Coming on the approach, he hammers a forehand deep into the corner on Nuno Borges backhand and although the 29-year-old puts in a good scramble, all he can do is get his frame on it.

Borges was hanging in a little at the back end of the tie-break. How will he respond?

Not a vintage performance from the defending champion - he was error-strewn again and found Borges a constant thorn in his side - but it's another win.
