SET! - DJOKOVIC 6-4 6-3 MANNARINO. Novak swaggers to his chair as he claims another easy hold to take a real stranglehold on the match.
DJOKOVIC 6-4 5-3 MANNARINO. A morale-boosting hold for Adrian - but it won't change to outlook for this set. The Frenchman is forced to deuce from 40-0 up but Nole can't make his opponent nervy. The Serb is frustrated with himself as he doesn't press for the set point, but he can shrug that off as he is about to serve for it next.
