One great return from Fed in that game. But Millman holds to 15. Fed mostly shanking.

Millman breaks Federer’s serve after Federer sails the forehand long!

Another great cross court backhand pass from Millman to start Fed's service game. Fed gets an easy point. Then double faults. Millman with a great down the line backhand to get the double break point. Saves one. But Millman takes the second. He's got the momentum and the break.

Millman breaks. John looks relaxed like a man on a mission. Federer looks like he's just spotted Mirka canoodling in a broom cupboard with Radek Stepanek.

I love it how the ball kids pick up and cradle the offending insect before taking it off-court. Have they been directed to do this? I'm wondering if once they are out of camera shot, they just stamp on the critters.

Millman could not consolidate the break and we are back on serve in the 5th set. Probably one of the most nerviest service games from Millman the whole match. Federer did hit some forehand winners in that game.

Federer holds...both players are nervous and anxious right now. They are missing routine shots...

Yeah, tought of winning a little bit got to Millman. Will be hard from here on, but I hope he can keep fighting and stay with Fed.

What’s interesting though is that Federer’s body language looks like he down a break in the 5th set...
