Djokovic into the championship, which given his draw.....obviously. Fed/Nadal about to start.

Fed vs Djokovic. Djokovic probably will handle him but big win for Fed.

men's doubles final was crazy. five hour match. first four sets decided with a tiebreak. nick mahut got destroyed all day. face, throat and a final blow to the nuts. colombian team of juan sebastian cabal and robert farah won. pretty sure that is first colombian tennis title.

Feds plays a pretty flawless first set, clunks the last four points of the tiebreak to lose it. Steep climb from here.

Annoyingly has choked away both tiebreaks. Down 2-1 and yet to face a break point.

Joker looks like he is playing his C game and still is somehow up 2 sets to 1.
