Sooooo damn tense in the 5th set, my flatmate was worried for me

I posted after the first set that I'd probably be a big fan of Djoko's tennis, if he could be solid on the points that mattered. WELL, way to shove it in my face Nole Happy for him, though obviously gutted that Roger lost.

Set 2 & set were very mysterious to say the least! How can some player have such a drastic drop in level of play is beyond comprehension? :-?

This was an amazing match, man tennis just keeps getting better.

^ Yeah. And his 1st serve percentage was abysmal.

Typically this is what happens when he takes 2 days off instead of 1 - he loses his rhythm.

He also mentioned that he should have made Djokovic work harder to win sets 2 and 4. I assume he did not fight hard for them after getting broken and tried to save his energy and focus for the other sets where the odds were better.
