Radek Stepanek  

World No.1 Novak Djokovic kicked on once he lost the first set to wrap up the match in just under three hours. Stepanek's resilience though is commendable as he took that first set playing some brilliant tennis himself. The Serb looks in fine form here, and is very rightly the top seed. He is definitely the man to beat. At times in after the first set, it seemed as if the Champion was ambling through the match. He finally closed it out 4-6,6-2,6-2,6-2. The Serb fired nine aces and 49 winners in it.

Stepanek keeps himself alive in the set with this love hold but big question is that can he break  Djokovic in the next game, who will serve for the match.

IN, Winner: Stepanek!!! Slice serve, Djokovic has no answer to it.

Long game.. both players wrestled for their way in the game but it was  Stepanek who grabs it in his favour. With this the Czech also manages to open his account in the set...

Another love service hold by  Djokovic takes him to 5-1 screline in the set. He needs one more game to win the match and  Stepanek will serve to stay in it...
