Can't let Djokovic back into it, not when you have all the momentum. This is still not totally like the RG final, Wawrinka is making more mistakes and looks more vulnerable on serve.

Good hold. Djokovic looks like he found his rhythm though. He's bringing more back and making less errors. Wawrinka has to keep hitting that first serve.

Wawrinka isn't hitting those winners anymore. It's gonna take something huge for him to regain momentum and take the set. Djokovic looks like he's settling in. Man, if only he could have kept the break.
 
Can't say the tennis gods didn't help Stan out, with his multiple shanks in one point at Deuce and got away with them. But seriously, his defence and backhand down the line have been unreal tonight. I keep thinking he's going blow himself out and come to earth, but he's done this before, for three sets in a Slam final...

Djokovic really needs to catch on to the body serves. Stan keeps going for them on the Deuce side on big points and getting freebies.

Steadiness from Wawrinka and nerves from Novak on the big points have proved to be the difference in that set, too.
 
Also, what's with Novak doing his best Murray impression and demanding more from his box? Not the guy to copy on court behavior from, I'd have thought.
