    Medvedev 2-6 6-7 (7-9) 1-0 Thiem*

    Can't work out if Thiem is moving freely between points or not. The camera keeps panning close but it looks like he's slightly limping.

    He's moving well during the points though.

    Ah, but even he can't reach a drop-shot from Medvedev. Deuce...

    Eventually Medvedev gets there. Like a puppeteer, he brings Thiem forward to front of stage and then drags him back. The Austrian leaps, wafts his racquet but can't execute.

    "AAAAAAARRRRGGGH DOMI!" he grunts.

    Medvedev off the hook

    The treatment looks to have done the trick. Thiem moves 30-0 ahead, Medvedev narrows the gap with a backhand winner.

    An ace levels... or is it? Thiem challenges. He's wrong.

    Medvedev groans after planting a forehand long. Break point Thiem...

    Thiem is back on his feet and sticks his trainers back on. G to G? Yes.

    Medvedev to get this third set under way.

    Three, four or five? Take your pick.

    Mask on, towel out. The physio gets to work on Thiem's right leg with a countdown from the umpire ringing in his ear.

    Thiem needs a medical time-out. Like any good patient, he gives a through amateur diagnosis to the doc.

    "It's my Achilles," is the gist of it.

    Dominic Thiem nabs it!

    The pair are locked in a baseline duel before the Austrian plugs into the mains and sticks a volt through his forehand. Medvedev's racquet can't cope.

    Medvedev had his chances but couldn't take them.

    A two-sets-to-love lead. Been here before tonight, haven't we...

    Medvedev misses a volley but gets another shot after an overrule. Lengthy baseline battle, grunts from both ends, each man drilling the ball... the Russian ramps up the pace and clinches the 34-shot point.
