What a backhand that was by Roger!
He's just saved three set points.

Federer levels it up at one set all after saving six set points.
This could be one of the all time great finals.
Come on Roger!

Match suspended with Djokovic a break up in the third set.
Could that help Federer like it did in 2012 when the final against Murray was suspended and the remainder of the match was played under the roof?

Covers coming off. Excellent, just sat down with some crisps cheese and a glass of beer to see the rain delay!

It takes around 10 minutes to close the roof and then around 30 minutes to get the air temperature correct.
Apparently they are expecting the rain to start again shortly.

Meanwhile Djokovic takes the third set 6-4.
Obviously the delay didn't affect him!

Federer on the brink.
He's just saved two break points at 4-2 down to hold his serve but Djokovic is still a break up and serving at 4-3.

I do agree with Henman that they should have the roof open whenever possible and only close it as a last resort.

Djokovic wins 7-6 6-7 6-4 6-3.
Decent match in the end but not quite the classic I thought it might have been.

It's great to see the sportsmanship that exists in tennis where the losing finalist can talk so genuinely and graciously in defeat into a microphone in front of the victor, the crowd and the tv audience. However, maybe it's the football fan in me that would chuckle if there was a real toys out the pram moment with a few expletives thrown in "that ****s a cheating ******* I was robbed **** youse all" before barging past Sue Barker and storming off in a huff. Maybe if sparky had picked up a racquet instead of a football...

On the other hand, there's not much room for cheating in tennis during matches. Even if the ref's a mason - or a Knight of Columbus - he/she can always be overruled by the video. Maybe if the same thing applied in football we'd see the same impeccable manners from Scottish footballers. OK maybe not.
