*Sinner 6-1 6-3 4-4 Rublev
Andrey Rublev looked down and out an hour ago but to be fair to the Russian he's properly upped his level. Neither player has given the other a sniff on their serve and as we come to crunch time in the third Rublev gets out of a game by surviving an epic rally at 40-30 after walloping a cross-court forehand winner.

Andrey Rublev pumps his fist after he slams a forehand to go from 0-30 down to 30-30. I reckon that's the first time he's lucked thrilled this evening.

Boom and boom. Two aces from Sinner help him hold to love for what? The fourth time tonight?
Rublev's not getting any chances on the top seed's serve. I wonder what he can do to switch things up. He looks out of ideas.

The umpire comes down from her chair to check on a first serve. She looks to find the mark, checks it twice, and then calls it in - which has Rublev shaking his head.
That's the only real bit of drama in the first game of the third as Sinner holds to 15.

When I saw today's schedule I thought we were going to be in for a real evening treat on Court Philippe Chatrier. Maybe even a five-setter.
Jannik Sinner's had other plans. He sneaks up on you, he never really looks that dominant during the rallies, but somehow most points end up going in his favour.
Blink and suddenly you've missed him go two sets up.

Wonderful tennis from Jannik Sinner. Rublev should have this rally finished but Sinner chases the ball down, hits a brill backhand, and then ends things off with a passing winner at the net.

Boom. Sinner gallops to his hold by getting over the ball and dispatching a brutal forehand down the line. I think he got air-time when he struck it.
