Paire won too

Berdych in serious trouble. Dzumhur up 5-2 in the third.

Dzumhur finally puts Berdych to sleep.

Berdych missed an absolute sitter of a volley on an earlier break point.

Thiem - Daniel is really good to watch. Great tennis. Shame that this is on a small court and camera angle is not so good.

Nadal takes the first set 6-3

Thanks bert, I'm going to tune into that right now.

 

[isabelle]

shame on Birdie who'll be out of top 8 next monday

Berdych never has been an excepcional player but this year is playing really bad

 

[britbox]

Thiem levels things up by taking the second set 6-2. He obviously likes doing things the hard way!

16w/8l but lost 3 times on Djokovic, once on Federer, once on Raonic and twice on Kyrgios when he was on fire. Not too bad IMO. He seemed not to be 100% fit today, complaining about his leg. Clearly not moving well IMO

I'm surprised because he is another lucky player who doesn't get injuries very often, I don't remember if he got just once

I think he retired few weeks ago in Davis Cup against Kohlschreiber, but not sure to be honest, I have to check

 

[britbox]

Thiem goes through. I like the guy's game - much more dimensional than guys like Coric.

Thiem beats Daniel 4/6 6/2 6/0

 

[britbox]

Rafa through to a mouth watering clash against Dominic Thiem. Beats Bedene 6/3 6/3

 

[britbox]

Novak Djokovic up next to defend his title.

 

[EdbergsGhost]

I did not realize Djokovic is the only player to have won the first three Masters in a calendar year.
