  1. Djokovic saves match point

    *Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (6-6) Thiem

    Now Novak finds a big serve at the most important time. Thiem can't get it back in play.

    We go on in the tie-break.

  2. *Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (5-6) Thiem

    Not a bad time for an ace!

    Match point for Dominic Thiem...

  3. Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (5-5) Thiem*

    Another timely first serve from Dominic Thiem.

  4. Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (5-4) Thiem*

    The serve edges Djokovic back into the lead. This could go either way.

  5. *Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (4-4) Thiem

    Thiem comes roaring back, attacking a easy-paced Djokovic second serve. Both men look nervous.

  6. *Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (4-3) Thiem

    Djokovic gets a good piece of a Thiem second serve but the ball flops into the net. Still, the five-time champ has the advantage.

  7. Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (4-2) Thiem*

    Now it's Dominic Thiem struggling and looking over at his box. He hits the ball way long.

    That's four points in a row for the Serb.

  8. Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (3-2) Thiem*

    Djokovic seals a third point in a row with a forehand winner. Suddenly he's focussed again.

  9. *Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (2-2) Thiem

    A better point from Novak as he clinical moves Thiem around with the forehand.

  10. *Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (1-2) Thiem

    An error from Thiem hands the mini-break back. We're back on serve.

  11. Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (0-1) Thiem*

    Okay. This is odd from Djokovic. He loses the first point of the breaker after missing a forehand. He just turns and starts tossing his racquet in the air.

    He looks distracted!

  12. Tim Henman
    Former British number one on BBC One

    Just incredible hitting by Thiem! The ability to unload on that backhand, full commitment, such strength in the core, the body doesn't move, the arm is accelerating. He did well to finish it off with the volley.

  13. Thiem holds after saving set points

    *Djokovic 5-7 6-6 (0-0) Thiem

    Oh that's so good from Dominic Thiem. It's a massive point but he shows no sign of nerves and keeps swinging. In the end he wins the point at the net.

    Tie-break time.

  14. Djokovic 5-7 6-5 Thiem*

    Thiem moves to within one good hit of the game but another clip of the tape goes Djokovic's way. It gives him time to steady himself and slap a forehand away.

    Deuce again.

  15. Thiem saves second set point

    Djokovic 5-7 6-5 Thiem*

    Thiem's coach is up out of his seat. Brilliant serving under pressure. There's not much Djokovic could do with that.

    Deuce.

  16. Djokovic 5-7 6-5 Thiem*

    The first set point is saved. One more to come.

  17. Djokovic 5-7 6-5 Thiem*

    Argh. We have not seen this so far today. Thiem misses again, this time with a forehand.

    Two set points for Djokovic.

  18. Djokovic 5-7 6-5 Thiem*

    Eeeek. A double fault from Dominic Thiem.

    15-30.

  19. Djokovic 5-7 6-5 Thiem*

    So Thiem needs this game to force a tie-break. If he fails we're going to decider.

    It would be very Djokovic for a break to come now.

  20. Tim Henman
    Former British number one on BBC One

    Djokovic did look a bit fragile with some of his expressions and body language but he is fully engaged and keeping his nose in front in this set.
