    It was a good statement from Carlos Alcaraz to win that service game to love.

    Incredible agility to get that winner.

    Damir Dzumhur will be thinking about this next service game. He has given the crowd something to cheer.

    Carlos Alcaraz had 15 unforced errors across the opening two sets but already has 17 to his name in this third.

    Clearly frustrated by letting that opportunity to break slip away, Alcaraz holds to love.

    Over to Damir Dzumhur to serve for the set.

    Carlos Alcaraz has not been as decisive as he was in the earlier stages of this match and the opportunity goes begging.

    The Spaniard fires into the net for deuce and then comes up short with a attempted drop shot to allow Damir Dzumhur to hold.

    Alcaraz will serve to stay in the set.

    We're seeing Carlos Alcaraz in a lot more defensive positions.

    The crowd are really admiring how Damir Dzumhur is taking Alcaraz on.

    The tension is building up.

    Damir Dzumhur is not backing down. The Bosnian puts his full weight behind a double-handed shot to get it back to deuce.

    Another shout of "vamos" from Carlos Alcaraz can only mean one thing... Dzumhur will need to save a third break point.

    Carlos Alcaraz sends in long and we go back to deuce.

    Oh my.

    A couple of drop shots and then a volley winner at the net from Alcaraz earns another look at break point.

    A steely look and a pump of the fist from Carlos Alcaraz as he sends a winner into the corner.

    I think there is more clarity in what Damir Dzumhur is trying to do.

    He's having a lot more impact and giving Carlos Alcaraz a lot more to think about.

    Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 4-3 Alcaraz*

    Can Damir Dzumhur build on that break to take full control of this set?

    He looks confident. A lovely sliced backhand forces Carlos Alcaraz into the net.

    It feels like this crowd has really warmed to the underdog too - Dzumhur is getting huge cheers with every point he collects.

    An overhead volley puts the hold in sight but a return from the outside of the net post ends up long.

    What a way to get the break point.

    Wow, I did not see that coming.

    You have to give Damir Dzumhur his due, he has somehow found a way to get his tennis firing.

    Damir Dzumhur gets it done.

    He deserves that.

    The Bosnian has worked hard against the odds - Carlos Alcaraz - this evening.

    *Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 3-3 Alcaraz

    It's in these clutch moments that Carlos Alcaraz really shows his class.

    The Spaniard comes out with aggression turned up to the maximum and grinds Damir Dzumhur into submission.

    Alcaraz is unable to repeat that in the next point and Dzumur has another chance to break.

  14. Break point Dzumhurpublished at 21:29 British Summer Time 30 May

    *Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 3-3 Alcaraz

    Not to be upstaged Carlos Alcaraz digs deep into the locker for his best work and a drop shot is unreturnable.

    Add to that a sliding forehand from the baseline and it's a pretty good recipe for success.

    Or that's how it seemed... a couple of unforced errors hand Damir Dzumhur the opportunity to break.

    How has Damir Dzumhur pulled that one off?

    The Bosnian is moving one way with the ball going in the opposite direction when he stretches his racquet into the air and plucks out a volley against the odds to earn advantage.

    He follows by securing the hold.

    Still no obvious sign of a limp or any restriction in movement for Damir Dzumhur but possibly just some discomfort.

    Carlos Alcaraz is on the verge of getting two attempts at break point when he whips a forehand into the corner, but Dzumhur returns deep to the baseline where the scrambling Spaniard can only hit into the net. 30-30.

    Damir Dzumhur is back to his feet and has the ball in hand.

    We're ready to get back under way with this match.

    The winner of this match - and it's looking very likely to be Carlos Alcaraz - will face 13th seed Ben Shelton in the fourth round.

    Shelton beat Italy's Matteo Gigante 6-3 6-3 6-4 earlier today.

    The American also had a walkover in the previous round so will be fresh.

    *Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 2-3 Alcaraz

    I hadn't spotted an issue with Damir Dzumhur tonight but he did suffer a heavy fall in the previous round and it appears he's in a bit of pain.

    We're going to have an extended break here between games as Dzumhur receives treatment during a medical time out.

    It would be a shame if he was unable to see this match through.

    Damir Dzumhur may have won over sections of this crowd on Philippe Chatrier but they've all come to see Carlos Alcaraz who picks up another routine hold.
