Novak Djokovic saves one set point wonderfully but the second belongs to the Spanish bull at the other end.

Djokovic is off target with a return, they return to the chairs. Mop them down, puff them up and cherish them.

A right pair of rascals. We go to the fourth.

Two set points Nadal....

Jonathan Jurejko
BBC Sport at Roland Garros

Midnight in Paris. Wasn't that an Owen Wilson film? Think it was.

Something to do with the Roaring Twenties and the Paris arts scene.

Never mind Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway - us 21st Century folk have Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

Icons of our generation.

Djokovic looks like he's resigned to his fate in the third set here, but the fourth is going to be very interesting.

Djokovic holds to love. All about the Nadal service games now and whether he can close out this key third set.

You just know we're going five though. Has to happen. Will happen. Bound to happen.

According to social media, some at Roland Garros are a bit cold for this late night extravaganza. Blankets are out, some are going in for a warm.

They'd not hack Stoke away.

Djokovic has not managed the transitional shots well. Nadal is doing such a good job of drawing Djokovic forward, but nobody saw this coming. It looked like Djokovic had found the key but it's changed again. This match is so unpredictable.

Back and forth we swing. Suddenly the arrows being fired at Novak Djokovic are posing him a headache. He scratches his head briefly between points in this latest Nadal hold.

The Spaniard gets it done with little fuss having been 0-15 down.

I think Nadal realised that he needed to take control of the point early on. He's tried to add a bit more weight onto the baseline shots that he's hitting. He's finding a way to add 5% here and there and it's made a big difference in this set.

Amy Walkers: This is not quite the relaxing pre bedtime routine I’m used to. But I’m here for it.

Some say you should meditate. Or consider the good parts of your day. Maybe have a milky drink. Instead we're watching a slugfest on clay. What is wrong with us Amy?

What a ridiculous match.

Out.

Cross-court pass has too much beef on it. Novak Djokovic looks at the clay on his way to his chair. He got himself back to the mountain top but is one again looking up.

Absurd forehand winner down the tramlines from Rafa Nadal. It's 30-30 on the Novak serve.

DOUBLE FAULT. Now then...

If you saw the last James Bond you'll know Daniel Craig didn't make it. He bit of more than he can chew in the end.

So there's a vacancy. If Nadal hangs the racquet up soon I'm all for him getting the slot. All action, all heart and he'd probably look swell in a sports car.

"We are witnessing why these two men are so great."

The words of John McEnroe on Eurosport.

Nadal is racing from left to right to cover court. The ball comes at him like a rocket and he takes all the fizz off it with a deft cross-court volley. Insane touch.

Not so insane from Novak, his drop shot hits the net.

Game.

Nadal is getting a bit more tetchy out here. He's obviously being able to channel it but that steely side to him is starting to come into play.

Rafa has won 90 points, Novak 84. Nothing in it.

A double fault from Nadal draws groans and Djokovic pushes on to force break point. Nadal found the net with a volley and now it's pressure on his serve.

The rally breaks out, Djokovic finds the net. The left fist of Nadal is clenched. Deuce.

Nadal has nailed every single smash. You know he's going to win the point whereas when Djokovic goes for it, you almost watch it from behind a pillow. It is the weakest area of his game.
