Federer missed an early opportunity to break in the second, but his opponent miraculously saved five break points in his opening service game. The players raced through the middle of the set, each holding comfortably until Federer led 5-4.

An incredibly hard-fought game followed, as Djokovic once again held off Federer magnificently despite the Swi...
