It's one set apiece in Wimbledon final

July 12, 2015 20:38

The Wimbledon final is evenly poised with both Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer winning a set apiece.

Both the sets have gone to the tie-break, the Serb winning the first 7-1, and the Swiss taking the second 12-10, with Djokovic wasting seven set points.

Federer, chasing a record eighth Wimbledon title, landed the first punch in the set, breaking the Djokovic serve to love for a 4-2 lead when the world number one netted a straightforward mid-court backhand.

But the second-seeded Swiss's serve, which had been functioning with laser precision throughout the tournament, then faltered allowing Djokovic to break back immediately.

Both players stayed strong to force the tiebreak where Serb Djokovic raced into a 6-1 lead and closed it out when Federer served his first double fault of the match.
