Winner will play Raonic who has won the third set tie break with Dzumhur.

Paire bottles it. Murray wins on a Paire double fault.

Andy finally won but it was a poor performance, he musn''t be happy about his game today

Such a shame he was broken twice in the 2nd set leading 40-0 and was leading 30-15 5-4 in the 3rd...

Agreed... but Paire must be feeling even worse... Double break up in the second and lost the set and then failed to serve out the match.

Next up Nadal/Thiem... Hope Dominic's foot isn't too bad.

3 BPs for Thiem....

 

[Bert]

That cross court forehand on Nadal's backhand works really well

 

[britbox]

Thiem breaks. You've got to be impressed with this young fella's game... love his single handed backhand, that whipping cross court forehand and I like his point construction - he will go for his shots.

Lots of long rallies already - we'll get to see how fit these guys are for sure.

And with the break. Nadal is rolling everything to the kid's one handed backhand...

Not sure it's going to work with Thiem though!

It's a cumulative thing there... he may hold up better than Fed back there, but he's got to get creative or Mr. Ticks will pummel him all day.

... but maybe not.

Yeah, my last post was agreeing with the post before.

Nadal breaks back.

Agree with you ! It will be more and more painful with time.

3 more BPs for Thiem.

Ouch.... that missed BP has got to hurt. 2 others he should have taken also.
