With Federer on the serve, Djokovic hit a good return which was met by Nadal who was standing on the net. Nadal hit it wide across which was returned by Djokovic lobbing the ball over. Federer hit it on the bounce towards his left where Murray had positioned himself quickly as Djokovic was on the other side.
Murray also had to return the ball through a lob which saw Nadal and Federer exchange places. Federer went to the net while Nadal paced back watching the ball and hit his trademark skyhook shot. The shoot took a massive swing but Murray managed to return it only for Federer to overhit and concede the point.
