First set: Khachanov 6-5 Djokovic* (*denotes server): Djoko not happy with life. Or himself, at least. Against this giant Russian, his thin frame makes him look almost boyish and it’s Khachanov who senses a chance and lands a break point. Djokovic challenges the call but loses, and then is beaten by a crashing passing shot when he is forced to take his second serve. Now Khachanov will serve for the set!
First set: Khachanov* 5-5 Djokovic (*denotes server): Khachanov goes for a big winner on the first shot but booms his shot out, then he can only crash the next shot into the net for 0-30. A peel of applause as Djokovic senses a chance but he misses a glaring chance for a winner. He does the same for 30-30, and looks tired. Khachanov blazes a forehand winner and can serve out his hold, which he completes with a crashed backhand.
