But let's not forget two-sets-to-love and now looking right in the face of a semi-final defeat Tomas Berdych. I'm not writing anything off here as Federer serves for the match, and he holds 4-5.
Sure looks like it from where I'm sitting. It has to be superhuman to follow up a break with a love hold when you're sniffling and sneezing and facing (the familiar, agreed) pressure of staring down the barrel at a Wimbledon final.
Even if you're winning, and even if you're Federer.
But that's a love hold. 5-3 to Roger Federer in the third.
Federer threatens a bit with that break - almost playing it like match point, and indeed a break then might well have sealed it quick for the Swiss. But his feathers are ruffled and you can see it.

Federer is constantly sneezing into his tissues. Let's remind you it's 6:30 pm in London. About 20 degrees Celsius and while it's not rainy it's certainly got clouds somewhere around.
If you love tennis and weren't a Berdych fan, you should be now. Some great play from the Czech to run, hit, return, and we thought that forehand was going into the stands.
He's scoring points faster than I'm typing, almost, is Roger Federer. Far more in control in this tiebreak. Berdych trying to attack Federer's second serve but it's really not paying the dividends he'd like.
