1555 hrs IST: An hour and 14 minutes after start, Thiem wins the opening set 7-6. Meanwhile in the other match, Carreno Busta’s journey ends with him pulling out. Nadal led 6-2, 2-0 before his fellow Spaniard called it quits

1525 hrs IST: Thiem levels things at 4-4 in the opening set

1518 hrs IST: Djokovic gets the crucial break and leads 4-2. And now Thiem brings up two break right back points after Djokovic fails to control his backhand.

1515 hrs IST: On the other court, Nadal has already won the opening set 6-2. Nadal converting all four break point chances he brought up.

1503 hrs IST: Thiem has Djokovic approaching the net and then keeps the racket angle on mark to pass Nole at the net. Brings up break points. Another instance of heavy hitting from the back but Thiem mishits and it goes long. Back to deuce. If first four games are any impression, expect a cagey fight. Thiem comes back to save one game point but Djokovic now has another. And another goes begging. Thiem doing a solid job of keeping Djokovic on his feet and moving. Oh! This time Thiem tries to find the sideline but he misses narrowly. This time he goes down the line for a gorgeous backhand winner. Back to deuce. Thiem with five backhand winners to Djokovic’s zero. Once again Djokvic fails to close the game out. Wind playing a big role in this game. Nole looks to slide the ball back but doesn’t get enough on the angle. Another chance for Djokovic to hold serve. Linesman calls Thiem’s backhand long, chair person says it is in but TV replay suggests it is long. Perils of no technology. Replaying the point. This time Djokovic holds serve. 34 minutes played and Djokovic leads 3-2.

1450 hrs IST: Thiem is thumping huge forehands and Djokovic is under pressure early on. 160-plus kmph and that coupled with the wind is proving difficult for Nole to handle. Break point comes up and the duo exchange wild forehands before switching to backhand slices. Extremely low backhand slices and in the end, Djokovic sends one long. BREAK! Thiem leads 2-1. Over on the other court, things staying on serve as Nadal leads 2-1

1440 hrs IST: Little context to Djokovic vs Thiem. This is their second meeting in three weeks. Two weeks back they played in Rome where the Serb won 6-1, 6-0. But that came after Thiem got the better of Rafael. On to Nadal then, he has dropped just 20 games this tournament and may not lose many more today as he goes forward in quest for ‘decima’.
