Second set: Dominic Thiem 3-6 3-1* Alexander Zverev: Another good hold for Dominic Thiem, who found his first serve and is targeting Zverev’s often frail forehand whenever he can. He closed it off by breaking down Zverev’s forehand with a vicious crosscourt forehand before slamming down a 211kmh ace.

Second set: Dominic Thiem 3-6 *2-1 Alexander Zverev: Well then! This time, Zverev throws in a dire service game of his own. The German opened with two double faults to fall down 0-30 and it seemed to completely unsettle him. With two more unforced errors in the game, he handed over his formidable serve after winning 12 points in a row. Thiem cannot afford to let this chance go.
