*Djokovic 2-0 Bautista Agut (40-40)
Better from Bautista Agut. The rallies are long, with both players happy to trade, and this time Djokovic's volley at the net is overhit at 40-30.
First deuce of the match.
Djokovic 3-0 Bautista Agut*
The defending champion holds, as Bautista Agut diverts a forehand wide and a beautiful forehand half-volley crosscourt clinches the game for Djokovic.
He has a three-game lead early on.
Djokovic 3-0 Bautista Agut* (40-40)
At 40-30, Bautista Agut tries a slice lob with Djokovic at the net, but the Serb is too quick - he shuffles back, and smashes his way to deuce.
Djokovic 3-0 Bautista Agut* (40-40)
Another chance to get on the board squandered by Bautista Agut, who nets with a backhand.
Back to deuce...
*Djokovic 3-1 Bautista Agut
Bautista Agut holds firm - two errors from Djokovic, and the Spaniard is on the scoreboard in this semi-final!
*Djokovic 3-1 Bautista Agut (15-30)
Our first slip on the grass! Djokovic chases a decent drop shot by Bautista Agut, but slips and sends his forehand wide.
He's absolutely fine though, and quickly up on his feet.
Djokovic 4-1 Bautista Agut*
As is often the case with Djokovic, when he needs to crank it up, he does so.
Some big serves and big forehands win him three points in a row, and his three-game, break lead remains intact.
Djokovic 4-1 Bautista Agut* (40-40)
Immaculately played point by Djokovic at 40-30, with a drop-shot/volley lob/drop volley combination running Bautista Agut ragged!
*Djokovic 4-2 Bautista Agut
Kudos to the Spaniard. He holds through deuce again, as Djokovic deploys the same tactic two points running, but misses the volley lob on this occasion.
A return sails long, and the deficit is back to two.
