MUNAR 6-4 6-2 1-6 4-6 4-6 TSITSIPAS
WHAT A WIN! For the first time in his career, Tsitsipas comes back from two sets down to win. It has been some match, and all credit to Munar for his quality throughout, but in the end it’s the fifth seed who battles his way through to the second round.
Not an opponent he will have been familiar with beforehand, but still it’s a badge of honour to come from two down against anyone, and that will put him in good stead in the future.

MUNAR 6-4 6-2 1-6 4-6 3-4* TSITSIPAS
First blood, Tsitsipas! The Greek lets out an almighty roar when Munar goes long and the fifth seed ultimately converts his second break point of the game. He’s two away from a stunning comeback victory.
19:27
MUNAR 6-4 6-2 1-6 4-6 *0-0 TSITSIPAS
We have a decider! Munar didn’t give up and broke back in the sixth but Tsitsipas cranks it up another gear to break again in ninth game and then serve it out.
Munar, the world No 109, will serve first against the fifth seed in this final set.

MUNAR 6-4 6-2 1-6 2-3* TSITSIPAS
Quite the tussle so far in this fourth set, but it’s Tsitsipas who has edged in front as he looks to force the decider.

MUNAR 6-4 6-2 1-6 *0-0 TSITSIPAS
Very impressive. Tsitsipas races through that third set and we have a match that looks like it could very much go the distance. Is the fifth seed going to win a first match from two sets down? Or can Munar bounce back?
18:30
MUNAR 6-4 6-2 *1-4 TSITSIPAS
The comeback is on! No matter how well you play in two sets, in men’s grand slam tennis there is always a chance that is not enough for victory, and now Tsitsipas is on the charge with a comfortable lead in the third set.
18:07
MUNAR 6-4 6-2 0-0* TSITSIPAS
In just 32 minutes Munar has wrapped up the second set. Either we have a big upset on the cards or a mighty comeback from the fifth seed.
18:04
MUNAR 6-4 *5-2 TSITSIPAS
Big problems for Tsitsipas, who is broken to love and is now just a game away from losing the second set. Few saw this coming…
17:47
MUNAR 6-4 *2-1 TSITSIPAS
Tsitsipas certainly in trouble here. He’s now a set and a break down to the world No 109. Munar is playing out of his skin and the Greek really has to raise his game to the Spaniard’s level now.

MUNAR 6-4 1-1* TSITSIPAS
The fifth seed has a battle on his hands! Munar takes the first set 6-4 and it’s on serve in the second.
