Rogers Cup: Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic advance in Cincinnati

For Djokovic and Federer, back in action for the first time since the Serb's victory over the Swiss in the Wimbledon final.

WC: Both teams should have been joint winners

Those celebrating like Team England and Novak Djokovic were genuinely commiserative of the vanquished in New Zealand and Roger Federer.

The actor attended the 48th faceoff between Federer and Djokovic on the court and the 16th in a Grand Slam on Sunday.

The match had to be decided in the fifth set, as both Federer and Djokovic won two sets each in the longest ever final to be played so far.

The 37-year-old Swiss can clinch a record-extending 21st major if he manages to break free of the world number one's stranglehold.

Standing in England’s way are eternal underdogs New Zealand who don’t believe in making noise.

The top of the rankings remains unchanged a week after Nadal claimed the Roland Garros title with victory over Dominic Thiem in the final.

Thiem downed the world number one 6-2, 3-6, 7-5, 5-7, 7-5.

Novak Djokovic continued his untroubled progress as he beat Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff 6-3, 6-2, 6-2

World number one Djokovic completed his first private stranglehold of all four Slams with victory at Roland Garros in 2016.
