    Alexander Zverev sends a forehand into one corner before targeting the opposite side and Jodar is nowhere to be seen.

    The German earns two opportunities at break point when Jodar's forehand strays long.

    A complete contrast to the opening set when Rafael Jodar and Alexander Zverev each picked up a break and then battled through a tie-break.

    There was tension and intrigue, but Jodar just seems to be struggling in his first Grand Slam quarter-final as Zverev's experience is shining through.

    Jodar 6-7 (3-7) 1-5 Zverev*

    It's difficult to see how Rafael Jodar gets back into this match now as Alexander Zverev closes in on a two-set lead.

    Zverev looks much fresher.

    Actually, Jodar might have just found a second wind. The Spaniard gets his first opportunity to break in this set.

    Jodar 6-7 (3-7) 1-5 Zverev*

    Rafael Jodar gathers himself after disputing that call and saves the first break point.

    But a perfectly placed drop shot from Alexander Zverev asks far too much of Jodar and he can only return into the net.

    Zverev will serve for the set.

    *Jodar 6-7 (3-7) 1-4 Zverev

    It's worth remembering that Alexander Zverev has played around four hours fewer of tennis than Rafael Jodar at this tournament.

    Zverev has won three successive games. Is his freshness now starting to come to the fore?

    A laboured backhand down the line from Jodar crashes off the net post as he trails 30-15. Jodar shows he still has some running in those legs as he meets Zverev's drop shot but the German returns long.

    Actually, the umpire overrules the call and says Jodar's return was wide. Two break points for the German.

    Rafael Jodar clenches his fist and raises it in the air to celebrate. A huge sense of relief as he saves the break.

    The crowd certainly seem to be on the teenager's side as he arcs a forehand winner down the line for advantage.

    Alexander Zverev refuses to let this game pass him by that easily, though, as they go to deuce.

    But Jodar can't keep the run going and has a break point to defend.

    *Jodar 6-7 (3-7) 1-2 Zverev

    Alexander Zverev seems to be taking a little more time before each serve now - maybe he just wants to slow the tempo of this match a little.

    There's a debate over whether he lands an ace to seal a hold to 30 but the umpire is down from her chair to check and it's deemed wide.

    No bother, Zverev gets the hold on second serve.

    Jodar 6-7 (3-7) 1-1 Zverev*

    Alexander Zverev was a little unhappy with a pile-up of clay at the baseline in the previous game and it looks like the ball has just taken an awkward bobble as he completely misses with a forehand.
