Federer isn't so much choking the break points as Tomic is doubling the level of his game during them. That dropshot was brilliant.
1/12 on break points for Federer now
make that 1/13
While you can make an excuse for Federer as Tomic played well on half of the break points, Fed screwed up at least 4-5 easy ones.

Get out the steamroller.
They are playing fast. No time wasting from Tomic. I like that.
Tomic has gained ground, but not enough yet.
Same here. I hate towelers.
He would need a good draw. Bumping into the big 4 before the QF is pretty probably at the moment lookin at his ranking.
How many DTL BHs did Tomic miss today?
Perhaps, but anyone outside the top 4 is fair game I'd say, and I think Djoko is still not a Wimbledon lock in terms of beating anyone outside the Big 4.
Tomic's backhand looks much improved, that is going to be quite a shot in the future. He's got it off both wings, it's falling into place. That forehand is going to be pretty difficult to utilise effectively on clay mind.
Great match to watch. No time wasting, attacking play, high level.
Fed's defense tonight has been INCREDIBLE. Match was won on that 5-3 point in the breaker that Tomic seemingly had in the bag to go to 6-3... But Fed with a couple of impossible stabs to stay in and eventually win it.
Such clean tennis by both guys. Impressed by both.
Someone like Nadal would have wasted an hour by now.
Yes, according to suresh, Federers famed defensive is just "fluke shots landing in". I'll never forget that one...Fed's defense tonight has been INCREDIBLE.
