of

coming out and executing. It is more of a mental game now, getting the

focus right to be in the right frame of mind to walk on court? Most

definitely. They will be trying to focus on the process. They are not

going to be thinking too much about the outcome. Federer will be

thinking about hitting the spots on his first serve, looking to dominate

with the forehand. Djokovic is going to be thinking how he can try and

peg Federer back into the backhand court, keep him behind the baseline

to try and nullify those attacking skills. They can't become numb with

technical thoughts. They have to go out and react and do what they know

how to do best. If you get a bit too technical, you become frozen and

your feet don't move, you are out of position and things can happen in a

hurry. If you are not prepared on grass, games can slip by very

quickly and you can be down a set before you know it. They want to

both start out right away, try to get their games in order and get dug

into it. These guys are so used to the big occasion. They will have

Plan A, but they will have Plan B and C if things aren't going right.

Here they come. Get ready for the roar.

In keeping with tradition, Tim, the bags being carried by Stuart from

the locker room. That's right. It's been a tradition - Jimmy and John

were talking about Leo a long time ago. It looked like the bags were

sometimes bigger than him. It is a great honour for Stuart. Doug Dixon

did it for many years before. It is a small tradition that doesn't go

unnoticed. So they sit and wait and we wait for the coin toss. Each

year, they have a special guest to do the coin toss. This is

12-year-old Nathan Bullimore. He is representing Action For Children

Scotland, a charity that supports the most vulnerable children and

young people in Scotland. It is a charity that has been nominated by

Andy Murray, the now reigning Wimbledon Champion. That is another

nice tradition and a big, big day for young Nathan. Roger Federer - it

looks like he is out there for a practise game. It is such a big

match. He gives off the impression that he's very relaxed. He will be

nervous. That is a good sign. It means so much to him. He has given

himself the opportunity of another Slam final. I saw Nathan before and

it was his first time at Wimbledon. UMPIRE: Heads, tails? Roger calls

heads. It's a tail. Serve? OK. The coin toss over and there's the

result of the vote. We thought it would be close. 63% of you think

that Roger Federer will win, just 37% for Djokovic. That is

interesting. They are going with the older man and the experience. I

would think it would be a little bit closer than that. I am looking for a

hard-fought five-setter. Both these guys will lift their game so it will

be a little tweak there in the fifth set that will win it. Time to get

down to business. Roger is ready for five sets. I was talking to him

earlier in the week and he said last week, he wasn't on top form. Now, he

is 100% and he is ready for five sets. Absolutely. When you reflect

on his performance last year, because his back had been giving him

trouble, he wasn't able to practise the way he wanted to and he didn't

play the way we have become accustomed to. This year, and

certainly with his preparation in December, he was able to do the hard

yards and now he's been playing fantastic tennis. Another aspect is

his racket. He's changed racket in the last 12 months. It has a bigger

head. He has flattened out his backhand a little bit more. I don't

know whether that is the Edberg effect. The time he spent on court

for the six matches is about five hours less than Djokovic, so he will

have a full tank of energy. He certainly is. We were talking about

the effect of Stefan Edberg. Just showing a graph of how many times

Roger Federer comes to the net. He did a lot when he first came here at

Wimbledon. There we go, back in 2003. Then he wasn't coming in quite

so much. Look at the rise from 2011, shooting up here into 2014. I think

it is more than just serving and volleying. No, just coming forward.

And knowing when to come forward, catching your opponent a little

late, not afraid to sneak in. The surprise tactic is going to be

something there that you want to watch with Federer against Djokovic

and Djokovic will not be afraid to step in and that backhand passing

shot down. Roger will have to be ready for everything, as both of

them are. He does serve and volley a fair bit? He has done it am some

interesting times against Wawrinka in the tie-breaker. It's something

to watch out for. If he is serving and volleying twice a game, it keeps

Djokovic guessing, it makes him realise he can't just knock the ball

back in play. There are so many intriguing aspects, how well Federer

can keep serving. It is lovely seeing Stefan Edberg and Boris

Becker coming in to take their place. They will be twitchy. They

will remember what all this is about. Novak Djokovic, he is so keen

to get back. That is why he has brought Boris Becker in to give him

that added oomph to get over the finish line in a Grand Slam final?

He liked the way Boris talked about playing big points and that will be

huge. A lot of the players today, I don't know if they play the score

and what it means to be up 30-0 or down 0-30 or how they go about

playing that if you hold it back a little bit, or you go for a bigger

shot. Boris was always very good at that and knew how to play the score

and taking the ability of his game and his attitude to know when to

take chances and when to not. So, with Nova - a lot has happened to

him. His fitness, he has really worked at that. A couple of years

ago, I remember watching him play where he had trouble playing two out

of three sets. Now, he is outlasting Nadal on clay and playing five-hour

matches. That, to me, training and conditioning in tennis is something

that's left out a little bit now. It is more about the game itself and

the strings on the racket. The conditioning is vital. If you can't

last, you won't be able to get in position to hit your shots. Your

game will go down and you are done. You talk about flexibility. No-one

is more flexible than Novak Djokovic. Roger Federer, we look at

his stats. What a career he's had. 32-years-old, he works harder than

he has ever worked? That's right right. He also can look back on his

successive Grand Slam events played. This is the 59th. It is incredible

that he hasn't had an injury or not a loss of form. To have no injuries

to stop that streak is incredible. You look at the way he moves, his

technique, I don't think there is anyone who plays the game more

effortlessly and that is one of the reasons why I believe he can keep

playing for another five years. Over the years, people have written him

off. We have all said we wonder whether he should carry on playing

and he's proved everybody wrong. The older you get, the more you want to

prove them wrong. You want to work that little bit extra and tweak your

game a little bit to throw a surprise in so your longevity is

what you are judged on, not only your Grand Slam events but longevity

also. Roger has been around for 15 years. I don't see that being for

him. He has way too much to still. Everything that he brings, you know

and on the other side Novak doesn't want him around anymore. I love

those mind games, too. I love the whole scenario what today brings. It

is the mind games. Novak Djokovic was so dominant a few years ago. All

of a sudden, you know it needs one match that could turn it all back in

his favour again. There is no doubt. When you go back to having someone

like Boris in his corner, he has been there, seen it and won the

biggest titles. After losing in those Grand Slam finals, as was the

case with Ivan Lendl and Andy Murray have the reassurance of someone

there say, "You are doing the right things, keep going." We better make

a move. Is in the commentary box. ANDREW CASTLE: Good afternoon to you

and a good afternoon to everybody enjoying this Wimbledon final. The

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in attendance, of course. The first

Grand Slam final without Nadal or Murray for four-and-a-half years.

History beckons for both. Stefan Edberg working with Roger

Federer this year, warmed him up this morning and was really tight.

Just 20 minutes. TIM HENMAN: I think by the crowd's

reaction, it is obvious who the crowd favourite is.

It's only their second meeting in the final of a major championship.

The first was the 2007 US Open, Federer won that. This is their 35th

meeting. It is a great rivalry. JIMMY CONNORS: They should know each

other's game by now. Not only on major stages, but in many

tournaments around the world. Looking forward to see who comes up

with something special. Roger is smart to take this out of

the air. He didn't do quite enough with it. A little short in the

court. Djokovic with a winning forehand.

Calm on the outside, Federer. The heart will be racing. He had to put

a few sprinting metres in there. You sometimes think it might take a

few games to find your rhythm and timing, but these two have hit the

ground running. Not going to keep repeating stats.

He's won 88 this championship, Federer. That is the one-two punch

again. Novak Djokovic, most people's

favourite, in terms of the professionals who deal in these

things, the public saying they expect Federer to win - 63% of them

in our vote. It tells you something about

Djokovic's achievements in the game. Federer has won this seven times.

The only final he lost here was probably the best match ever played

in 2008. That is how well you have to beat Federer on Centre Court.

UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging the call on the right centre service

line. The ball was called out. UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic has two

challenges remaining. JIMMY CONNORS: How would you have

handled that? Would you use your challenges early up or would you

save them? It is a feel thing. You have to make sure you have a few

challenges left for the business end of the set.

Roger Federer doesn't trail in the record books at Wimbledon on too

many counts, but he has not won as many matches as Jimmy Connors here.

He's only won 73, Jimmy. You got 84. I played a few years longer than he

has! The way he is playing, he should stay around another couple of

years and bypass that record. It is a rare thing indeed. Over

30-years-of age. That is why he is coming into the net more, Tim?

Sometimes, he wants to try and shorten those points. He is the most

offensive player in the tournament, probably in the game. There was

another man that liked to get to the net pretty often Rod Laver. When he

won in '61 he got a ?15 voucher and a firm handshake! The Duke and

Duchess is there. The wife of the chairman is there.

What a shot! That is no easy task. A good serve and volley. Good lob.

Look at the athleticism. That is one tough shot.

To finish my point, hitting the ground strokes deep and allowing

Novak to be a little late and catching the ball a little higher

above the net for a volley. Edberg was great at that.

The top-spin bounced up into the hitting zone of Djokovic's forehand.

Able to flatten it out and hit an upright winner. -- outright winner.

Talking with Novak Djokovic yesterday, the 2011 - 2012, he was

unbelievable. Whenever he was in a final, he started as favourite.

Finished both of those years number one in the world. He has lost the

last three Grand Slam finals that he has been in. It is some pressure on

Djokovic's shoulders. I think so. Again, that is where the mental

aspect is going to be so important. He will be aware of that. When he

gets out on the court, he has got to forget that and continue to play the

way he has started because he is striking the ball fantastically

well. No unforced errors. Aggressive, looking to dominate. It

will be interesting to see who can get the first opportunities. Here is

there in the final. Even though he has lost the last three, he has

given himself chances to win. He knows his game is good enough to get

him there. To get over the hump to win, what does he have to do? With

Becker in his corner, that is one of the reasons he has come in, to give

him the little extra something. Always changes here. That is the

champion's Gate in front of Becker. No longer the undignified clamber.

Do not become predictable. I was about to say, he is serving and

volleying, it is OK to mix it up, but it is not his comfort zone, I

don't think, as of yet. One significant difference. In the

semifinals, the court was much dustier. That is one of the reasons

why Djokovic and Dimitrov were sliding into so many shots. That

semifinal was very windy. Will that hamper Novak's movement more? I

don't think he will be able to slide quite as much.

The sharp reply of the Federer backhand, moved his feet, took his

time, did not rush. No panic. UMPIRE: New balls, please. Novak

Djokovic is 9-9 when he gets his first serve in. He is nailing his

own service games. The opening stages on Centre Court, the final of

the Men's Singles championship 2014. The hill is absolutely covered. I

hope it is comfortable. Quite a warm day. Stay nice and warm and do not

lean back, whatever day. Stay nice and warm and do not

lean you do! I final of intensity building. No break points as yet.

Five former champions in the draw, Lleyton Hewitt lost in the second

round. Nadal lost in the fourth round to the young Australian

player, Nick Kyrgios. Andy Murray lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the

quarterfinals who was then beaten by Novak Djokovic. Just two players

left. They happen to be two of the five champions that entered the draw

in the first place. It is a great stage, Centre Court. We have great

acting talent with us! John hurt, Bradley Cooper, Samuel L Jackson, so

many others up in the royal box and around.

His fastest serve of the tournament, 127mph. That was 120. It

is where he is placing it. That is what counts today.

That is some backhand reply. Defence. Federer, the shot was a

little bit short and bounces into his hitting zone. Steps into it and

stays low. That is Henman style tennis. Serve

and volley. I wish! APPLAUSE

The first glimmer of an opportunity with Djokovic on juice Gets Federer

back on level terms. -- on juice. The crowd do not know what to make

of tennis of this standard. A little cat and mouse tennis. You

do not see slices like that down at your local club. They are used to

the power tennis. Tense! I think that was because of

Roger Federer moving his feet and trying to get ready for the next

chart. Novak took his eye off the ball watching Roger and the ball was

long. Glimmer of hope for Federer. That was an absolute illustration of

why... We have just seen the illustration of why Djokovic has the

record he has. 15-30 down, missed a terrible forehand. He comes back

with big serving and does not blink. Credit to him. This was the slice

exchange that they had on Djokovic's serve. That point was no

laughing matter for both players. A big year for both of these

players. Twins, two-month-old, newborns. The Federer twins. Two

sets of twins in that family. Three sets. Roger's sister also has

twins. Robbie Federer was saying, when they are helping with the

twins, they leave the tournament and go away to have a break and their

daughter turns up with a pair of twins.

Sometimes working hard at your tennis does not look so bad, right?

Smart play from Djokovic. He hit the good return and followed it in

behind and was able to wrong-foot Federer.

That was a deep slice with pace. Djokovic could not handle it.

Novak was picking on the Federer backhand. Great movement around the

court by Roger. Draws the error from Djokovic.

You have got to drive volley like that. It is difficult to play it

safely. You have got to commit to the shot and accelerate with the

racket head. Federer tried to push it a little bit.

Spectacular court coverage by both players. Federer gets a short ball,

moves in close, calmly hit the volley into the open court.

Djokovic's adopters have got to be screaming at him after that. It was

a real test for Federer and he came through it. Can he do this against

Djokovic from the back of the court over five sets Western -- over five

sets? First lingering look from Djokovic

up to his supporters after that error on the forehand side.

Down the line! What control! The ball seemed to be too far away from

him. I thought James Keothavong was on his game, but the Novak Djokovic

serve was on the outside edge of the line. If he goes on to lose serve

here it is a big call. Rightly, Djokovic wins the game. To

be fair, that is what the Hawk-Eye system is for, just to back up the

umpire. James Keothavong is in his 50th Grand Slam. First Wimbledon

final. A great honour. Well-deserved. Everyone makes

mistakes. It is a very high standard first set. Certainly is. In all

aspects of both play as' games, serving has been accurate and fast.

Very few unforced errors. Both players striking the ball cleanly

and moving well. Who do you think will win, Jimmy? If Federer can hold

up to the pressure, Roger has got a great chance to win. I think that

will be detailed. Right now, such a high-quality, both players playing

well. I am going to go with Djokovic in five. It is going to be

interesting who can maintain this level. Is there going to be a little

dip in form from one of them towards the end of a set? Miss a few first

serves. Serving to stay in the first set again, Roger Federer.

Just to follow up on my pick, I have not picked a winner in a long time,

don't go with me if you are betting on this match!

He did not think that was going over. He gives it a little extra

lift with his body! UMPIRE: Game, Federer. 6-6 first

set, tie-break. Both players receive one additional challenge.

Federer did a good job of making Djokovic play the volley. Djokovic

not so comfortable in the forecourt. Pretty clear where Djokovic is

centring his attack on Federer's game, peppering the backhand.

Eight in a row to the same spot is a few too many. He should have mixed

it up a little bit. Roger got in his comfort zone there.

Federer changed rackets last summer after his early loss at Wimbledon,

not the make of racket, but the size of the head. One of the areas that

he wanted to improve was the sliced backhand, the control on the

backhand side and it looks in great shape at the moment. Still a long

way to go to win this first set. Agent, mum, wife.

Their man has a 4-2 lead, three points from the set.

Not that time. I liked your point earlier, Tim, when you said if they

can keep up this level of play, this is such high quality, it is just the

first set. Under the greatest pressure, two

backhand errors in a row. That's a great point. Djokovic

chasing after that drop shot there, he almost made it, panting hard.

That's a fabulous return. Exactly. It looked like an error from

Federer, in some ways it was. Roger has been going wide in the deuce

court quite often so Novak was hedging that way. Still he had to

make it and force the error. Becker and Edberg, they are playing

every single point with their men. They know what the pressure is like

down on the court playing against each other in a big Wimbledon final.

I wonder what the feeling is like sitting in the stands, the same?

Worse! That was the right idea, chipping

and coming in behind it. Nice idea, poor execution. Yeah.

those two serves, right when he needed it. Pressure is back on

Djokovic. SUE BARKER: What a roar from the

Centre Court crowd. We knew this was going to be special. What a tense

and dramatic end to the tie-break. So little between these two great

champions but Roger has the edge. It is advantage Federer on Centre

Court. This looks to have all the ingredients of a long, hard-fought

duel this afternoon. Federer is one set up but still a long way from the

title. So, Federer and his fans delighted

with that first set tie-break. Tennis is breathtaking, the final is

living up to the billing. Sit back and enjoy.

ANDREW CASTLE: Novak Djokovic will be so disappointed with that. The

next ten or 15 minutes will be interesting.

Federer will know that his opponent is going to be winded at this point,

whether he can do anything about that remains to be seen. These are

the numbers from the first set. Tim Henman, what do you see?

TIM HENMAN: What will be difficult to stomach is that is probably the

most cleanest and consistent set of tennis he's played in the whole

tournament and he's lost it. No break-points for either man. So

little to see between them. Set-point goes begging for Novak

Djokovic. Federer is a set up. Here comes set number two.

JIMMY CONNORS: That is some shot on the run. For a double-hander, to get

his body around there and hit it with such pace, that is incredible.

To me, Djokovic hit the fantastic return there to get Federer on the

defensive and then he never really pulled the trigger on any of the

other ground strokes. Down and that was pretty heavy. He's

been over a few times. Looks OK. He has his physio, trainer and

coach. He tries to push off. Stepping into that, got inside the

court. Caught the ball at the top of the bounce and was able to hit the

ball flat up the line. A 96th service game of the

Championships for Roger Federer and he's only lost one serve. Amazing

stuff. Two break-points saved there, tremendous reaction from Djokovic

losing the first set, took a heavy tumble, got up and hit another clean

winner. Djokovic had a couple of set-points to win the first set and

a couple of break-points to go a break up in the second. Federer was

equal to the task. After the fall, Djokovic is going to see what

happens here. A big game for him. Novak Djokovic has called for the

trainer there. The chair umpire will call through. There is a direct line

into the training room in the Centre Court locker room. A dedicated line.

It appears that the American physio is on the court. So a medical

timeout at the next change of ends. Djokovic is exerting this classic

pressure that he brings. He picked up the pace on those returns. Wasn't

satisfied with getting the ball in play, he did something special with

it. There doesn't seem to be anything

wrong with his left knee, but that will be what is treated in the next

minute. While the physio is on, he might

want to have a look at that poor lineslady who has been hit twice in

the last four points. Many aspects testing Djokovic's

resolve - the loss of the first set, the loss of the break-point

opportunities, sore knee. That double fault was a result of

the pressure Djokovic is putting on. He caught this one late. You don't

want to hit ball kids! You got disqualified, didn't you, your first

Wimbledon? What a pass! First break of the

match. And the physio comes on court to treat somebody that has just hit

the cleanest backhand pass of all time to break serve. Just a

precautionary thing. They are under a bit of pressure, they have to come

out and make a diagnosis with the cameras of the world upon them and

after that, they will have a medical timeout of three minutes if the

player and the physio so choose. Left ankle. He pushed off with the

left, didn't he, Left ankle. He pushed off with the

left, didn't and it went. It was bang, straight down, so a bruising?

These courts may be called grass courts, but they are like concrete

at the back of the court. The earth is incredibly hard. When you fall on

it, if you land on a bony part of the body, it will be pretty painful.

It is not the grass that you find in your back garden. No. It looked like

he was messing with his ankle a little bit. Ankle or knee? Ankle.

Mum and daughter keeping an eye on Roger on the court! It is quite an

event this Wimbledon final. This Centre Court is the most amazing

atmosphere, to hear it building over the course of the morning. It's got

the loudest silence of any sporting venue. Really wonderful.

Credit where credit is due, Djokovic will feel disappointed to have lost

the first set, but he's got the first break of the match. He will be

keen to hold on to his serve now. And with that, the court dries out

and it becomes more slippery on the top surface, so it could be a

factor. We are down almost on court level

and it is fun to see the shape of the ball with all the top-spin as it

is coming over the net and it flattens out.

Send supplies, we could be here a while!

From 30-love to deuce. Just broke serve, it would be devastating for

him to lose this game now. You would think that turning this

into an attritional contest would play to Djokovic's hands, given

fitness, the way they play, H. -- age.

I think Roger would like to have that one back again, instead of the

drop volley hit it with a little more pace.

Long game, tough game, trying to back up the break of serve achieved.

Djokovic may be struggling to get through this service game but he is

controlling it. He has just -- it has got a Djokovic feel about it,

this last ten minutes or so. Hasn't he done well.

And a hold is his. 24 minutes for four games, it is quite a lot.

Federer made him work for that game. I think that sent a message to Novak

that you had better take your advantage when you can get it.

The game has changed a bit, hasn't it? The athleticism of these two

players. The ball boy would have had to be

quick. Maintaining his composure. Ouch! Could have been a temple shot.

Tim Henman, tell me about the time you were disqualified from

Wimbledon. Magnificent! Thank you for bringing that up. What happened?

Just a glancing blow, that was an accident too? Yes, I was playing

with my partner, Jeremy Bates, and he was trying to celebrate the 20th

anniversary of it! We were in a four set tie-break, very close to winning

the match, and I sort of ball away in a little bit of frustration, but

not anger. You were livid! No, but unfortunately for me the ball girl

was the other side of the net, and she unfortunately popped her head up

and I hit her on the ear. Then ten minutes later Alan Mills was on the

court and I got a red card. That is a bad attitude, Tim! You can talk!

That is one thing I have got an John McEnroe, he never got disqualified

from the court. Looks like Fabregas, do you know who

that is, Jimmy? Just signed for Chelsea.

it was a comfortable going for Djokovic. -- comfortable game.

It it fascinating to watch Roger Federer just keep time at bay, he

has four children now, 32 years of age. He has played so many finals.

Against Rafael Nadal in 2008, that is the only time he has ever lost in

the final. The rallies you would think would go to Djokovic, those

statistics have evened up a little bit, but areas like this, how much

are you aware of things like this? I don't know if they will be totally

aware of that but it was an interesting statistic that Federer

was winning seven out of ten of those shots and in the second set,

that is where Djokovic has started to have a bit more of an impact.

Glamorous occasion here, and no need for the roof. What do you make of

the final at Wimbledon, Jimmy? There is nothing like it. You pass out

onto the court, the walk out is tremendous, but the crowd, what they

expect, the history behind what they have seen here and the great players

on that court, they expect a high level and what we are seeing now is

tennis at its best. It just seems to come off his

forehand just a little bit, instead of staying with it, hitting through

the ball. That was not criticism, it was an

explanation. You don't get to where he is by making too many mistakes.

Some former players up there in the competitors' area.

You see Djokovic slipping in the same area where he had the fall.

That is where it gets dusty as the match goes on.

It is these long rallies again, over time, over five sets... It is not

going to suit Federer, surely. But what can he do about it? Try to keep

it short, you get picked off the net.

To answer your question, what he has to do about it is what he did in the

first set, he wasn't afraid to chip and come behind it and maybe catch

You can see Roger Federer's wife up here, she has had twins just two

months ago. She must have a big entourage. Let's not forget the nine

staff and two cooks! We have got the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge here.

Baby George at home somewhere, presumably not alone. But they are

big tennis fans. They come on a regular basis. Pretty good, and the

Duchess is an honorary member here. Academy Awards nominees up there. It

is a good job we haven't caught him doing something he shouldn't! Was he

your toughest opponent, Jimmy? In one way he was, he was serve and

volley, Bjorn Borg was a different kind of opponent who never let me

know what he was thinking so that made it kind of tough on me. OK, big

moments in the final Wimbledon, 2014.

You can hear by Federer 's reaction, he is keen to try to get back on

level terms. Federer would love a look at a

second serve here. Once again, I think the Federer

movement made Novak take his eye off the ball.

Federer's first break point of the match and Djokovic's ball stopped

with Federer, he just couldn't get a clean strike.

That is a brilliant response to losing the first set. Magnificent,

from break point down Djokovic holds. He might leave the court for

a break here, but he will be so pleased with that. One hour and 34

minutes played, great composure. SUE BARKER: Djokovic will be

pleased, the Centre Court crowd will be pleased, building up this match,

two great champions head-to-head and it is back on even terms. One loose

game is all it takes at this level, and Djokovic has pounced on that

opportunity. So Novak Djokovic level and coach Becker will be delighted.

The tactics working in the second set, and Roger and Novak had much to

ponder. Who will get this title? The champion of 2014, with Roger looking

for an eighth title. Novak Djokovic each playing for the

Wimbledon title, but also playing for the world number one ranking.

Grigor Dimitrov will rise to number nine in the world after the

semifinal, and what a contribution he has made to this grass court

season. Andy Murray will have his lowest ranking for a few years at

number ten. He really couldn't play his best against Grigor Dimitrov.

Well done to the women's doubles, they complete a career Grand Slam.

It was the Canadian American team who won the Men's Doubles, a

tremendous match if you were watching. And well done to Petra

Kvitova, a second Wimbledon championship for her, defeating

Eugenie Bouchard, who is probably feeling awful today. It must be

tough to take a hammering in these situations but this is certainly not

one-sided. What do we think from here? Roger Federer is looking to be

number one again, and that is what he is doing out here, playing in

this great stadium. Djokovic to win that set, tremendous effort. I

thought he was a little bit down at the beginning, comes right back in

the second set and takes charge and control. We have gone from a

marathon to nearly a sprint, so no let down from either player. They

will have to continue this high level of play and whoever gets on

top will feel the comfort of it. Jack Nicklaus, a regular visitor to

the club. Major champion. Almost a lull in proceedings here as

we settle into the third set. Play is supposed to be continuous after

the first game. What a crucial set this is. And a couple of comfort

breaks. Both boys left the court. Back in action here.

I wonder if the crowd here knows exactly what they are seeing, you

know what the level of play that both players are able to produce.

That approach by Federer was tremendous. He's moving forward and

now look at this, he takes it and flicks the ball cross-court. The

angle on that was incredible. When you dip that shoulder, you think he

is going to hit the top-spin lob. Federer was a little bit back from

the net. Both players are capable of keeping

the ball at such good length. Every shot landing three feet from the

baseline in that rally. Is that Hugh Jackman? He loves it.

Looks a little different according to the role. Certainly does.

Did you have any idea who was watching you, Jimmy? Do these people

know what they are watching, you posed. Did you know what was going

on? I did. I looked around a little bit. Once the ball was in play, of

course, I looked around and... You played any golf with Samuel? I

haven't. I hear he is darn good. I played with him in Scotland a couple

of years ago. He is a good golfer and he's seriously cool. That is the

great Roy Emerson behind Samuel L Jackson. Let's do some celeb

spotting. We better mention Phil Brook. Chairman front row and

centre. It is not an invitation you turn down lightly, is it? It is one

of the great sports events. First set to Roger Federer on a tie-break,

Djokovic with the early break and backing it up in the second set.

Djokovic serving 1-2 in the third set.

Clever change of tactic from Federer. Played the short slice,

brought Djokovic in and did very well to control the half-volley on

to the outside edge of the line. All the talk was about Federer's

serve coming into this match. It's Djokovic that's done a fantastic job

so far, serving at 65% first serves in, winning 80% behind the first

serve and 60% behind the second serve.

Such a smart play. He saw Djokovic a little bit late, got in behind it,

easy volley into the open court. Just to back up what Tim Henman has

been talking about - anything over 60% is pretty good - 65% and 68% for

the two players. This wasn't the case in the first

set. It was certainly Federer that was on top in those departments and,

as we have seen the match turn around slightly, Djokovic getting

the second set, it really is nip and tuck here for this third set, which

could prove crucial. New boots for Novak Djokovic. They do tend to wear

out the pimples on the soles of these grass court shoes made

especially for this season. Just behind the baselines, it is almost

like a hard-court. They have played an hour and 51

minutes. Any fatigue in the legs? Not yet, I don't think so. Both in

phenomenal shape. Federer having only dropped one set coming into the

final, he looks fresh. Djokovic played a six-hour final in the

Australian Open so, he's probably just warming up still(!)

Federer doing such a good job of soaking up the pressure from

Djokovic and he is always looking to get forward.

UMPIRE: Correction. Replay the point.

Now, the big question here is, did the call in any way shape or form

affect what Novak Djokovic did there? The answer of course is no

because it was a half-volley. The ball was on the baseline. So

shouldn't this be Federer's point? By precedent, you replay the point

because the call was before the contact from Djokovic. Federer will

have to put that out of his mind. That's going to make him feel a

little upset. A big point, 0-15 serving 2-3 for Djokovic and the way

Djokovic played the shot, it was like he was encouraging the out

call. Still shaking his head just a little

bit. How many times on a big point do we

see Djokovic pounding the corners with that first serve? Tremendous

matchplay. Roger is shaking his head again. He

knew how big a point that was. He had a chance to go up 0-30. A

questionable call. Not going to say anymore about that.

I think this is a shot you try when you are 0-40 down.

It's always nice to see new people emerge like Eugenie Bouchard into a

Grand Slam final. You never know how they are going to react. We knew how

these two would react. They knew what to expect and they are

producing. After yesterday's match, the Women's Final went very quickly,

55 minutes, Kvitova played such good tennis that it was incredible. To

come out and to see two champions playing, sometimes you can be

disappointed. It happens in the game of tennis. When you are the kind of

champions that these two players are, they raised their game to a

level to fit the occasion. And certainly the final of Wimbledon is

THE occasion. Nothing left in the locker. Sir Clive knows all about

that, getting the best out of yourself. How do you see it from

here? This set will be crucial. I picked Federer before the match. I'm

going to stick with it. The level of play, is goiting to be a great shot,

an unforced error that will make the difference here? I think the

defining moments of this match could be in the next 15 or 20 minutes.

When the ball goes into the crowd at the US Open, it doesn't necessarily

get thrown back. UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging

the call on the right far side line. The ball was called in.

There haven't been too many challenges today.

UMPIRE: 15-0. Mr Djokovic has two challenges remaining.

We are into the heart of this match. It is not just a Wimbledon final, it

is an occasion. Over the years, it has become tradition to sit up on

the hill and watch on the big-screen to enjoy the final. We are on

Centre, Court 1 will have a roof in 2019 and there's Henman Hill, huge

redevelopment plans at the All England Club. The whole idea is to

keep it as the premier tournament in the world and I don't think there is

any problem with that. It has the most prize money. It's got just

under 500,000 people who come through the gates each year.

There is not a lot of space out there. We can hear you in here!

Novak Djokovic and Marin Cilic, who played on Court 1, could hear the

Centre Court match going on. They wanted the match called off for a

while because it was so noisy. Marion Bartoli knows what it is like

to win. Djokovic serving to stay in the

third set. Nice idea from Federer, trying to

put the pressure on with Djokovic serving to stay in this set. But not

quite enough on the approach shot. That's unbelievable! How fast did

that happen, Jimmy? It was a great approach shot and a great volley by

Federer and he whipped that cross-court. The movement around the

court by both players - unbelievable stuff!

This is why people don't volley these days. When you come in, this

is what you face. It is incredible. You have to tip your hat and say too

good. He came in on a great approach shot. Djokovic was able to find the

angle. You have to do it, Tim, you have to

come in a little bit to mix up the action so the rhythm of the match is

able to spread out a little bit. It didn't pay off there for Federer.

It will be putting a bit of doubt into Djokovic's mind if they get

through to a tie-break and he has to hit second serves. He will be

conscious Federer is trying to take the net away from him.

Casual! That shot is quite tricky, believe it or not.

He is looking back to somebody who may have shouted in the crowd.

UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, as a courtesy to both players, please

remain quiet during the rally. Thank you.

UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging the call, the left centre service

line. The ball was called in. It might be just wide.

UMPIRE: Second service. The military personnel have to get off the court.

That is hard hitting from both players. Contrast the returns -

Federer's chip and come in and Djokovic is tries to hit the ball

hard and firm. The quiet Serbian counterattack from

game point down. Djokovic is cross! It stopped up. He

dragged the ball to his left and wide. Break-point saved.

sensing this. What a return of serve to set up his baseline attack. It is

the second break point. He has his eyes on the prize here.

Federer's 19 ace, they are certainly adding up. And his 20th to save two

break points! You know, there is not many times Roger Federer has walked

out onto this court is a clear underdog. He was for this match, and

to have watched him over the last three or four years trying to adapt

and find a way to keep Nadal back, it illustrates the quality of the

match. It is amazing to see 90 winners and we are not even through

the third set but there have also been only 20 unforced errors from

both players. Most people at 32 with four kids, and X tens of millions in

the bank would have said thanks. But how many get to do this, play tennis

for a living on the Centre Court at Wimbledon, that is what you dream

of. That is why you never gave up. The idea is that you will never do

anything like this ever again, no matter what you get into, business

or whatever. This is the ultimate, and to be able to still do it at 32,

35, whatever, you will do it until you cannot do it any longer and then

it is time to go. Federer just forgetting that it was

a change of balls, getting out of fresh -- a fresh racket.

UMPIRE: Six games all, tie-break. Both players received one additional

challenge. A tournament quick 127 mph for

Federer, he couldn't have placed it any better.

He is the best in the business on the backhand side. And I think Roger

hesitated a little bit on whether he should go in behind that serve.

Didn't quite catch the volley high enough.

Boris Becker was brought into the camp in order to help his man play

the big points better. Djokovic has suffered in Grand Slam finals,

losing the matches he has earned the right to play and these are the

points. Pretty close. It did catch the back

edge. What now? That is the second time it has happened to him. Now

hold on. I accepted quickly. That is a brave

call and a good call from the umpire because the call came a long time

after the Djokovic forehand. Good hitting from Federer.

Just anxious on the forehand. A little loose. He had it in his

sights. That is brilliant work from Novak

Djokovic. He gave nothing in that tie-breaker and he has his reward.

Two sets to one in the Men's Singles final two Djokovic. -- to Djokovic.

SUE BARKER: Djokovic in control right from the start and now he has

his sights on the title. He was the champion here in 2011, he wants to

be the champion again. He has lost the last three Grand Slam finals he

has been in, that is why he has brought in Boris Becker to turn it

around. It is certainly advantage Djokovic out on Centre Court at the

moment but never, ever count out Roger Federer. He is one of the

great competitors. Now just one set away from the title.

COMMENTATOR: You No, you get statistics and numbers and bits of

paper flying back and forward, and of course in the final at Wimbledon

it doesn't come down to any of that. The number of consecutive Grand Slam

final defeats at four, you have got Lendl, Djokovic and Murray. I think

these statistics put in perspective how well Novak Djokovic played, and

only two unforced errors is pretty impressive. And just a little bit of

anxiety from Roger Federer? He tries to hit a forehand winner down the

line and he misses it. I think the bigger point was Federer serving

3-4, he had beforehand and he dragged it wide, that is his bread

and butter. These matches can be decided by such fine margins. That

is the pressure of the moment. Djokovic did well, it wasn't going

to give any ground. He is willing to keep the ball in play and let

Federer either hit the winner or take the ball out of play. Djokovic

has two avoid the let down. Two and a half hours in this sort of

atmosphere, plus the build-up beforehand, it takes its toll

mentally, concentration. No need for the roof today on Centre

Court, which was brought in in 2009. We might get a couple of spots

later on. Roger has got to keep his feet

moving here, he has covered a lot of Court in two and a half hours and he

cannot get lazy on his footwork. Djokovic this time found a piece of

green on this grass court and slept with both feet. Didn't land from too

high up but he was going up speed, chasing this one. -- going at

speed. He plays well when he is slightly injured!

Used to seeing those kind of marks on a clay court.

A bit less controlled that one, wasn't it?

This is a bit strange from Roger Federer, pretty casual. Taking it

just between the legs, hitting the ball. Down in concentration or is he

tired? I cannot say he is tired. He has certainly been put through the

ringer, both players have, maybe a little in his concentration but he

doesn't have the luxury of having one of those. He needs two sets now

to win this match. Djokovic on the other hand needs to win one of the

next two, but he doesn't want to take the chance of getting into a

fifth set with Federer. This Djokovic has given Federer so little

to get his teeth into and he will be looking to maintain the momentum,

serving first in the fourth set. He is up to -1, he will be looking to

try to seize another break of serve. A biggie no matter what happens, for

her certainly! The US Open in a few weeks on the

hard courts will conclude the Grand Slam year.

It is definitely a down moment. Yes, a little loose on a few shots. Not

used to seeing him double faults, he has served so well through the

tournament and in the finals. That is loose again. I think he

might be getting a little tired, his movement has certainly dropped a

level. Novak, on the other hand, is right on top of every shot. This

would be a good game to win. It is the break, and Djokovic is

ahead in the fourth set. 3-1. He is like fast running water acting on a

rock, he wears you down. It is unbelievable. I wonder if Federer

has got anything left. We will find out right now.

UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging the call. The ball was called out.

Judging by his reaction, he was pretty confident this ball was --

call was wrong. You cannot bluff Hawk-eye.

By the sounds of this, a few people in here fancy a fifth set!

Nothing is against Djokovic in this standing ovation. You get to know

somebody over the years and you get to love somebody on this court and

they have loved watching Roger Federer. He was out - when he lost

his serve, he looked like he needed to call a timeout. That is the mark

of a champion to come back and break serve. What was impressive about

that game - Djokovic did not give him anything. Federer earned every

shot and he came up with the goods when it was necessary and he

deserves to be back in this. We have ourselves a fourth set here. The

nature of playing Djokovic and Nadal, the top two the last few

years. The ball boy has gone over - he's

alright. JIMMY CONNORS: He knew it right

away. He should have taken it. Where does he serve on this huge

point? Federer indicating he was slightly

put off. UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, once

again, as a courtesy to both players, please stay as quiet as you

can during the rally. JIMMY CONNORS: He needs a first

serve here for sure. ANDREW CASTLE: Three breaks.

Djokovic back in front at 4-2. How resilient is he?

TIM HENMAN: You have one break of serve in three-and-a-half sets and

you have three in a row! Djokovic will be keen to take his time here

and play a strong service game. There is only so much you can take.

This was off a Federer return. Even that is quality. Looks like a shovel

but he went back deep with it! Kept his eye on the ball.

That was a predatory approach. When Federer is behind, he is going to be

more aggressive. He will go for everything.

He is not calling for quiet now, is he? Game point.

Tough stuff from Djokovic. He is a game away.

Was that 30-30 point OK for you, Jimmy Connors? That is why we are

here. It was impressive that Djokovic, he kept the ball in play,

satisfied with keeping the ball deep until he saw his chance to move

forward. Then got in there with the ball l well above the net so he

could hit the volley with some stick. Even then, Federer had the

forehand. That was the point of the game. It was. The courage and

conviction of Djokovic, he knows he has the opportunity here. He can't

keep the ball in play because Federer will be so aggressive. That,

for me, was such a big game to establish the break of serve, to get

the 5-2 lead. The crowd are going to rise to both players. Notably for

Federer in a few seconds' time. They know that this great champion - and

they both are - is on the verge here. He's thrown everything. Roger

has to take care of business here. He sure does.

This game feels like a prelude to the next. Djokovic could be serving

for the Championship. There we are. Nobody knows how hard

it is to win the last game of a Grand Slam Championship. Look what

Novak Djokovic made Andy Murray go through last year for 11 and

three-quarter minutes. He will be taking nothing for granted. One

final push from Federer, or is it all over?

Gutsy second serve from Djokovic, 108mph - one of his fastest of the

match. It forced the error from Federer.

Roger Federer was not sticking around in the baseline too long for

that one. He took the climbing ball on the backhand. He raced in.

UMPIRE: Mr Djokovic is challenging the call on the left far side line.

The ball was called out. When you challenge between your own

first and second serve, you do disrupt your rhythm if he is wrong -

and he is wrong. Djokovic is on the floor. And

Federer has broken. Djokovic is on the floor. And

Federer has broken. To me, at the beginning of that

game, it looked like Djokovic was playing not to lose. Roger was

looking to take any aggressive action he could to take the play

right to him. He got behind 0-30 and Roger played a great game. That last

running forehand was not easy. He knew that Djokovic was down in the

corner but he couldn't push the ball, he had to commit to the shot.

Three hours of play in this Men's Singles Final at Wimbledon.

It is always the challenge and Djokovic might be thinking about

that forehand at 5-3. A big second serve there from

Federer. It's brave when you make it and stupid when you miss it.

Djokovic, two points from victory. UMPIRE: Mr Federer is challenging

the call on the service line. The ball was called out.

JIMMY CONNORS: That was a big return off a big first serve there.

Three straight games - Federer is back in the match. The crowd want a

fifth set! Djokovic needs to hold serve here.

He must be rocked. At 5-5 in the fourth set, it pays

off. Earlier failures with that same play have not deterred the

seven-time champion. Previous failings haven't deterred

Federer. You wonder whether Djokovic, having served for the

Championship and having lost in his last three Grand Slam finals, will

those doubts creep in? It's long. It's four games in a row.

There is no script here on Centre Court.

We have no idea how long the performance is going to last,

either. since 2009. I think we might have

won here. All Federer has got to do since 2009. I think we might have

is hold serve. It is so difficult to predict what will happen but the

fortitude Federer has shown to keep the belief, keep the levels high...

This is what they want, Jimmy. He put the pressure on Djokovic when it

counted. Sometimes you only get one chance, and to not take advantage of

it, that is playing on his mind right now.

Certainly in these crucial games, the first point can sometimes prove

so important. We saw that went Djokovic served for the match at

5-3. Federer maintaining the theme the

point at the net. Djokovic was about six feet behind the baseline.

There was a little bit of strain on the forehand. A wry smile from Novak

Djokovic, as Federer has to points to take this into a fourth set. --

two points. It is out! It is five games in a row, Federer has

recovered from match point and will go the distance.

I didn't see that coming. Extraordinary. Digging deep. 17 time

Grand Slam champion, finding a way to come back into this match, and

aided and abetted by the 15,000 people on Centre Court. He just did

not know when to quit. Championship point down, and whilst we focus on

Federer and the glory that awaits him if he can win his eighth

championship... How do you think Djokovic is feeling at this point?

He has taken disappointment after disappointment. The crowd need a

breather. We don't have any players on Centre Court. Tim, put your

shorts on, off you go. How do you think Djokovic feels at this point,

and how do you recover from the body blow he has taken? Certainly this

will need massive strength of character. To leave the court for a

comfort break is no bad thing, to regain his thoughts and composure.

He needs to get off to a strong start in the fifth set because the

momentum has been ripped away from him. Two universally admired

sportsmen, these, not just by tennis players but in the world of sport

and theatre and cinema and television. They know what they are

looking at because this stage... No one knows what is going to happen on

it. The stage is set. We said it was a best-of-3 match, now it is one set

to decide it all. A quick look over from Roger Federer, where he will

see his name engraved seven times. The famous walk onto Centre Court.

And if the engraver was standing by to put a name... He would have been

ahead of himself, right? He would have been. Interesting to see how

Djokovic comes out in this fifth set, after serving for the match, a

match point on Federer's serve... The ball was called out, Hawk-eye

once again proving its worth. Look at Nick Kyrgios, and overrule kept

him in the match and he went on to beat Rafael Nadal. Chris Hemsworth

is in the Royal box and having a good time as well, looking a bit

more dishevelled than he was five minutes ago. That was an amazing

set. What is in store for us in the fifth? Nobody knows.

The first game in six four Djokovic, finally something goes his way. That

is a settler for him in this decider. -- the first game in six

four Djokovic. It is great to see on Henman Hill,

wonderful, the weather has been good and we have a fifth set will --

fifth set. It seems to me like Djokovic is

moving a little slowly, a little gingerly. Is it his knee? Or is he

working his way into the set? Maybe. Everything starts hurting a little

bit when you have a championship point.

I think he is calling for the trainer, is he? Nobody has ever

played more in the Grand Slam championships than these two but

they have only ever played one final, which seems surprising to me.

The 2007 US Open. But I have played two classic matches, and Djokovic

won them both, does that have relevance now? You can look back and

see what happened in statistics, we talked about that before, but to me

it looks like Federer is the fresher of the two. He has a bounce in his

step and he feels like he is lucky to still be in this. The right calf

he is having a look at there. I think for the trainer to come back

onto the court, Djokovic would have to have another injury. Not looking

at the right ankle. UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Djokovic is

receiving a medical time-out. He has a pain in the head! He has a pain in

something else on the other side of the net that won't go away! He has

his physio and trainer with him, but your own physios and trainers cannot

come out onto the court at this time, but they always liaise with

the official tournament physios. There is a north, south and Centre

Court dressing room with different teams in each one. This is a very

senior staff member. And he travels on the tour, with the players week

in, week out, so he knows what areas they have niggles in. But would you

hate to see this in a match that has gone the way this one has, you hate

to see an injury have an impact on the outcome. Remember that Novak has

just finished that game off with an ace, so whatever it is, it doesn't

appear to be terminal on his efforts. Last year it was such a

different story with Andy Murray winning in straight sets against

Djokovic who no doubt was feeling the effects of four and three

quarters hours against Juan Martin Del Potro in the semifinal. He knows

about attrition. He would expect to be able to go five hours, generally

speaking. Definitely, and there is something to remember about Andy

Murray's winning last year, it was incredibly hot on Centre Court.

Today it is almost the perfect conditions, it is warm but it is not

going to sap your energy from that point of view. Three and a half

hours is pretty long but they have certainly played a lot longer. The

pressure saps you a little bit, mentally and physically, so

everything that both players have been through, they have covered a

lot of court but the ups and downs of this match have been interesting.

Jimmy, Tim and I had never heard a noise on the court like when Tim won

Olympic gold. I wish I won Olympic gold! Oh yes, it was Andy! He was

against 15,000 people as well as Andy. It kind of seems that way

now. Very different body language from

both players. UMPIRE: New balls, please.

Roger Federer just changing racket for the first game returning with

the new tennis balls. The players favour that.

Nice, quick game for Federer to make it two all.

Total points won, parity at 163 but the last five have gone to Roger

Federer. And that was a chance for Federer at

0-15, Djokovic didn't have the best approach and he couldn't make him

hit
