    Well, well, well. Those expressions of emotions are suddenly reversed.

    Thiem spins around on the baseline, teeth clenched as tightly as his fist.

    Djokovic scratches his right ear with the hand holding his racquet.

    Twists and turns...

    Having said that.

    He goes long and then double faults.

    His mood changes as easily as the wi..

    Djoko has rediscovered his touch.

    Djokovic raises a one-arm clenched fist to the heavens, Thiem covers his forehead with his hand in disbelief.

    Djokovic beckons the Chatrier crowd to their feet, like a WWE wrestler strutting around the ring before implementing his finishing move.

    He's not quite at that point yet...

  8. Djokovic breaks backpublished at 14:39 British Summer Time 8 June 2019

    *Djokovic 2-6 6-3 5-7 7-5 3-4 Thiem

    Thiem attempts to lob Djoko as he came to the net but fails to get any elevation.

    Advantage Djoko.

    Thiem then manages to get a lob away in the next point but it lands a few cms long.

    Ouch!

    Djoko gestures to the crowd. The sun is shining and so is he.

    We are back on serve.

    The Austrian saves with a brilliant angled forehand that tucks up into the world number one.

    Djoko goes long 30-30.

    The Serb then comes to the net following an aggressive rally and punches a volleyed winner.

    Break point.

    15s each and then Thiem goes long with a one-handed backhand.

    Thiem is serving from the 'evil side' of the court.

    Ding ding, round two. And seconds in, Novak versus the chair umpire resumes.

    A gentle hissing follows their spat - from the crowd, not Novak actually - as the official scurries back to his perch.

    Djoko holds.

    He desperately needed that.

    *Djokovic 2-6 6-3 5-7 7-5 1-4 Thiem

    Controversy straight away.

    Umpire calls Thiem's shot is in, but Djoko disputes it. Umpire's decision stands

    Hawkeye - which isn't available - says it was out!!

    Djoko goes on to save break point anyway, and now he's got advantage.

    After a five-minute warm-up we're back under way.

    Dominic Thiem will be hoping he can wrap up victory in roughly the same amount of time...

    It's been one hour and eight minutes since we played the last point.

    Wednesday, Saj? I hope not. If it is then I've missed my flight home.

    Whatever day it is, the players return to a relieved ovation from an almost-full Chatrier.

    Whether some of the corporates are confused or not that there are two men out on court at gone 3pm I don't know...

    YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS?!

    Brollies are being popped again on Chatrier. Hopefully that doesn't explain why the players still haven't reappeared.

    A slow clap - the international sign for 'get a move on' - begins...

    There's nothing quite like a cheery, bright blue sky. Especially for a tennis fan after a rain delay.

    And here's more good news: my weather app reckons there is less than a 10% chance for the rest of the day.

    Although I don't remember it predicting that earlier rain shower when I looked this morning...
