FERRER 4-6 6-3 6-1 - GAME, SET & MATCH! An underwhelmed looking Ferrer jogs up to the net after a Tipsarevic forehand goes astray. There's no real celebration from the Spaniard, with nothing riding on the match, and instead he just looks tired. But he departs London with two wins out of three and will head to Prague for the Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic next weekend
-
FERRER 4-6 6-3 5-1 - Tisarevic denies Ferrer on his first game point, pushing the Spaniard deep before popping up to the net to dink an easy forehand volley into the open court. But there is nothing Tipsarevic can do about it second time around and Ferrer holds to leave Tipso serving to stay in this match

FERRER 4-6 6-3 4-1 - BREAK! Tipsarevic really is looking like he's in his final match of the season now as he tamly concedes his serve once again. Ferrer, still not going through to tomorrow's semi-finals even if/when he does win this match, will have the Davis Cup final next weekend before he gets to the end of season break
-
FERRER 4-6 6-3 3-1 - A love hold for Ferrer as he consolidates the break early in this third set. It's just the one break but it does open up a considerable window for the Spaniard

FERRER 4-6 6-3 2-1 - BREAK! Tipsarevic is furious with himself and flings his racquet to the ground in disgust after a fairly regulation forehand ends up in the bottom of the net. It clearly works, albeit it only briefly, as the next point is sublime from the Serb but another forehand error and Ferrer has break points. But only one is needed as Tipsarevic's forehand catches the top of the tape and sits up a little for the Spaniard who races up to the net and whips it away for a forehand winner
-
FERRER 4-6 6-3 1-1 - Tipsarevic seems to have his legs back as he charges around the baseline to get Ferrer on the back foot only for someone in the crowd to yell out just before he hit what should have been a straightforward winner to break. Tipso ends up hitting the ball out and Ferrer goes on to survive and hold
-
FERRER 4-6 6-3 0-1 - No trainer for Tipsarevic during the change of ends but he opens the final set with an easy service hold and a unreturnable on the final point. He'll be pretty pleased if he can keep all his service games ticking over like that

FERRER 4-6 6-3 - SET! Ferrer levels the match with a fairly cruisey service hold, sealing it in the end with an unreturnable serve
-
FERRER 4-6 5-3 - Tipsarevic looks bizarrely out of break and is taking an age between points but he does manage to hold and at the very least force Ferrer to serve out this set. It would not be surprising if we see the doctor and/or the trainer for the Serb at the end of this set
-
FERRER 4-6 5-2 - Only a double fault at 40-0 up ruins what would otherwise be a perfect game for Ferrer as he holds to consolidate that break lead and leaves Tipsarevic preparing to serve to stay in this second set

FERRER 4-6 4-2 - BREAK! Apparently neither player actually quite knows how to win this match as Tipsarevic labours through a service game that he eventually concedes with an error to hand Ferrer the initiative back in this second set. Also the longer this match goes on the more it favours Ferrer, you get the feeling Tipsarevic really needs to get it won in straight sets if he's going to win at all

FERRER 4-6 3-2 - BREAK! Just when he was beginning to look like he had exorcised all the demons he was struggling with early in the match, Ferrer looks irritated again and hands Tipsarevic the break back with a forehand out of play. And he swipes at the court with his racquet in frustration on the way back to the chair
-
FERRER 4-6 3-1 - Tipsarevic does a much better job on serve this time around as he gives Tipsarevic nothing and instead races through to get his side of the scoreboard ticking over again
-
FERRER 4-6 3-0 - Ferrer races through another service hold to consolidate the break and he is firmly back in this match now and looking increasingly in control

FERRER 4-6 2-0 - BREAK! Tipsarevic handing the initiative to Ferrer with a double fault that hands the Spaniard three break points. Tipsarevic saves the first with a great dipping backhand that Ferrer can only return into the net. But the Spaniard does break at the second attempt when Tipso sends an off-backhand wide
-
FERRER 4-6 1-0 - A great lob from Ferrer that a rapidly retreating Tipsarevic can only clip with the frame of his racquet and thats a hold to open the set for the Spaniard

FERRER 4-6 - SET! Another set point goes begging for Tipsarevic when he is made to run by Ferrer, only ending when he sends an off-balance cross court forehand wide. But the Serb sets up a third chance and this time he gets it, a cracking off-forehand winner across court to secure Tipsarevic's first set of the week
-
FERRER 4-5 - Ferrer inches every closer to levelling up this match as he holds once again without too much trouble, when Tipsarevic sends a backhand wide. The Serb will have one last chance to serve out the set next ...

FERRER 3-5 - BREAK! With just over half an hour gone and Ferrer is facing a set point after dumping a cross court forehand into the net ... But the chance goes begging for Tipso as he stops mid-point to challenge on a vicious forehand down the line only to be proven wrong. He gets a second chance but again the Ferrer forehand saves it. And the Spaniard then goes on to break when Tipsarevic sends a cross court forehand wide

FERRER 2-5 - BREAK! A backhand long from Ferrer hands Tipsarevic another two brea points. The Spaniard has won just one point behind his second serve so far this evening. He saves the first break point by working his way up to the net and dinking a forehand volley winner into the open court. But there is little he can do about the second as he slaps a forehand long and Tipso will serve for the set after the change of ends
