*Novak Djokovic 6-3 3-4 Philipp Kohlschreiber

Arguably the point of the match to open up the game - both players twisting side to side before Djokovic slices into the net. 

At 30-15, Philipp absolutely rips the backhand continuously and Djokovic eventually cracks, going long. 

Djokovic's return goes long on game point, and Philipp holds. 

I have to say, the pace, power and intensity of the rallies early on is stunning - the crowd are absolutely gripped here.
