    The biggest cheer of the night and Halys punches the air.

    Great defence at the net from the Frenchman and he puts away a winner. Great stuff.

    A sniff of a break? More than that - it's 15-40. 

    He's done it. His backhand hits the net and bobbles over. He will take that.

    Times tennis correspondent Barry Flatman: "That was a very good game from the young Frenchman. I would imagine he will want to get back on court almost immediately after this - against a player more at his level - to show what he's learnt having played at a much higher level today."

    *Djokovic 6-1 3-2 Halys

    An ace from Quentin Halys and Djokovic responds with a powerful forehand winner down the line.

    The Serb is relaxed as he heads a ball back to the ball boy - to the amusement of the crowd. He is less amused as he misses down the line to give Halys 15-30.

    Halys is unable to take advantage as he clumsily nets but a smash does give him game point after another big first serve.

    Djokovic forces deuce with a backhand winner but advantage Halys as he puts away a volley. A second deuce after Djokovic's slam-dunk smash but Halys is fighting and has another game point as he drives a forehand into the corner.

    A third game of the match as Halys booms an ace down the centre. Fair play.

    "This could get embarrassing. I'm not sure Halys will win another game. Djokovic is producing a bit more showmanship in his matches and now the crowds are starting to appreciate the greatness now."

    Djokovic 6-1 2-0 Halys*

    Halys just wants it to end.

    An ace down the centre and Djokovic is 40-0 on his serve.

    Another big serve and Halys goes long.

    If this was a boxing match, the towel would be in.

    It is relentless.

    The French wildcard has shown some flashes of brilliance but, like many would be, he is way out of his depth.

    Djokovic angles away a high volley to set up another break point and he wins that as Halys goes wide.

    Don't expect a shock here.
