Nadal* 3-6 4-6 6-3 Muller (*denotes next server)
One down, two to go! Nadal goes 40-0 up in double-quick time but a double fault and a forehand error leave him with just one set point remaining. And it's third time lucky as Muller sends a forehand into the net to hand the Spaniard the set.
Federer* 5-4 Dimitrov (*denotes next server)
I was only joking when I said this set is destined for a tie-break. Federer takes his third break point of the game and will serve for a one-set lead after the change of ends.
Berdych and Thiem into a fifth
Tomas Berdych and Dominic Thiem are into a deciding set on Court Three.
Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev and Milos Raonic are level at one set all.
Nadal* 3-6 4-6 6-3 3-2 Muller (*denotes next server)
Nadal dominates a rally to bring up three break points but Muller fends off all of them courtesy of some huge serving and accurate groundstrokes. A double fault by the 16th seed gives Nadal a fourth break point... and this time he takes it as Muller hits the net with a backhand!
Federer* 6-4 3-2 Dimitrov (*denotes next server)
Dimitrov sends a forehand well long on break point as Federer takes the initiative in this second set. The master is teaching the apprentice a lesson at the moment.
Federer* 6-4 6-2 Dimitrov (*denotes next server)
Federer brings up three set points in double-quick time - and he needs all three as the first two go begging courtesy of a backhand error and a supreme Dimitrov return. An unreturnable serve at 40-30 by the Swiss seals a two-set lead.
Berdych beats Thiem in five
Eighth seed Dominic Thiem is out after a five-set defeat by Tomas Berdych (6-3 6-7 6-3 3-6 6-3).
Nadal 3-6 4-6 6-3 6-4 1-1 Muller* (*denotes next server)
A double fist pump from Nadal as he thumps a backhand pass beyond the advancing Muller to hold serve.
Federer* 6-4 6-2 3-2 Dimitrov (*denotes next server)
Back-to-back backhand errors by Dimitrov hand Federer the break in this third set. It's surely only a matter of time before the seven-time champion seals his passage into the last eight.
Federer* 6-4 6-2 4-4 Dimitrov (*denotes next server)
A stupendous forehand pass out of nowhere by Dimitrov brings up two break points but he can't take either of them. The Bulgarian fashions another opportunity with a return winner... and this time he takes it as a Federer backhand slice hits the top of the net. We're back on serve in this third set.
