Nadal 6-1 6-2 5-3 De Minaur*
Rafa watches a high ball drop out of the Wimbledon sky, and hammers it down on the full toss with serious venom.
Alex de Minaur is still running... it's like he's being put through the bleep test by the Spaniard, but Nadal, seemingly not getting beyond a gentle jog, is always there to meet the youngster's response.
He holds.

Oh, that's how to save match point!
Hsieh pushes Simona Halep to the left before smacking a backhand winner to her right.
Deuce.
Halep 6-3 4-6 5-4 Hsieh*
Another superb angled winner goes racing past Simona Halep from Hsieh Su-wei's racquet, but a wonky forehand puts Halep 15-30 up.
Some brilliant defence from Hsieh Su-wei but a backhand swipe drifts long, and Halep has match point...

Bella: On paper, a 32-year-old shouldn't be running a 19-year-old ragged but Rafa Nadal is no ordinary 32yo, such immense fitness
*Nadal 6-1 6-2 4-3 De Minaur
A sigh from Nadal, he rolls his head back and holds his brow after a forehand rides the net tape and trickles back down on his side.
Alex de Minaur is sticking around.
Halep 6-3 4-6 5-4 Hsieh*
Oh! An outrageous cross-court swipe from Hsieh Su-wei gives her another break point...
And she comes to the net and swipes a winner right onto the line!
We go on...
*Halep 6-3 4-6 5-3 Hsieh
Hsieh Su-wei conjures two furious winners up to take a 0-30 lead, before Simona Halep nails first serve.
However, a backhand into the net hands Hsieh two break points, but some terrifc offence from Halep closes that door.
Deuce.
Nadal 6-1 6-2 4-2 De Minaur*
Alex de Minaur really does run for every ball, he must be exhausted. Rafael Nadal is pushing and pulling him around the court but the Aussie seems happy to do shuttles all afternoon.
He puts the brakes on after just missing out on a deft Nadal drop volley.
The Spaniard holds. He's two games away.

It really is a terrific drop shot that Hsieh Su-wei has up her sleeve.
Simona Halep chases it down but ends up stranded right in front of the net as Hsieh slaps a winner beyond her.
She holds to 15, and Halep is going to have to try and serve this one out.

*Nadal 6-1 6-2 3-2 De Minaur
Tekkers! De Minaur volleys a ball back over the net after a serve fault with his left foot. Caught that sweetly - has he got an English connection? Get him to Russia quick...
Unfortunately, his football skills can't help the young Australian on the tennis court.
Rafa breaks.
Nadal breaks in third set
Nadal 6-1 6-2 2-2 De Minaur*
Alex de Minaur has his baseball cap back to front like he's channeling Bart Simpson.
Ay caramba! That took him by surprise... a string snapping mid-point, and the Aussie quickly reaches for a fresh racquet.
That' the biggest "come on" we've heard so far as De Minaur unleashes a thumping forehand with his new weapon to take the point.
He can't back it up. A fifth double of the match. Break point Nadal...
*Halep 6-3 4-6 4-2 Hsieh

Back to you, Simona...
Halep 6-3 4-6 4-1 Hsieh*
Simona Halep races through her latest service game, and a tiring Hsieh Su-wei spins in mid-air and flaps a backhand into the net.
We've had 12 breaks of serve in this match. Surely we can't be set for any more?

The number two seed quickly accelerates to a hold. It remains on serve in this third set.
*Halep 6-3 4-6 3-1 Hsieh
It feels like Simona Halep has wriggled clear now.
