Nadal breaks again, after Djokovic overcooks a forehand from behind the baseline. 14.50 *Djokovic 3-2 1-6 6-3 4-6 Nadal Tidy stuff from Novak, who's still giving off the impression of a man playing within himself, but that's probably not too bad when you're Novak Djokovic. When play was called off for the night, Djokovic had won a third set he looked set to lose. Djokovic not looking good out there. But Nadal's quick to punish him after that, sending him darting right then smashing it into the exposed left to make it 15-15. Silly boy. From Nadal! Both wearing tops. Lovely business. He edges forward to the net for the first time in the while, but puts his forehand into it. Nadal has very little trouble holding serve to love. Djokovic holds on, and holds serve. Nadal racing forward to get onto a drop shot, Djokovic leaving too much room for a passing forehand. Here's Rafael Nadal with his winning face on: 13.25 Djokovic 2-2 4-6 Nadal* Neither player able to build on brief glimpses of momentum at the moment. Backhand not quite firing for him, and there's a more of a spring in Nadal's step. 15.30 Djokovic 7-6 1-6 6-3 4-6 Nadal* Massive rally, like the start of the third set. Nadal wobbling some more, as Djokovic wins the first point and the Spaniard double faults on the second. We're at deuce after Nadal hits a forehand too long. The pair engage in a lengthy rally which is eventually settled by a deft volley by Nadal. The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline. He's walking a little gingerly afterwards but seems okay for the time being. Nadal pulls ahead for another break point. Nadal follows his serve in to clean up another love service game. Djokovic takes it this time at the start of the tiebreak. Here's Novak pointing to the extremely distant point in the future when this match might finish: 15.55 *Djokovic 3-1 7-6 1-6 6-3 4-6 Nadal Two men just slugging away at each other now. Djokovic gets a forehand badly wrong at 15-30 and says a loud and meaningless word which suggests he is not very happy. Djokovic does some mild protesting, which will endear you to precisely no-one in the French tennis-watching community. Djokovic played what he later described as his best quality of tennis as he steamrollered Nadal 6-3 6-2 6-3. Uneasy first service game for the Spaniard. Back to deuce, and the match clock reads three hours... Nadal has an advantage, and a break point. I'm reasonably sure all we're missing is two excellent tennis players being excellent periodically then making mistakes as soon as one of them edges ahead. Djokovic fights into a 0-15 lead but is worn down by a physical rally on the next point, then hits out to make it 30-15. 13.01 *Djokovic 4-5 Nadal Some sportsmanship has happened! Wer'e at 30-30 in this game, incidentally. This game's another stroll for Nadal. He wins a routine first point, but the second involves a very special rally, such incredible movement and execution from both players. Fault from Djokovic's first serve, then Djokovic puts one too long! Still on serve... 13.20 *Djokovic 2-1 4-6 Nadal It's not a classic., this. Coincidentally, I also went for a comfort break. Another spectacular return and Nadal overcooks his backhand. 14.58 *Djokovic 3-4 1-6 6-3 4-6 Nadal Now, Nadal into a quick 0-30 lead. 16.51 *Djokovic 7-9 7-6 1-6 6-3 4-6 Nadal Djokovic has really struggled today with overhead shots. Longest rally of the game so far at 21 shots. Azad Marionette could be right, you know: <noframe>Twitter: Azad Marionette - <a href="http://www.twitter.com/thomgibbs" target="_blank">@thomgibbs</a> Yes, someone will beat Rafa on clay eventually. This was a contest that cannot be forgotten. Excellent forehand which Nadal can only dink back into the net. Hopefully that we're in for some thoroughly bad-tempered sport... 11.45 Some composed Twitter work from Thomas Berdych: <noframe>Twitter: Tomáš Berdych - Dont ask me who is going to win today, pls...I have Twitter lesson...thx</noframe> 11.40 ITV4, somewhat oddly, are making a far bigger deal of Tsonga-Ferrer than the match that's actually about to take place. Nadal hits his next one too long. 16.08 Djokovic 4-3 7-6 1-6 6-3 4-6 Nadal* Okay, we're back. Not like him at all. Here, we pick out five of their most memorable battles. Djokovic being forced around the court a bit more now, but Nadal hits one beyond the sideline as he's building momentum. This was another classic played over two days because of the epic battle between Kevin Anderson and John Isner that preceded it. Since 2008, they have occupied all four semi-final spots on four occasions, at the 2008 US Open, 2011 French Open, 2011 US Open and 2012 Australian Open, as well as taking three of the four spaces on nine other separate occasions. 16.45 *Djokovic 7-7 7-6 1-6 6-3 4-6 Nadal Here comes Nocak, serving to stay in the match again, and drawing attention to the slippery nature of the back of the court. ITV's commentators seem to think that Djokovic is carrying a minor injury, but he was, apparently, back quickly. 40-30, but then Nadal puts one into the net! 13.55 *Djokovic 6-3 4-6 Nadal So Djokovic is serving for the set. Slight glimmer of light for one player and immediate crumpling to lose momentum. Djokovic led by a break in the decider as he chased the title he wanted more than any other but was penalised for leaning over the net at a key moment and could not hold on.
