GAME, SET, MATCH... DJOKOVIC! Gaston 6-7 (7), 4-6 Medvedev: An excellent match that was tighter than the scoreline suggests ends with the world number two taking his place in the semi-finals of the Paris Masters!
20:21
GASTON 4-5 MEDVEDEV* (6-7): Fantastic hands from Gaston on game point and he has asked the question of Medvedev - will he be able to serve out this match?
20:18
*GASTON 3-5 MEDVEDEV (6-7): Some big serving from Medvedev in that service game and he moves within just one game of a place in the semi-finals. Pressure back on Gaston...
20:14
GASTON 3-4 MEDVEDEV* (6-7): Three games in a row for Gaston and all of a sudden there are some unforced errors flowing off the forehand side of the world number two again!
20:11
*GASTON 2-4 MEDVEDEV (6-7): Break back! He couldn't, could he? Just as it looked like Gaston was finished in this match, he has found his groove again! Sealed with an overhead at the net!
20:04
GASTON 1-4 MEDVEDEV* (6-7): Gaston gives himself a lifeline in this second set, but he looks rather weary now. Plus, Medvedev looks to have tightened up his game. Not so many errors now.
20:00
*GASTON 0-4 MEDVEDEV (6-7): An excellent service game from Medvedev who is just two games away from a place in the semi-finals of the Paris Masters. This might be it for Gaston.
19:56
GASTON 0-3 MEDVEDEV* (6-7): Double break! Gaston looks to have lost energy and Medvedev is doing a much better job of dictating points and staying in rallies from the back of the court.
19:52
*GASTON 0-2 MEDVEDEV (6-7): A love hold and there were a lot of free points in that service game for Medvedev. Gaston is going to have to go back into his bag of tricks to get into this one!
19:50
GASTON 0-1 MEDVEDEV* (6-7): Break! Medvedev edges ahead at the start of the second set and that game proved that the Russian is now more willing to come to the net to combat Gaston.
19:43
FIRST SET, MEDVEDEV! Gaston 6-7 (7) Medvedev: What a set of tennis! There was barely anything between the pair in that set, but Medvedev just about edges it. Gaston is playing out of his skin and still couldn't get the better of the Russian!
19:36
19:33
GASTON 6-6 MEDVEDEV: Incredible tennis! The point of the match was at 30-0 when Medvedev had Gaston on strings, but he came out on top with an overhead smash! Into a tie-break!
19:29
*GASTON 5-6 MEDVEDEV: An excellent hold of serve from Medvedev and the momentum has changed entirely. The Russian is now just one game away from taking the first set!
19:24
GASTON 5-5 MEDVEDEV*: Break back! Incredible! Gaston had THREE set points at 40-0, but he got tight and Medvedev fights back to break back and we're on serve again!
19:16
*GASTON 5-4 MEDVEDEV: Break! A wayward forehand gave Gaston the first break point of the match and then Medvedev double faulted with the home crowd on his back! Gaston will serve for the first set.
19:13
GASTON 4-4 MEDVEDEV*: Still waiting for the first break of serve in this opening serve. Gaston doesn't have the biggest serve, but he's making good use of the serve out wide against Medvedev!
19:09
*GASTON 3-4 MEDVEDEV: Another comfortable hold of serve from the world number two. Medvedev is serving 83% on his first serve and that is making things tricky for Gaston.
19:07
GASTON 3-3 MEDVEDEV*: Very impressive from Gaston. There was an incredible pick-up at the net following a net cord from the Frenchman in that game. He is so sharp right now!
19:02
*GASTON 2-3 MEDVEDEV: Some good serving from the world number two and we're still on serve in this opening set. Can Gaston get a read on that serve?
