“I got to focus on my own thing. I know it sounds boring, but it’s not my mistake,” Federer said, refusing to pay homage to London’s inclement weather. “It’s just what happened. I might take a day off tomorrow just because I can.

“I have to take them when I can. I’m an old guy. I’m looking forward to my day off tomorrow. On Sunday I’ll practise with more intensity, I guess, to keep that intensity, play points, go to the gym again. Tomorrow it’s relax, and Monday hopefully I’ll have great energy when I come back.”

Djokovic’s shock defeat to American Sam Querrey on Saturday ended the dominant Serb’s quest for a calendar grand slam and blew the men’s draw wide open — leaving 7 Times Champion Roger Federer and 2013 Champion Murray as the new title favourites.
