Djokovic challenges a Norrie ball which Hawk-Eye shows well inside the lines and the Brit stays alive in the game, getting to deuce. But the unforced errors are back to get Norrie leading 15-30. But Norrie issued the perfect response, breaking Djokovic's serve in the opening game. There appear to be some nerves as he hits another double fault but he takes the set with a 124mph ace. And all of a sudden, Norrie finds himself facing break point as his drop shot attempt fails to make it over the net. Another break point for Djokovic though and the No 1 seed sends it long. And the top seed holds to lead 3-2, earning more games than he did in set one. It's Norrie's turn for a questionable challenge in this set, as he questions the top seed's ace but Hawk-Eye shows it inside the line. But Norrie isn't going down without a fight, saying he could beat Djokovic "for sure" when asked. The top seed is looking to win a 21st Grand Slam title at the All England Club this week while the British No 1 is playing in his first-ever Major final.
