    Hold that thought.

    He's really rolling now, Roberto Bautista Agut, picking out winners at will.

    A forehand that clips the corner between tramline and baseline is the pick of the bunch. Djokovic stranded.

    Djokovic pins Bautista Agut on the baseline, but the Spaniard just won't disappear... eventually the former world number one's deep backhand is just too strong and the Spaniard goes long.

    One saved.

    But no such luck for Djokovic off the next break point. Bautista Agut takes it.

    And he saves the second break point, too. Bautista Agut cracking the net from deep.

    But the Spaniard immediately scrambles a third, a superb return that flummoxes his Serbian opponent.

    Zverev 6-2 4-6 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 Dzumhur

    Alexander Zverev, the second seed, lives to fight another day after seeing off the formidable challenge of Dazir Dzumhir in five sets.

    The German trailed by two sets to one, and looked in serious trouble in the fourth set, but came back to take the next two sets and win after a gruelling three hours and 54 minutes.

    He will play either Lucas Pouille or Karen Khachanov in the fouirth round.

    Magic, just when he needed it most. Djokovic reaches into his box of tricks and pulls out the softest of backhand drop shots. It almost stops dead on the clay.

    Djokovic somehow forced a backhand over the net while backpedaling in slow motion, arms flailing like something out of the Matrix.

    But Bautista Agut takes the point, and goes 0-30 up.

    But Djokovic takes the second.

    The first one is missed, way wide off the normal wand-like racquet of Novak Djokovic.

    White shirt off, black shirt on. Djokovic decides a change of shirt is the key to turning this match back in his favour.

    Perhaps he feels like it will turn him into a Marvel superhero like his pal Serena?

    Djokovic is still looking furious at the beginning of this third set.

    And he's back to the black polo top...
