*Struff 1-2 Alcaraz
Alcaraz back serving, and he finds the net with an attempted dropshot before levelling it at 30-all.
He finds the net from the baseline to give Struff a break point, but he manages to save deuce.
He can’t get any consistency yet though, slicing long to give the German the advantage before looping a lovely forehand over that forces Struff into firing long.
Deuce again, but he takes advantage before sealing the hold with a good serve.

Bellucci breaks to take third set to 3-5

Plenty to go in that one for him to get it back though.

Struff 1-1 Alcaraz*
Straightforward stuff for Struff as he serves for the first time, with Alcaraz overhitting from the serve to give the German the hold.

*Struff 0-1 Alcaraz
A double fault to start for the Spaniard. Quite rare, you’d imagine.
He’s on the board soon enough, with Struff going long before an ace for the two-time winner.
And Alcaraz secures the hold as the German finds the net with his last return.

Bellucci 6-6 (5-7), 4-6, 1-4 Norrie* – Norrie breaks again!
Jack Rathborn on No.1 Court:
Norrie can sniff the finish line. Bellucci has given him everything he’s got and Norrie remains in every point, ready to counter-punch with the Italian.
The crowd is thrilled by the ebb and flow of these points, with every Norrie winner sparking loud cheers. No 1 Court is his favourite, after all, and Norrie is now just three games away from a fourth-round berth. The crowd is even relaxing a little, soaking in the rays from the sky and the crisp strokes from the home favourite that continue to break down the flashy Italian.

Bellucci 6-6 (5-7), 4-6, 1-4 Norrie* – Norrie breaks again!
Another chance at a break for Norrie?
Two errors in a row from Bellucci to make it 30-0, and then another for 40-0!
Body language isn’t positive!
And this one falls Norrie’s way, as he meets the shot low on the volley at the net to clip over a dropshot.
