DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 6-6 ZVEREV: Djokovic is always good on the stretch, and reaches a brilliant one-hander to take himself to game point. Zverev gets himself back in it with a gentle dink over the net but he can't close it out - it's another tie-break.
-
DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 5-6 ZVEREV: A love service game for Zverev this time, as Djokovic complains about something, possibly his lack of pace on the ball.
-
DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 5-5 ZVEREV: An absolute belter of an ace from Djokovic to see off the Zverev pressure and secure his serve.
-
DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 4-5 ZVEREV: Djokovic does a couple of air backhands, to indicate what he has been intending to do, but doesn't pull off in this game at all.
-
DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 4-4 ZVEREV: Two break points saved by Djokovic and that's a valuable hold.

-
DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 3-3 ZVEREV: The crucial hold from Djokovic to level up! Can Zverev do the same? He's not managed a single ace so far this set.

DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 2-3 ZVEREV: Zverev's stomach is taped up as well, you can see it as he stretches on serve, and his first serve is very shaky in this game. Djokovic is coming out on top in the lengthy rallies.
-
DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 1-3 ZVEREV: Djokovic is really glaring at his team whenever he gets the opportunity. He gets on the board in this fourth but is playing much like he did in the first.
-
DJOKOVIC 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-4, 0-3 ZVEREV: This is a massive stroke of luck for Zverev, who twice serves double-faults and hands Djokovic break points, but he manages to recover to hold.
