    *Nadal 4-2 Chung

    But the world number 170 cannot save the second.

    A long rally, but it's Chung Hyeon who drives a backhand narrowly wide and Rafael Nadal gets the breakthrough.

    Nadal 3-2 Chung*

    Right, it's on serve so far this third-round tussle.

    Nadal draws Chung into the net and then looks for space down the channel, the South Korean flicks a racquet at it but can only divert it on to the blue surface.

    0-30... although Chung will challenge an "out" call. It's out, just!

    Chung had the open court for a winner but he almost hit it too hard. If he had pulled out about 10% it would have been a clean winner. Nadal then had exactly the same shot Chung just had and played it perfectly.

    Nadal 3-2 Chung*

    That's better from Rafa - a rip-roaring forehand that skips beyond Chung before he can blink.

    The world number two follows up with a thumping ace to hold.

    *Nadal 2-2 Chung

    It feels like Rafael Nadal is still finding his range slightly. A few wayward forehands from the Spaniard early on - he's not had much tennis this week.

    Chung Hyeon does him a favour by wrapping a backhand into the tape and watching it drop agonisingly on his own side. 30-15

    *Nadal 2-2 Chung

    Good serving form from the South Korean, but he cranks a forehand wide after a fierce Rafael Nadal return. No bother, Chung slaps down an ace to hold comfortably.

    Chung Hyeon wipes his goggles on his shirt, it's sweaty out there on Ashe.

    The 23-year-old flops a backhand into the net to make it 15-15.

    That was incredible movement by Nadal. He was able to hit forehands from almost every part of the court. He did it four times in succession before finally hitting a backhand.

    Neat work from Rafael Nadal, wrong-footing the South Korean with a disguised backhand to hold.

    *Nadal 1-1 Chung

    Excellent work from Chung Hyeon, scampering across to meet a grunting Rafael Nadal forehand and making the Spaniard play by flicking it just over the tape. A slightly surprised Nadal volleys it into the gauze. A good hold from Chung.

    Nadal 1-0 Chung*

    Loose from the world number two, lumping a groundstroke way beyond the baseline.

    Back to deuce, and then a skidding serve rattles Nadal's frame to give Chung the advantage.

    Nadal 1-0 Chung*

    Rafael Nadal dabs a backhand into the guts of the net as Chung Hyeon scrambles back for 30-30. The South Korean gets the Spaniard scurrying along the baseline but the pats a forehand into the tramlines. Break point Nadal.

    Nadal 1-0 Chung*

    How many towels does Rafa need? He's like a walking launderette, handing a fistful over to a ball boy at his end of the court.

    Chung Hyeon gets on the board for the first time with a leaping serve down the T to make it 15-15.
