  1. - - CHELA 6-7 7-6 5-7 - MATCH - And right before another tie-break, the Uzbekistani pulls off the upset after three hours, 22 minutes and 13 seconds of tightly-contested tennis.

  2. - - CHELA 6-7 7-6 5-5 - One more chance for a match-winning break or else we're going right to the wire in this one. And there's still five other matches scheduled for Court 8!

  3. - - CHELA 6-7 7-6 4-4 - BREAK - As I say that, Istomin responds with two in a row himself and the two are edging closer towards a third tie-break.

  4. - - CHELA 6-7 7-6 2-4 - BREAK - We may finally have that daylight on Court 8 after three hours of action. Chela breaks Istomin's serve then holds his own for a two-game lead.

  5. - - CHELA 6-7 7-6 2-2 - Nothing separating the two players STILL. One break of serve could be enough to decide the match at this stage, though.

  6. - - CHELA 6-7 7-6 1-1 - In keeping with the rest of the match so far, we're evenly-contested after two games of the final set.

  7. - - CHELA 6-7 7-6(9-7) - SET - After two and a half hours of tennis on Court 8, we are heading for a third set. Chela stays alive edging an epic tie-break 9-7.

  8. - - CHELA 6-7 6-6 - We're headed for another tie-break between Istomin and Chela. If the Uzbekistani can claim this one as he did in the first set, he'll be into the third round.

  9. - - CHELA 6-7 5-5 - Ten games down and we're heading for another tense finale on Court 8.

  10. - - CHELA 6-7 4-4 - Istomin continues to deny Chela a break and could well snatch a straight sets win in the dying embers of the second set here.

  11. - - CHELA 6-7 3-3 - The number 31 seed continues to hold onto his serve but neither is able to move properly ahead as of yet.

  12. - - CHELA 6-7 2-2 - Four games into the second set and the Argentine and the Uzbekistani remain level.

  13. - - CHELA 6-7 1-1 - Chela and Istomin each hold their serve at the start of set two.

  14. - - CHELA 6-7(7-5) - SET - Istomin scuppers the comeback by taking the tie-break and with it, the opening set.

  15. - - CHELA 6-6 - BREAK - Chela served for the set with a break, but after Istomin replied with one of his own we now head to a tie-break.

  16. - - CHELA 5-5 - BREAK - The Uzbekistani's set service was broken by Chela, who then held his own to fight back from 4-0 down to even stevens!

  17. - - CHELA 3-5 - Istomin will now serve for the set.

  18. - - CHELA 2-4 - BREAK - Chela is fighting back with the last two games in a row.

  19. - - CHELA 0-4 - BREAK - Bad to worse for the Argentine, now four games behind and looking likely to drop the first set to Istomin.

  20. - - CHELA 0-2 - BREAK - Tough start for the 31st seed Chela as he drops the first two games in a row to Istomin.
