• Former world No 1 takes third set on tie-break
• Nadal had hit back to level semi-final showdown
At the end of a very long Friday when nothing could be taken for granted, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic added an entertaining late-night postscript to the heroics that had earlier transfixed Centre Court in the sunshine for six hours and 36 minutes, but must return on Saturday to determine who meets Kevin Anderson in Sunday’s final.
Djokovic took the first 6-4 and the third 7-6 (9), Nadal the second 6-3.
