Having sealed the opening set, the 24-time Grand Slam champion came out firing in the second – breaking Norrie to love in his first service game before consolidating to take complete control in the contest.

Both players looked to make an impact on serve from the get-go. With the pair exchanging long rallies from the baseline in what was a fiercely competitive opening set, the pressure soon began to mount on the Brit’s serve when he found himself down 15-40 at 4-3. Draper produced a couple of monstrous serves when it mattered to save four break points, including two set points, and push the opener to a tie-break.

Despite the Brits’ hopes of reaching the semi-finals slowly fading, a 5,000 strong army of British fans continued to rally behind the world No.18, who fought off five break points in a single game at 3-2 to stay within touching distance of Djokovic. However, the British No.4’s level dropped in the tie-break – coughing up two double faults to ultimately see Serbia take the first set.Already one break to the good, Djokovic hit with freedom and intensity from the baseline – slamming a forehand winner at 4-2 to bring up the chance to clinch the double break. However, Norrie soaked up the pressure and defended well – saving four break points before claiming the hold with a forehand down the line.
