Jeff Tarango
Former professional tennis player on BBC Radio 5 LiveHe's had plenty of chance to work on his drop shot and that was his first really clean one. Is he starting to feel more comfortable out there and play his real game?

Medvedev 5-7 3-6 4-3 Nadal*
At 15-0 up, Medvedev sends an ace down the T. No call from the line judge but Nadal challenges it, and Hawk Eye proves he was right to do so. Very much out.
A magical sliced drop shot bounces in and then spins away from Nadal's racquet and out to bring up 40-15 and then he holds with a serve-and-volley.
A delightful game from Daniil Medvedev.

Medvedev fights his way into a 30-0 lead on Nadal's serve. First, the Spaniard forehands into the net, before Medvedev caresses a cross-court drop shot over the net. Beautiful.

A little pump of the fist as Nadal smashes down a winner for 30-0, his first serve a little off in this game though.
Medvedev pulls a point back but Nadal gets on top of the next rally, flicking home at the net. A few more lengthy rallies creeping in now as both begin to tire.
Another overhead volley to hold.
