    No he can't! Double fault at the worst of moments sends us back to deuce then he fires long to hand Jannik Sinner a fifth break point.

    The Australian saves it again with effective use of the serve and volley.

    Back to deuce we go!

    A rare miss from Jannik Sinner on Tristan Schoolkate's second serve saves break point.

    He does exactly the same on the next point and Schoolkate has a second game point. Can he get it over the line this time?

    *Sinner 4-6 6-4 6-1 0-0 Schoolkate

    That's more like it from the defending champion.

    Jannik Sinner controls the point from the baseline before dragging Tristan Schoolkate forward with the drop shot. The Australian gets there, but for once it's Sinner who comes out on top of the rapid back-and-forth hitting at the net.

    World number one Sinner is in cruise control now.

    What Jannik Sinner does, he does remarkably well, when he's rallying from the baseline he can produce so much force behind the ball and his strokes are so compact and consistent that it's really sustainable.

    The impressive thing is Tristan Schoolkate is going to continue to come and ask the question, he's just going to have to take a little bit more initiative as he tries to make headway. He can't just sit back and rally with Jannik Sinner, that's not going to give him any success.

    But the Australian stands firm to stop the rot, holding with a booming forehand winner. He shakes a clenched fist and asks his home crowd for more noise.

    The world number 173 is going to need every ounce of support he can get.

    Another comfortable hold for Jannik Sinner and while he's keeping his celebrations fairly low-key, he's got more swagger in his step and he shakes his racquet towards his team with a little smile.
