Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 0-0 Bautista Agut* (40-40)
Djokovic overhits on return. "VAMOS!" yells Bautista Agut!
Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 0-0 Bautista Agut* (40-40)
A sumptuous volley by Bautista Agut gets Djokovic's applause, but the Spaniard then nets a forehand.
Deuce number 3. Vital game this is turning into...
Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 0-0 Bautista Agut* (ad Djokovic)
Oh no! With Djokovic beaten, Bautista Agut's half-volley drifts wide.
BREAK POINT NO. 3...
Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 0-0 Bautista Agut* (40-40)
Another break point brilliantly saved, with a forehand and smash to follow-up!
*Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 0-1 Bautista Agut
WHAT A HOLD OF SERVE!
Djokovic threw everything at him, but it still wasn't enough!
A forehand winner, and a serve and volley clinically executed with a gorgeous backhand drop volley, and Bautista Agut escapes.
"VAMOS!" he shouts again. His box are on their feet! Incredible stamina by the 31-year-old Spaniard.
*Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 0-1 Bautista Agut (30-30)
A double fault from Djokovic at 30-15...
*Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 1-1 Bautista Agut
Two big serves, and assured follow-ups, means Djokovic holds to 30.
Pressure back on Bautista Agut.
Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 1-1 Bautista Agut* (30-15)
Djokovic slips after a wrong-footer, and as opposed to his slip in the first set, he takes a tad longer to get up form this one.
Again though, no harm done.
Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 1-1 Bautista Agut* (30-40)
Full recovery. Djokovic in the zone now, as he slides to his backhand to force Bautista Agut to hit a half volley, which the Serb returns.
BREAK POINT... the Spaniard is hanging by a thread.
*Djokovic 6-2 4-6 6-3 2-1 Bautista Agut
DJOKOVIC BREAKS!
It was coming. Bautista Agut finally succumbs, and overhits.
Djokovic with the break in the fourth, is their any way back for the Spaniard here?
I said Bautista Agut needed to take his chance in the third set. He didn't, and despite his continued good form, Djokovic when he's in this mood is on simply another level!
