BEDENE RETIRES (1-6, 2-6, 1-3)

Tsitsipas is into the fourth round. Bedene received a medical timeout in the first set and never looked too comfortable out there. The Greek was in great form and will be a real contender to go all the way if he continues playing like this next week. He just had far too much for Bedene.

15:12

BEDENE 1-2 TSITSIPAS* (1-6, 2-6)

Tsitsipas had two break points in the opening game, couldn't take them. This time, though, the Greek forces Bedene to find the net and he has the break in this third set. Bedene is having to play lights out tennis to even give him a chance against Tsitsipas in this form.

14:57

BEDENE 2-6 TSITSIPAS (1-6)

Tell you what, Tsitsipas is going to take some beating in this form. The Greek serves it out to love, smashing down an ace after bringing up three set points. It's a long, long way back for Bedene from here. He's been completely out of his depth so far.

14:54

BEDENE 2-5 TSITSIPAS* (1-6)

Tsitsipas has the insurance break in this second set, with Bedene sending a forehand long beyond the baseline. This is the problem for the Slovenian. He is trying to stick with Tsitsipas from the back of the court, but he is incapable of that and it's all a bit wild at the moment.

14:39

BEDENE 1-2 TSITSIPAS* (1-6)

Tsitsipas' forehand is causing Bedene all kinds of problems, with the Greek ripping a winner past the Slovenian on break point. Bedene is trying to stick with Tsitsipas from the back of the court, but that isn't really his game and every so often his range goes a bit wayward.

14:24

BEDENE 1-6 TSISTIPAS

A 27-minute set for Tsitsipas who has taken a grip of this match. It would have been even quicker than that were it not for a Bedene medical timeout and some troubles from the Greek in serving the set out, but he will be pleased with how he has started this match.

14:09

BEDENE 0-4 TSITSIPAS*

Another break. This is already looking pretty desperate for Bedene, whose only chance is to try and be more aggresive from the baseline, but that isn't really in the former British number two's game. Tsitsipas in complete control. This could be a swift one.

14:03

BEDENE 0-2 TSITSIPAS*

It's a good start for Tsitsipas. The Greek got off to a fast start against Cuevas in the second round and never looked back, and he's off to a similarly fast start here, opening up a two-game lead in the opening set. He's serving so well.
