In this fifth set of this match, Mahut appeared to take a tennis ball right in the twig and berries.

/To add insult to injury, his team lost the match
//They split about 375 grand in prize money, so it's not all bad.

It's been a bizarre match today between Fed and Djoker, quality of tennis has been great, but Djoker has had moments where his mind has simply wondered away and yet he leads 2 sets to 1 currently.

We need a fifth and deciding set to decide a winner. Just a reminder that if we get to 12-12 there will be a tie-breaker.

What a shot by djoker for the break

Federer responds with his own break.

Nerves and tension from both guys in that last game.

Roger is bringing out the dropper in the hopes of ending the point quickly. Methinks he's running on fumes (not a surprise after 3+ hours on court).

Wow, what a dive by Djoker for the winner.

That one-handed backhand of Fed's (the topspin, not the slice) has been wonky in this 5th set.

Mahut: “ i can feel it in my plums “

10 years ago, it was Roger vs. Andy Roddick that was an epic five-setter than Roger won 16-14 in the 5th set. Only break of serve in the match was the last game.
