    *Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 0-1 Alcaraz

    There's a danger of becoming complacent when you're so comfortable in the match and Carlos Alcaraz needs to ensure he doesn't allow that creep into his game.

  8. Break point Dzumhurpublished at 20:56 British Summer Time 30 May

    *Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 0-0 Alcaraz

    Carlos Alcaraz has been asked to defend break point in his first service game of each set tonight - he save the previous two and manages to repeat the trick this time too.

    Damir Dzumhur doesn't allow his head to slip and he's got another break point chance.

    *Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 0-0 Alcaraz

    The question now is how quickly can Carlos Alcaraz get the job done this evening. He was on court for one hour and 58 minutes when beating Giulio Zeppieri in his first-round match - we've had one hour and twenty minutes so far tonight.

    A positive start from Alcaraz is quickly wiped out as Damir Dzumhur fights back to deuce and the Bosnian goes one better to open up an opportunity to break.

    *Dzumhur 1-6 3-6 0-0 Alcaraz

    It's 27 degrees in Paris at the moment but Carlos Alcaraz hasn't even broken a sweat.

    This is the type of performance he needs to minimise his time on court and save energy levels for the latter stages of the tournament.

    Alcaraz is playing trick shots with his racquet as we wait for the third set to begin - Damir Dzumhur has disappeared for a comfort break - balancing the ball on the handle and then bouncing it off the rim.

    Looks like he hasn't got a worry in the world.
