Watch the condensed match of Novak Djokovic v Roger Federer in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2016.
Passing shot there from Djokovic.
Exquisite length early on from Novak.
What a statement of intent.
Oh, I like it.
Oh, wow.
Jaw-dropping stuff in the opening three games.
His serve has been incredible.
To the quick head-to-head.
Who's got the better forehand, Federer or Djokovic?
Oh, that's lovely.
That's tennis that he's played in the tournament.
That is a set played with ruthless efficiency.
Just 22 minutes.
Novak wins at 6-1.
Oh, it's unplayable.
And quick reflection.
Nicely done.
Good disguise.
It's an oil painting of a backhand.
It's such an early strike.
Oh, he is on.
He's missed it long.
Djokovic.
Oh, against 90 layers.
Those shots would have been good enough.
Oh, he has been utterly dominant.
It's like PlayStation tennis.
Just pinging it back and forward.
Djokovic.
There's that serve.
Federer just taking the pace off of it.
Sorry, but could Federer hit a better second serve just there?
And look what happened.
Advantage. Djokovic.
Oh, that is another forehand of rich quality.
Advantage. Djokovic.
Second set.
Maybe a bit more emotion.
Again, Federer.
That also motivates him to try and achieve.
Oh, what can he do?
Again, Djokovic.
What does he think?
Again.
But I do ask myself the question, is it a microcosm of what's actually happening?
Federer's got that.
That's all these.
Oh, he had it.
Sadly took it.
Lovely.
Again, Djokovic.
First time he's used that backhand down the line.
Oh, that was nice.
Out of nowhere, a little bit of S&V on the second delivery.
Oh, he has used the full mentions of the court there.
Yes.
He's done it.
Again, Djokovic.
Some important holes.
Again, Federer.
Characteristic.
Go back there.
Oh, that's a miss.
Got to be kidding me.
At his most.
Three.
