First set: Johnson 3-5 Kyrgios* (*denotes server): Kyrgios can sense the first set here. He closes out another service game to move within a game of the first set. He’s got six aces to his name so far tonight, and 16 winners. 4.34am BST
First set: *Johnson 3-4 Kyrgios (*denotes server): Wonderful stuff from the
Australian after he pops up a return of serve that Johnson should really put away – only for Kyrgios to whack a backhand with venom right back past him. Two break points for Kyrgios soon follow and although he can’t convert the first, he does on the second with a big reach down to his left to dig out a backhand volleyed winner! And we have our first break of the night.
