Nishikori now has the trainer out. Doesn't look like anything serious – he is just getting a few bandages.

DJOKOVIC 6-2 2-3 – BREAK!! Nishikori has taken advantage of more sloppy play from Djokovic to break to 30. An incredibly wild forehand from the Serb goes long and seals the break for the Japanese player. Djokovic's play has gone all over the place and Nishkori just needs to stay conservative and keep the ball in play.

DJOKOVIC 6-2 2-2 – Nishikori does superb to survive a tough game. He needed to save a break point but the best point came when it was 40-40 and both players were close to the net. Djokovic had a few chances to finishes off the point but Nishikori showed great feet and movement and dug out a cross court winner from nowhere.

DJOKOVIC 6-2 2-1 – Djokovic digs out a hold after being 15-40 down. He is clearly not 100 per cent and at time his body language makes this perfectly clear. He is still firing some good winners but it is all a bit messy now.
