‘You could have given me a heads-up’: Djokovic’s crack at chair umpire as Musetti leads; Swiatek backs Gauff over racquet smash

There’s the break! The Italian hits the lead. What a game. The fans are loving it.

Lorenzo Musetti has settled into the match, broke serve in the fifth game, and then held serve to lead 4-2.

This included one particularly spectacular one backhand winner (on a return of serve) from world No.5 Musetti.

That was all class.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a match on our hands.

There’s a small sub-plot to this match, too.

Novak Djokovic was represented for a large chunk of his career by agent Edoardo Artaldi, and his partner Elena Cappellaro. They split from the Djokovic camp in recent years, and now have Musetti on their books.

Artaldi and Cappellaro are sitting courtside in the Italian’s coaching box.
