TSONGA 7-6(6) 6-4 6-4 BELLUCCI: Tsonga wins! Much of the contest was merely a formality, with both final two sets conceeded with the breaks in the very first game of each of them, but Tsonga guarded against his fabled mental walkabouts and routinely booked his place in the third round.

TSONGA 7-6(6) 6-4 5-4 BELLUCCI: Judging by the fact that he serve and volleyed through the entire game, Bellucci seemed to be attempting to end his own misery as soon as possible. But even with his net-allergic opponent permanently planted in his least favourite part of the court, Tsonga still missed a series of returns and forced himself to serve it out.

SET - TSONGA 7-6(6) 6-4 BELLUCCI: By the end of the set, Tsonga was happily serve and volleying after almost every point; such was the quality of Bellucci's returning. It was a set won after the very first game, but diligently seen out by the tenth seed.

TSONGA 7-6(6) 5-4 BELLUCCI: A peach of a half volley pick-up from Bellucci helps him to his fourth consecutive service game. Bellucci's sevice percentage for the set reads 50%, which is a near-miracle, all things considered.
