GAME, SET AND MATCH! THIEM 6-3 4-6 6-2 7-5 CUEVAS
Thiem has got there in the end, battling against a plucky Cuevas, and sometimes himself. But the 2018 finalist is through to the second week for the fourth year in a row. Three three-setters for the Austrian so far, which will be of concern though.

The momentum has swung back in the direction of Cuevas. Thiem seems powerless to stop the onslaught from the Uruguayan and some of his errors from the second set are back. He's serving to stay in the fourth...

Cuevas is going nowhere, breaking back in an epic game. He hit some spectacular winners there - a lob, who shots right into the corner and he's back level at 3-3!

Thiem sees his first set point chance come and go. Cuevas lives to fight another game in the third set but it's the Austrian's to lose.

If this third set wasn't already Thiem's to lose, it certainly is now as Cuevas pushes a forehand long to allow the Austrian to move into a double-break lead.

Thiem is looking a lot better in the third set, though he hasn't quite hit the heights he scaled in the second. He lead 3-1 and is good value for it.

Just as in the first set, being broken has brought new life to Thiem's play. The first two break point chances he crafts are saved but the third is taken with a wonderful sliced backhand!

THIEM 6-3 2-3 CUEVAS
Thiem looks to make inroads on the Cuevas serve but unforced errors cost him and the Uruguayan holds. The second set has been far more even than the first so far.

Cuevas grinds out a creditable hold in the first game of the second set but Thiem showed no signs of it affecting his flow on his own serve.

THIEM 6-3 CUEVAS
It was a sloppy start to the set from Dominic Thiem but he's since stamped his dominance over Cuevas. The veteran saves three more set points but an ace on the next one seals it for Thiem.

Cuevas stems the Thiem tide and saves a set point from the Austrian. But last year's finalist will now have chance to close out the first on his own serve.
