Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage from the second of the Madrid Masters semi-finals between world number two Novak Djokovic and Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 6-1 - GAME, SET & MATCH - Djokovic serves out the match to love with an ace, Bellucci checking the mark before accepting the call, and the Serb extending his unbeaten run to 31 matches and setting up the final that everyone wants to see against Rafael Nadal tomorrow.

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 5-1 - BREAK - Bellucci looks exhausted now as he concedes his serve once again with a backhand into the net to leave Djokovic serving for the match and a place in the final against world number one Rafael Nadal

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 4-1 - Djokovic somehow manages to get a forehand back despite a wicked bounce on the ball and the resulting height is enough to put Bellucci off as he hits into the net. It brings Djojkovic a game point and he goes on to hold when Bellucci fails to find the court with a backhand. The Serb now is just two games away from the final

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 3-1 - Bellucci does well to recover from 15-30 down and hold and keep the pressure at least vaguely on Djokovic

Bellucci is having an injury time-out during the change of ends to treat that left thigh after turning his ankle earlier in the second set but it doesn't look as though it will prevent him from seeing out this match

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 3-0 - A couple of errors from Djokovic hands Bellucci a life-line and a break back point, but the Brazilian fails to take advantage of it when he hits a backhand into the net after a very lengthy rally and Djokovic goes on to hold once again to consolidate the brea

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 2-0 - BREAK - The Serb earns himself a break point with a forehand that lands smack on the line. Bellucci manages to save it with some outstanding play that culminates in a forehand winner down the line from the Brazilian but Djokovic gets a second chance and this time he gets it when another punishing rally ends with Bellucci sending a tired forehand into the bottom of the net

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 1-0 - Djokovic gets the final set off to a perfect start, easing through a comfortable service hold before skipping back to the chair for the change of ends, Bellucci grimacing as he misses another forehand. The Brazilian did turn his ankle a couple of game ago and although it does not appear to be affecting his movement too much, it is clearly affecting him mentally

DJOKOVIC 4-6 6-4 - SET - Bellucci's string breaks in the middle of a point, eventually drawing the error from the Brazilian to hand Djokovic two set points. And now it is the Serb who can do no wrong as he somehow gets up to a drop shot that catches the top of the tape from Bellucci, before putting away a shoulder-height forehand volley, burying it in the open court to level up the match. Can Bellucci bounce back or will Djokovic maintain this momentum?

DJOKOVIC 4-6 5-4 - Djokovic jogs back to the chair after holding to 15 when Bellucci fails to get his forehand return of serve back into play and the Brazilian will have to serve to stay in this second set after the change of ends. Now we will see what the Brazilian has about him, can he hold his nerve?

DJOKOVIC 4-6 4-4 - A decent riposte by Bellucci, who holds without any drama this time, to level up with Djokovic and ensure that the pressure is kept firmly on the Serb

DJOKOVIC 4-6 4-3 - Djokovic is left shaking his head after racing up to the net to emphatically put away a high forehand winner only to touch the net with his racquet on the follow through and concede the point. A forehand into the net straight after allows Bellucci to level at 30-30 and the Serb has to dig deep to go on and hold from deuce when Bellucci sends a backhand wide down the line

DJOKOVIC 4-6 3-3 - BREAK - Djokovic finally wins a cross court battle, forcing Bellucci to go long after a serie of huge forehand wins and he goes on to set up two more break back points. And this time only one is needed, as Bellucci sends a backhand long down the line. We're back on serve in this second set

DJOKOVIC 4-6 2-3 - A clearly frustrated Djokovic slaps a forehand winner down the line off a shorter ball to hold and at least keep some pressure on Bellucci but unless the Brazilian suddenly collapses it doesn't look as though the Serb will be able to get back into this clash

DJOKOVIC 4-6 1-3 - Bellucci can do no wrong out on court today as he frames a ball and still sees it challenge Djokovic, the Brazilian going on to hold with an off-forehand winner across court from the middle of the court. Djokovic is putting in the effort, he's not collapsing out there, but Bellucci is simply playing too well for him to get a foot-hold in this match

DJOKOVIC 4-6 1-2 - BREAK - A sorry attempt at a two-handed backhand drop shot from Djokovic drops short into the net to hand Bellucci three break points of his own. But only one is needed as the Serb finally breaks down after a series of huge forehands from the Brazilian ends up with Djokovic smacking a forehand long. It's a long way back for Djokovic now and his unbeaten run lots set to come to a end in Madrid

DJOKOVIC 4-6 1-1 - The first few signs of Bellucci's outstanding play fading as Djokovic earns three break points. The first is saved by the Brazilian with an inch-perfect backhand drop shot that stops dead as soon as it lands, while he saves the second with a cracking first serve that Djokovic can only return into the net. The third is also snatched away from Djokovic with an ace, and Bellucci goes on to hold with a forehand passing shot winner down the line off a mid-court ball

DJOKOVIC 4-6 1-0 - Djokovic continues to look a little jaded as he battles through to a service hold for the opening game of the second set, forcing the Brazilian back behind the baseline and eventually drawing the backhand error from Bellucci, who hits long

DJOKOVIC 4-6 - SET - Even Djokovic can't help but smile when a ferociously hit forehand from Bellucci hits the top of the tape, bounces about a metre in the air and then lands on the Serb's side of the net to earn the Brazilian a first set point. And it's a point that he takes full advantage of as he peppers the Djokovic baseline, eventually forcing the error from the Serb, who hits long

DJOKOVIC 4-5 - The Serb manages to extend this opening set by at least one more game as he follows an ace out wide with an unreturnable serve out to the opposite wing. Bellucci will have to show some nerve now to serve this set out, albeit after the change of ends
