Wow. What a match. All about the epics these two, but can Nole go on and win it? And will Murray get out of the group? If he does he'd probably face Federer next. All massive matches. Let me know what you think on Twitter @Reda_Eurosport. Cheers and see you for Berdych-Tsonga later, around 7.45pm.

MURRAY 6-4 3-6 5-7 - GAME SET AND MATCH DJOKOVIC! Match point Djokovic as Murray's backhand return drops long, and he takes it as Murray pumps a poor backhand drive long. A weak way to end a cracking match, Djokovic takes charge of the group with a stunning win while Murray must beat Tsonga.
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 5-6 - Djokovic serving for the match, a big smash setting him on his way. Then a baseline battle, and it's Djokovic's turn to go long. And Nole nets a two-hander on the run, and it swings in Murray's favour! And two break-back points as Murray smashes clear of Nole after the Serb clipped net! Incredible!! The first is saved as Nole smashes clear - mighty serve that Murray nets for deuce.

MURRAY 6-4 3-6 5-6 - BREAK! Murray is finding his winners again but Djokovic levels with a couple of smashes, the second beyond the Scot. Too close to call again between these two. Some dufus yells out and gets a death-stare from Murray, who nets his next follow-up. Annoying, chuck him out. And his next drive lands long for two break points!! Deary me. First is saved with an ace down the middle, his ninth. But he goes long on the next follow-up and it's a break!!
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 5-5 - First point to Nole as a Murray winner lands just long, he was stranded too! Level as a super crosscourt pass from Murray leaves Nole for dead. Horribly long first serve now for Djokovic and the next rally sees him go long! 15-30 in Murray's favour! But level as Murray almost meets a Nole drop shot but, staggering, sends it long. And a cracking volley at the net brings up game point Nole, taken as Murray spins a forehand wide.
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 5-4 - Murray drops a point to 15-15 as a backhand strikes net and lands wide. And a monster return catches him off guard, backhanding wide, and now Nole has a sniff!! But Murray sets up a rush to net on shot three, which he passes clear with a cool volley. Now Djoko hits long and Murray has hold point - first serve is wide... second isn't great but Nole's second forehand lands wide. Djokovic suddenly serving to stay in the match!!

MURRAY 6-4 3-6 4-4 - BREAK! HawkEye comes good for Murray as it shows Nole went wide! It looked wide and Murray is right back in it! Stunning!!
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 3-4 - First blood to Djokovic on serve but he goes long next and it's level. Murray works the backhand before cracking a vicious forehand winner that Nole meets but with a mis-hit long! 15-30. Half a chance Murray, but an ACE. Challenged... WIDE! Overruled, second serve. A millimetre in that. And two break points as a thrilling rally sees Nole crack first to go long! The first is saved as Murray hits wide, he's angry with himself. Now Nole goes wide, Murray challenges....
-
The stats are very even - Murray with 8 aces to Nole's 4 but the Serb winning fractionally more points off serve, and getting fractionally more first serves in. All about the key points it seems.

Stones. Better. Can Murray break back or has Nole got his number? Tweet me @Reda_Eurosport with your predictions.

MURRAY 6-4 3-6 3-4 - Successful Murray hustle to net sees Djokovic flick long for game ppint, which is taken as a forehand bullet forces Nole long with his backhand. Another tough hold of the Murray serve.
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 2-4 - Just shy of two hours now as Murray nets a forehand drive from deep. He's not playing well now, having done so well in the first set. Nole then pumps an attempted winner long, Murray stranded too so an escape there. ACE. (Applause). A fantastic point sees Nole level to 30 after some flashing strikes from all angles across the baseline, and break point as Murray nets a forehand! Saved as Nole nets off second serve. Deuce.
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 2-4 - Murray somehow stays alive after a Nole smash, with the Serb slipping his next forehand wide for 15-15. Murray then flicks what could have been a super winner, but it goes long. Shame. Then more bad luck as a wicked return lands a centimetre wide. And Djokovic holds to 15 as his diagonal backhand is spun long by Murray.
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 2-3 - Advantage Murray once more as he meets Nole's flicked return with interest, and finally he holds after contstructing the point to set up an approach shot passed to the left. Massive hold but he needs to break back!
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 1-3 - Now it's another break point as a weak Nole return is met with a weaker backhand to net. "Come on Murray" yells one of his fellow Scots to my rear and it seems to help as Nole goes long after a thrilling baseline exchange! Massive serve down the middle for game point, but the next point sees him land one long. Another counterpunching rally resumes with Nole netting his backhand, but he flicks a super drive wide of Murray for deuce again.
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 1-3 - Murray with a weak mis-hit wide off his first service point here. He needs to stop the rot, his shoulders are dropping a touch. And he nets under no pressure while trying to pass a stranded Djokovic for 0-30, although he pulls one back with a smash that a sliding Nole can only backhand to net. Nole pumps a winner down the line wide, he challenges - call stands. 30-30. Fine winner from Murray into space on the right, and he should hold but drop-volleys to net with Nole prone!
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 1-3 - Murray dominates the opening rally on Nole's serve as he crushes away a forehand winner after it dropped to him off the net. But a weak forehand of his own hits string and it's 15-15. Then he returns long off second serve. A widening rally again favours Nole as Murray nets, and Nole holds with a forehand winner off the right side of the baseline. Murray challenges but it was in.

MURRAY 6-4 3-6 1-2 - BREAK! Nole edges ahead on the Murray serve and Murray then goes long for 0-30! And now three break points as again Murray swings one long from deep! The architect of his own downfall here! He almost double faults away the break but just keeps it in, and wins the next point as Nole nets a backhand. But Murray goes long again with his follow-up backhand and Djokovic has taken charge of the match!
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 1-1 - A backhand exchange sees Nole go long but a good challenge sees it overturned, clipped white for sure. Point replayed at 15-0, but Murray wins it as he stands up a return that an off-kilter Nole spins wide. He makes up for it with a smash well beyond Murray, while the next point - which Murray had dictated - goes to Nole as the Scot pumps one long. Poor, as he had him on the run. Nole holds with a cool forehand that almost forces a magic Murray winner that drops just wide.
-
MURRAY 6-4 3-6 1-0 - Final set, Murray to serve initially. ACE. Promising start. ACE again, but Djokovic challenges - yes. Nole returns several yards long now, and does so again, and Murray holds to love as Nole repeats the trick.
