He also has a small edge at the US Open agains the Serb - he has won three of their five meetings at Flushing Meadows, although Djokovic has won the most recent two of their matches here. And just as we’ve settled in for today’s match ... the rain has come. The good news ... well, it’s hard to say at the moment. Federer, a bit sloppy with six errors early, quickly down love-30 on his serve. Then again, he hasn’t been to the final here since 2009. In the past the public’s overwhelming support for Federer or Rafael Nadal has got under Djokovic’s skin, but he is a more mature figure these days. Federer, on the other hand, has been pretty ruthless when the trophy is in his sights - he’s 5-1 in the final at the US Open.

They’ve been on a collision course all year and it’s only fitting they meet for the last grand slam final of 2015. Rafael Nadal, Federer’s master over the course of their long association but marginalised now, said before this tournament he doubted we would see the shot in a grand-slam tournament. “It’s nothing new for us,” says Federer of the delay in his pre-match interview. There is a compelling reason to want Roger Federer to win his sixth US Open men’s singles title here on Sunday, and it has nothing to do with the adoration of a champion whose aura needs no gilding. Novak Djokovic may not be the most popular player plying his trade but in winning his 10th Grand Slam title here he proved once again that he is the best. He’s love-30 down. Back to deuce.
