Live Coverage: US Open - Day Six - Stanislas Wawrinka vs. Ruben Bemelmans

Good afternoon and welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage of day six of the US Open from Flushing Meadows.

We have an exciting lineup of matches in the early session as Britain's Johanna Konta bids to reach the last 16 of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career when she faces number 18 seed Andrea Petkovic. The 24-year-old defeated Wimbledon finalist Garbine Muguruza in the third round and will have her sights set on another scalp this afternoon.

Both players are out on the court and have gone through their warm-ups, so let's get this match underway. Petkovic will serve first.

Good start for Konta as she delivers a deep return to the back of the court and forces Petkovic to slam her forehand into the net. The Brit produces another good return and the German can only guide her shot into the net once again. However, a couple of loose shots bring the number 18 seed level and Petkovic enjoys a slice of luck when the ball clips the top of the net and just bounces over to bring up game point. Konta responds with a strong cross-court forehand to level at deuce, but another game point comes as the Brit goes wide with her backhand and then Petkovic produces an ace to win the opening game.

BREAK! Loose start to the game from Konta as she fires one forehand into the net and then goes wide when attempting to find the line. The German gets another huge slice of luck as she is beaten on the point, but the ball clips the net and takes it away from Konta pouncing at the net to bounce safely at the back of the court to give her three break points. Konta fends the first one off as Petkovic goes long with her forehand and then takes it down to one with forehand winner. However, Petkovic gets the break as the 24-year-old crashes her shot into the net.

BREAK! Petkovic lines up a strike, but gets far too much on her forehand when attempting to find the baseline and then the German finds the net with her forehand. The number 18 seed rallies with a sublime drop shot over the net and then powers a cross-court forehand to tie the game up at 30-30. However, another loose shot from the 28-year-old allows Konta to have a chance to break back and she hits a vicious return at the feet of the German and gets the break when the number 18 seed hits her reply long. Good stuff from the Brit!

Better start to the service game from Konta as the German fires her reply into the net, but Petkovic hits back with a winner down the line. A decent rally follows, and the Brit prevails when Petkovic finds the net on her forehand. Konta is able to secure the game when the number 18 seed finds the net with her forehand on the return. Lots of errors so far from both players.

A comfortable hold for Petkovic as the Brit fails to get a grip on her serve in the game. Konta fails to find the baseline with a couple of her forehands, allowing the German to have two game points. Petkovic finds a forehand winner to end the Brit's run of wins in two successive games.

Konta races into a 30-0 lead due to errors from the German, but Petkovic finds her forehand down the line to bring the scores back to level. The duo are involved in a decent rally, which yields a break point for the number 18 seed when Konta blasts her forehand into the net from the baseline. The Brit fends off the challenge and is able to secure an advantage when the German goes long with her attempted lob, but the number 18 seed brings herself level with a well-worked point which she finishes by powering her forehand down the line. Konta rallies once more and finishes the game with a forehand to tie the set at 3-3. Good battling by the Brit.

BREAK! Petkovic takes the first point courtesy of a strong serve, but Konta works her around the court to set up a chance to level at 15-15, but she misses her volley into the open court. However, the Brit responds with an excellent cross-court forehand, which leaves Petkovic rooted to the spot and then produces a fine spell of tennis that ends with a backhand down the line. The German manages to forge ahead once, but Konta hits back and wins back-to-back points to earn a chance to break the 28-year-old for the second time. Konta has the court at mercy at the net, but she manages to pick the German out, only to be bailed out by the number 18 seed as she misses her forehand wide. A huge moment in the match for 24-year-old.

BREAK! Konta goes wide with her forehand and then goes long and wide to hand the initiative to the German. The 28-year-old loses her composure by double-faulting and cannot get into the point as Petkovic dominates the court before she dispatches a forehand into the corner to seal her break back. We're level again!

Konta goes wide her backhand on the first point of the game, and then finds the net with her found. The Brit appears to have lost her rhythm and proves that again when she attempts to lob the German and can only send her effort beyond the baseline. Excellent tennis from the number 18 seed wins the game as she is effective in defence on her backhand before powering a winner into the corner off her backhand. Sublime from the German!

Much better from Konta as she earns a cheap point from the German to kickstart the game, but she then moves around the court with a series of fine strokes before volleying the winner into the open court to take a 30-0 lead. The match has been filled with short rallys and number 18 seed adds another to the list with a long forehand to give the Brit three games points, although that becomes two as she hits her forehand out. The 24-year-old snatches at the ball to go wide with her next shot to reduce her advantage, but she manages to remain in the rally on the next point and screams in delight when the German hits her strike beyond the baseline.

BREAK! The German gets the off the mark with a good serve down the 'T' which the Brit can do very little with, but Konta responds with a well-worked point, moving the German across the court before firing a backhand into the corner. However, the 24-year-old lets Petkovic back into the game with a loose forehand into the net, but the number 18 seed commits a forehand error to give the Brit a break point. Petkovic battles well to remain in rally under extreme pressure from Konta before the Brit makes the error. Konta continues to take the game to Petkovic and creates another break after working her over to the right side of the court and then smashes the ball at the baseline to carve out another break opportunity. The German's first serve fails and Konta takes a step forward on the second and hammers a forehand deep into the corner of the court to secure the break.

BREAK! Konta takes the early advantage as the German commits an error, but Konta responds with a mistake of her own as she misses the baseline with her advancing backhand to bring the German into the game. Petkovic rallies with a fine forehand down the line and then powers a return at the feet of the Brit to register a break opportunity. However, Konta battles back with two good serves to bring about deuce, leaving Petkovic to rue her loose shots. The Brit loses her composure, which maybe due to her nerves, when she blasts her forehand way too long and then loses the game as she goes wide with her backhand. Tie-breaker to decide the first set.

Petkovic 1-0 Konta - The German takes the lead in the tie-break by producing a drop-shot winner.

Petkovic 2-0 Konta - The longest rally of the match as the players exchange at least 20 strikes before the German ups the ante with a winner down the line.

Petkovic 2-1 Konta - The Brit rallies with a strike of her own down the line.

Petkovic 2-2 Konta - The scores are level as the German fires the ball into the net off her backhand.

Petkovic 2-3 Konta - The Brit edges ahead as she hits a fine backhand deep into the baseline and the German goes long with response.

Petkovic 2-4 Konta - The 24-year-old edges further ahead as she nails her serve down the 'T' and Petkovic can only hit her return out.

Petkovic 2-5 Konta - Another mistake from the number 18 seed as she powers her backhand, looking for the line out wide, but she misses the mark.

Petkovic 2-6 Konta - The Brit has four set points as the German blasts her backhand into the net.

SET! Petkovic 2-7 Konta - Konta takes the first set as Petkovic continues her poor display in the tie-breaker by launching her backhand well beyond the baseline. Excellent tennis from the 24-year-old.

Konta races ahead in the first game of the second set as she capitalises on some poor tennis from the German, who commits two mistakes to hand her a 30-0 lead. Konta goes long with her forehand at the baseline, but Petkovic cannot capitalise as she commits two further mistakes, under little pressure, to hand the game to the Brit.

BREAK! More joy for Konta at the start of the game as Petkovic hammers a loose forehand into the net, and then she double faults to hand the Brit a 0-30 lead. The German responds by crashing a forehand to the baseline, but Konta managwes to get her strike past her at the net, only to see the ball bounces millimetres wide of the line. Petkovic double faults again to hand Konta two break points, and although the German manages to save one, she then blasts her backhand into the net to hand the 24-year-old the break.

Holds do not come much simpler than this for the Brit as Petkovic looks completely disinterested, holding her leg which may signal that she has a problem. However, it is not problem for Konta as she picks up three points with ease before firing her serve into the ground and the German wafts her racquet at the ball half-heartedly to commit the game-sealing error. The trainers are out on court and like a lot of players before her, Petkovic seems to be struggling with the heat.

We have a medical time out on court as Petkovic appears to be a in bad way due to the heat. She's taking in shade and fluids, but defintely seems to be struggling. Konta has gone back into the changing room to cool down herself.

RESULT! The number five seed Petra Kvitova has secured her place in the last 16 of the US Open by defeating Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in straight sets in a match that lasted just over an hour.

We're back on court now as Petkovic appears to be on the mend.

Petkovic earns the first point of the game as Konta goes long with her forehand, but the Brit works her over in the second point to carve out a backhand winner down the line. The German looks all over the place as she commits two very loose errors on her forehand and then her backhand to give Konta two break points. The 28-year-old saves one with a fast serve down 'T' and then the Brit goes wide with her backhand to bring about deuce. Petkovic manages to regain her composure to earn a game point and a mistake from Konta allows her to hold.

Simple hold for the Brit as she closes in on victory. Konta starts with an ace out wide and then dominates the court with her forehand to take a 30-0 lead. The German gets slightly unlucky to see her return fall a millimetre wide, according to hawkeye, and Brit secures the game by producing a solid serve which Petkovic cannot return this time.

BREAK! Petkovic begins with an unreturnable serve, but then slams her forehand out when attempting to go for the line. The due exchange mistakes when attempting to go for the baseline, but the Brit produces an outstanding return to earn a break point. However, she cannot capitalise as she puts her backhand into the net, but another sublime return across the court on her forehand gives her another opportunity. Petkovic goes long with her backhand to hand the Brit the break and she will now be serving for the match.

BREAK! The Brit appears to lose her composure in the early points of the game as she goes long on a couple of forehands, but an error from Petkovic brings her back into the game. However, a double fault presents the German with two break points, but Konta manages to find her serve again to restore parity with a fine couple of forehands that forced the mistake from Petkovic. Another excellent serve brings out the mistake in the number 18 seed as she can only slice her backhand wide of the court. However, the German battles to remain in the game with a sublime drop shot and a forehand across the court, but Konta fends off two break points to take a match point when her forehand clips the top of the net and bounces over. Petkovic keeps herself in the match by attacking the Brit's second serve with venom, but Konta carves out her third match-winning opportunnity, but still she cannot take it. The tension appears to get to the 24-year-old when she commits a couple of errors to hand the German the break. The match goes on...

The duo exchange mistakes in the early part of the game, and the German takes a 30-15 lead when Konta sends her forehand long. Konta regains her composure to smash a forehand across the court into the corner to tie the score at 30-30, but Petkovic produces her best tennis to take the game and extend the match further.

GAME, SET, MATCH! Tentative start from Konta on her serve allows the German to take a 15-0 lead, but the the Brit battles back courtesy of a couple of mistakes from Petkovic to take a 30-15 lead. Another tentative shot allows the German to get back into the game, but Konta earns another match but again she cannot take it. Another opportunity comes the way of the Brit, but she cannot land her first serve in and the German attacks the second to extend the match. Are we going to get a winner here? Konta finally manages to land her first serve in on the sixth attempt on match point and lo and behold the German sends her strike out to hand her the victory. Great play from the Brit, who advances into the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career.

Well that was arduous, but Konta has secured her place in the fourth round of the tournament where she will take on Petra Kvitova. A tough challenge, but the 24-year-old has defeated number nine seed Garbine Muguruza and today the 18th seed, so facing the number five seed should faze her.

Right now we'll switch to the clash between Philipp Kohlschreiber and Roger Federer over on Arthur Ashe.

Federer wins his first service game with relative ease and is underway in this third-round clash.

BREAK! The Swiss carves out a break point as he hammers a backhand winner across the court, but the 31-year-old responds with a big serve down the 'T'. However, Federer makes the early breakthrough as he plays a vicious forehand to the back of the court and the German can only fire his return wide of the net.

An easy hold for Federer who seems quickly into his rhythm on serve. The German can barely lay a racquet on the ball due to the speed and accuracy of the Swiss' serve. When Kohlschreiber does get the ball back over the net, Federer has already lined up his strike into the opposite corner.

Better from Kohlschreiber as he manages to fire an ace past the world number two and then forces the Swiss into an error to take a 30-0 lead. However, as soon as he fails to get his second serve in Federer attacks and gets into the game with a forehand winner and a double fault levels the scores. The German respond with a sublime drop shot and then uses aggression on his groundstrokes to push Federer back on the baseline, leading to the mistake from the Swiss.

Federer takes the attack to the German and pushes him back with his accurate forehand to take a 30-0 lead, but Kohlschreiber responds when he comes to the net and forces the error from the world number two. The German takes the game to the world number two and hits two fantastic shots to earn a break point, but Federer hit ensures that he cannot take it by putting in a peach of serve followed by a forehand winner. However, Kohlschreiber continues to give Federer problems at the net and gains another break point, but Federer manages to see him off and secures the hold witha flourishing forehand.

Good start from Kohlschreiber as he nails his serve and forces the error from Federer. He does it again to take a 30-0 lead and another fine effort yields another mistake from the Swiss. The game is over in a flash as the 31-year-old sends his serve out wide and although Federer gets the return, the German fires the ball the the opposite corner.

Kohlschreiber hammers his first two returns wide of the mark, but then gets into the gear to level the scores at 30-30. This forces Federer to produce his best tennis to counter and he works the 31-year-old around the court before dispatching the ball into the corner. Another error from the German allows the world number two to secure the hold.

A simple hold for the German as Federer makes very little inroads on his serve as he commits errors going for the baseline to counter Kohlschreiber's power. The points in this match have been rapid. Federer will now serve for the first set.

SET! An easy hold for Federer as he secures the first set. He managed to hit a forehand winner for the first point and was not deterred from his play, despite an error which brought the game back to 15-15. The Swiss raised the level of his game on his forehand to bring up two set points and he finished with an emphatic overhead slam.

Impressive start to the second set for Kohlschreiber as he powers a serve past Federer and then works the Swiss around the court before nailing the line with his forehand. The duo exchange strikes before the world number two commits an error and another shot into the net hands the German the game.

Federer secures the hold and both players seem very comfortable on serve at the moment. Both are hitting a very high percentage of their first serves in and that is allowing them to dictate the points. The Swiss used his serve to fire three forehand winners past Kohlschreiber in his win in that game alone.

BREAK! Kohlschreiber starts out well in his service game, but Federer begins to make inroads and earns the chance at a break when he slices the ball over the net and the German cannot lift his shot back over. However, he spurns the opporunity by launching his sliced backhand just beyond the baseline. The German hands the Swiss another chance to break when he loses control of his backhand on the baseline, sending his strike well out. He adjusts his tactics to stave off the threat when he uses a serve and volley approach to force an error from Federer, but the world number two responds with an outstanding passing shot down the line. Federer earns the break when Kohlschreiber tries to guide his backhand over the net into the court, but he could only send his stroke wide of the line.

BREAK! Great response by the German as he blasts his first strike past the Swiss and then is able to capitalise on an error from Federer to take a 0-30 lead. The 34-year-old shows signs of frustration as he gifts three break points to the German, the 31-year-old secures the break when Federer goes wide with his forehand. Where did that come from?

BREAK! Sublime tennis from Federer as he breaks back immediately. The duo had exchanged strikes to cancel each other in the early part of the game. However, the Swiss was able to up the ante and first found the baseline with a forehand strike and then a delicate backhand slice secured the break as Kohlschreiber had no answer for the stroke. What a response from the world number two!

Federer backs up his efforts in the last break with an important hold. He finds the rhythm on his serve and fires two aces past the German before finding his forehand down the line, which despite the best efforts of Kohlschreiber, he cannot return into the court. The Swiss secures the game-winning point with another fine strike.

Excellent tennis from Kohlschreiber as he fends off the challenge of Federer in a love-service game. The Swiss cannot make any headway into the German's serve due to his power and accuracy. The one rally they do get into falls the way of the 31-year-old as he produces a deft drop shot to outwit the world number two.

The good tennis continues on Arthur Ashe as Kohlschreiber takes a 30-0 lead courtesy of a fine cross-court forehand and a mistake by the Swiss. However, Federer atones for his error with an ace down the 'T'. A loose forehand from the German allows Federer to level the scores and a serve and volley from the 34-year-old proves to be too good for Kohlschreiber. The world number two finishes with a sublime forehand winner to move within a game of the set.

Federer slams his first returns into the net and Kohlschreiber continues to power his serve past the Swiss, although he does manage to get one point back as his approach shot clips the net and bounces on to the German's side of the court. The 31-year-old holds when he works Federer across the court and slams a forehand across the court beyond the reach of the world number two. Federer will now serve for the set.

SET! Outstanding hold from Federer to secure the second set. The German came at him all guns blazing, but the Swiss had enough quality to repel the threat. He managed to force a crucial error from Kohlschreiber to earn a set point and took his chance by powering his serve at the body of the 31-year-old and dimissing his return down the line for the win.

Federer commits a loose error to hand the German the first point of the game and his return lacks enough depth to challenge Kohlschreiber's serve, resulting in a forehand winner for the 31-year-old. A loose return and a forehand into the net secure the first game of the third set for Kohlschreiber.

BREAK! A fine shot from Kohlschreiber hands him the lead in Federer's service game and he follows it up with another good strike to put the pressure on the Swiss. Federer charges the net in an attempt to stifle the German, but he produces a powerful shot at his body which yields the mistake from the world number two. The game ends with the break for the German, but it comes in controversial circumstances as his forehand to the baseline is called out, but Federer gets his racquet on it. The umpire overrules the call and hawkeye proves he was correct, handing the German the game.

BREAK! Federer hits back immediatelty, the true sign of a champion. Kohlschreiber appears to crack under the pressure by committing two double faults and the Swiss takes advantage of being handed two break points with a powerful forehand at the feet of the German, who can only guide his return out.

Federer holds off another strong challenge from the German to break his serve as he finds his first serve at the right moment and puts in an ace and a solid forehand to take a tied game at 30-30 to victory. This is proving to be a fascinating contest.

Kohlschreiber will wonder why he couldn't play like like this in his last service game he powers his first two strikes past Federer without the Swiss moving. The duo then exchange shots in a rally before the German finds his forehand with a sublime passing shot before he lobs the world number two, who cannot pull of his trademark shot between his legs, to hand the game to the German.

Federer wins his most important point at the match at 15-30 down when he and Kohlschreiber exchange vicious hits in the rally before he drops the ball in short at the net. The German reads it and fires the ball at his body, but he manages to repel the ball back and then in his next shot produces a deft touch to win the point. A mistake by Kohlschreiber when he attempts to go for the line and a miscue hand Federer the game.

Another hold from Kohlschreiber as his power continues to give Federer problems. The 34-year-old can barely get his racquet on the ball which is disrutping his rhythm in the service games. The German is able to cruise to the hold with a love-service game.

Federer holds and the points continue to come thick and fast. Kohlschreiber manages to get a foothold in the game at 30-30 due to a couple of forehand errors from the Swiss, but Federer produces a fine serve to get a cheap point and then watches Kohlschreiber knock the ball long with his forehand.

BREAK! Kohlschreiber picks up his first ace of the match, which is surprising considering how hard he has hit the ball. Another fine strike sees him race into a 30-0 lead, but Federer rallies by approaching the net and dinking a shot over, forcing the German to send his shot into the mesh. The Swiss gets fortunate when his backhand clips the top of the net and bounces over, and he produces his best tennis of the set to work Kohlschreiber out wide and he approaches the net drop his volley into the open court, earning break point. The world number two seizes his opportunity and blasts a backhand low and hard to the feet of the German, which he cannot return. Federer will now serve for the match.

GAME, SET, MATCH! Federer cruises to the match as he finds three of his best serves to put the German on the back foot to race into a 40-0 lead. The Swiss tries to end the match with a drop shot, but Kohlschreiber is alert to the danger and blasts his forehand past the world number two. However, it is only a mild setback for Federer as he wins the match on the next point when the German sends his forehand beyond the baseline. A great performance from the five-time champion.

Federer struggled at times against the German this evening, but proved he had the quality to fend of his challenge, despite not being at his best. The 34-year-old will now face John Isner in the fourth round.

RESULT! Number six seed Tomas Berdych has come from one set down to defeat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in four sets to advance to the fourth round. Read our report of the match here.

RESULT! Richard Gasquet is also through to the round of 16 after he overcame Bernard Tomic in straight sets, dropping just eight games in the contest. Read more here.

Right that's it from me, I'll hand you over to Jonathan McIntosh for all the action from the afternoon session.

Thanks Simon! We should be in for a great afternoon session tonight with Victoria Azarenka vs. Angelique Kerber coming up next. They're on court now and it should be underway soon.

We're underway in the Arthur Ashe Stadium! Azarenka takes the first point against Kerber's serve, and a long rally ensues as the German levels. It then goes to 30-30 and Azarenka gets the break point, attacking the net and volleying well. Kerber struggles with the first serve but a brilliant forehand forces Azarenka into firing wide. Long rallies are a theme to the first game, and Azarenka fires a backhand past Kerber to get another break point. Once again, Kerber saves it. Then, a brilliant Kerber drop shot just clears the net and Azarenka fires long and loses the game.

BREAK! Kerber races into a 0-40 lead, with Azarenka skewing a seemingly simple shot high and wide, and then long in the next point. Azarenka makes a point back with an unreturnable serve and then again with a diagonal passing shot. Kerber then breaks, forcing Azarenka into a lob which Kerber gratefully smashes past her opponent.

BREAK! Azarenka breaks! Three points in quick succession gives Azarenka a 0-40 lead, and then she completes the love game with her second shot of the next point. Clinical tennis from Azarenka!

BREAK! It's a bad miss from Azarenka, with a volley wide when the whole court was open. Then, a cross-court backhand winner from Kerber doubles her lead. It's three break points as Azarenka hits the net from the baseline. One is saved, but Azarenka then hits the net. Three breaks from four games so far.

BREAK! This just keeps going against serve. Azarenka now takes a 0-40 lead and forces Kerber to strike wide with her next shot. Another break, another love game. Can Azarenka finally hold serve and level the score?

BREAK! You guessed it, another break! Azarenka wins the first three points, after two unforced errors and an ace. Kerber then does well with a winner down the left tramline. Kerber pulls it back to 30-30, but Azarenka's attacking tennis forces Kerber deep in the next point. A superb cross-court passing shot brings it to deuce. Another long rally ends in Kerber hitting the net, but a second deuce is forced by a perfect lob over Azarenka's head. Advantage Kerber after an Azarenka drop shot doesn't come off, but she goes long when given a chance to win the game. It goes to deuce yet again, and this time Kerber breaks again with a drop shot and a double fault finishing the match.

Kerber takes the first two points quite easily, but another long rally finishes with Kerber firing wide with an unforced error. Azarenka goes long from the baseline, and the game is finished with an ace. Azarenka now serving to stay in the set.

Kerber hits the into the net, and an ace gives Azaranka a 30-0 lead. Another superb serve down the middle is unreturned to give her three chances to win the game. She hits the net with the next shot, but makes no mistake at 40-15 as Kerber returns her serve into the net. Perfect time to start serving well!

BREAK! Azarenka comes to the net and hits a winner past Kerber, and then smashes a volley again to take the score to 15-30. Kerber levels with a powerful serve that Azarenka can't deal with, but a double fault gives Azarenka the chance to break. It's deuce after Azarenka's shot bounces off the top of the net and narrowly wide, but it's another double fault. Superb defending from Kerber saves the game, Azarenka then puts a cross-court drop shot wide. The Belarusian forces another deuce and then smashes an overhead to get another break point. Kerber's serve is initially called out, but a review says otherwise and Kerber is given the point. With the next serve, it's another challenge from Kerber but the umpire got it right and it was hit long. Yet another save from Kerber, and yet another break point as the pair trade points once again. Wash, rinse and repeat - another winner from Kerber saves the game as it passes the 10-minute mark. Azarenka finally gets the game, firing twice past Kerber. That must have taken it out of them!

Azarenka hits well wide, but challenges the call anyway. The review tells us what we all knew anyway. A much stronger point from Azarenka forces Kerber back and a volley brings the score to 15-15. It's great tennis from the pair of them now. Kerber twice fails to return a serve but forces Azarenka into a mistake on another long rally. With the chance to level the set, Azarenka's second serve is too slow and Kerber makes her pay. Azarenka takes the advantage with her attacking play once again and the game is secured by Azarenka.

BREAK! At 15-30, Kerber is up against it but she pulls out another drop shot which forces Azarenka to the net. She drops it back but Kerber races to the net to deliver a passing shot. Azarenka then hits a shot to the right, which fools Kerber. The German thinks it's out but the review shows the ball skimming the tramline. Kerber wins the next one to take the game to deuce but she puts a backhand cross-court shot out. Azarenka takes the break as Kerber hits the next! Azarenka serving for the set!

SET! Azarenka takes a 30-0 lead in double quick time, and then pulls an ace out the bag to give her three set points. Kerber hits long with the return and Azarenka takes the first set!

That was some superb tennis from Azarenka after a slow start. Kerber hasn't beaten her in four previous attempts. I wonder how the loss of that first set will affect her.

Some big news emerging regarding Canada's Eugenie Bouchard. She's been forced to withdraw from the doubles due to an injury. Read the full story here.

Kerber bounces back. Two good serves, and an error from Azarenka gives her a 40-0 lead. She puts the ball long with the next one, but hits a winner to take the game.

Both players hit out in the first two points of game two, and Azarenka takes it to 30-15 by forcing Kerber into hitting the net. The server hits long but gets the chance to win the game when Kerber hits a cross-court shot out. Azarenka takes the game when Kerber returns a serve long.

Kerber makes an error by hitting the net when on the attack. She makes no mistake with the next point though, hitting a powerful shot past Azarenka and then repeats the feat twice more to lead 40-15 before taking the 2-1 lead.

While the players are taking a break, have a look at the report of John Isner's match against Jiri Vesely. Yet another casualty as Vesely withdraws in the second set. Full story here.

BREAK! Azarenka forces Kerber into two mistakes, but Kerber then returns a winner off of a second serve and Azarenka hits the net to take the score to 30-30. Kerber takes the break when Azarenka hits the net again and then fires wide.

Kerber takes the first point, but a shot is called long. Kerber challenges the call, and correctly too. The ball hit the baseline. 30-0. The next point is a thriller, and Kerber's speed combats a drop shot. Azarenka then pulls two back but fires long and Kerber takes the game.

Another physical point at the start of the game sees Azarenka given the run around but impressive serving pulls her back to a 40-15 lead. Kerber then returns perfectly into the far corner but Azarenka forces her wide with the next point and takes the game.

A powerful serve is returned long but an error from Kerber makes it 15-15. Azarenka attempts to finish a long rally with a drop shot but it falls short of the net before Kerber skews a shot long. An unforced error from Azarenka, hitting the ball wide from the baseline, gives Kerber the chance to take the game, and she does exactly that forcing Azarenka into hitting the net.

Azarenka wins the first point before a Kerber passing shot. With the third point, Kerber's shot is called out but a review shows it as in and she wins the point at the next attempt. A powerful shot from Azarenka skims the baseline and Kerber is unable to return it. It goes to deuce as both players make errors and Azarenka hits the net on the attack to give Kerber a set point. That is saved as Kerber hits into the net but another chance comes after an aggressive return. This time, Kerber takes the set with a perfect drop shot that bounces just in past the net.

Kerber finding form with some terrific tennis in that set! Into the final set we go.

Shelby Rogers vs. Simona Halep follows this match in the Arthur Ashe Stadium, before the big one - Andy Murray vs. Thomaz Bellucci later tonight.

Elsewhere, Stanislas Wawrinka vs. Ruben Bemelmans should be starting in the very near future in the Louis Armstrong Stadium.

Both Azarenka and Kerber have left the court and gone into the locker room. There's a bit of a delay to the start of set three, but we'll be underway shortly.

BREAK! Kerber gets the winner with her trademark cross-court passing shot to start the set. Azarenka has a winner of her own, and Kerber then comes to the net to take a 30-15 lead. Kerber then wins the next point, but concedes the next two as the game goes to deuce. Both players then shoot wide, before trading points once again. An Azarenka shot down the line skims the tramline to give her the chance to break, and it's a chance she doesn't take as Kerber forces her wide. It goes to a fifth deuce as Kerber hits a winner, and then hits it out. Azarenka then has another chance to break. This time, she gets it with a cross-court return.

BREAK! A long rally to start game two ends when Azarenka sends a shot down the line past her opponent. Kerber then puts the ball into the net before Azarenka fires long. A drop shot from Azarenka is chased down by Kerber and that cross court shot once again wins the point. Azarenka then double faults to give Kerber the chance to break back but it's not taken as she returns a slow serve straight into the net. Azarenka saves a second break point with a backhand winner but a double fault gives Kerber a third chance. An excellent point to finish the game saw Azarenka come to the net to attack, but Kerber defends resolutely and hits a winner down the line to break back.

Kerber continues to thrill the crowd with a shot that hits the tramline on its way past Azarenka. She makes it 30-0 with an serve that can't be returned, but then hits the net with the next point. Another passing shot down the line from Kerber, and Azarenka then returns the serve out.

Azarenka starts the game brilliantly with a passing shot down the line but sends a shot long in the next point. Another terrific rally finishes with Azarenka putting it wide via the top of the net. It's two break points for Kerber as she wins the next one but Azarenka responds with a backhand winner. She takes it to deuce after sending Kerber all over the court, and Azarenka then takes the advantage. A shot down the line wins the game for Azarenka.

BREAK! Both players hit winners at the start of the game before Kerber double faults. Azarenka then gives herself two break points by attacking the net and volleying past her opponent. She takes the break with a cross-court winner. That could be absolutely vital!

Azarenka wins the first point, and then produces the perfect drop shot to take the score to 30-0. The next point goes Azarenka's way too, but Kerber bounces back with a backhand into the corner. It's two in a row for Kerber as her smash is too powerful for Azarenka to return and the game goes to deuce when Azarenka puts the ball into the net. It's then break point as Azarenka makes an unforced error, but a stunning ace, originally called out by the line judge, brings it back to deuce. A superb volley denies Kerber a passing shot and gives advantage to Azarenka and the game is finally won when Kerber hits a return into the net.

Stunning tennis! These two have served up a really exciting match. Kerber pulls off the best shot of the day to bring the score to 30-30 with a passing shot. She then wins another and Azarenka hits long to give the game to Kerber.

Kerber makes a pair of mistakes as Azarenka takes a 30-0 lead. The German hits the ball into the net once again, but pulls a point back when her long shot hits the baseline. Azarenka takes the game as Kerber hits the net after a long rally. Kerber will now serve to stay in the match.

After a thrilling encounter, Azarenka races into a 40-15 lead to give herself two match points. She then hits long and Kerber pulls out a super cross-court shot to take it to deuce. Azarenka then has a third match point after hitting a winner, but slams a shot into the net when on the attack. A fourth try comes as Kerber then hits long but Kerber takes it straight back. Kerber then takes the advantage, but the game continues when Azaranka volleys it home. From Kerber's serve, Azarenka hits long and Kerber takes the game with a superb cross court overhead shot. That game was intense. Azarenka to serve for the match.

GAME, SET & MATCH! A powerful serve opens the game and Azarenka then forces Kerber back and volleys past her. She then has three match points after playing a winner down the line. Kerber hits it wide and Azarenka goes through!

What a match that was! After two hours and 54 minutes we finally have a winner and it's Victoria Azarenka who beats Angelique Kerber. Winners, volleys, drop shots - this match had everything. Arguably the best match so far of this US Open. Andy Murray - you have a lot to live up to!

Azarenka will play American Varvara Lepchenko after she beat Mona Barthel in three sets earlier this evening.

UPDATE: Stanislas Wawrinka's match against Ruben Bemelmans is underway. That's at 3-3.

The most exciting place to be at the moment is at Grandstand though. Victor Troicki vs. Donald Young is into the fifth set. 4-6 0-6 7-6 6-2 1-0 so far

Up next on the Arthur Ashe Stadium is Simona Halep vs. Shelby Rogers at midnight, before Andy Murray takes to the court around 2am (BST).

Until Murray though, let's head over to the Louis Armstrong Stadium. Wawrinka has the break against Bemelmans - 5-3 in the first set, Bemelman to serve.

SET! The score goes to 30-30 before Bemelmans fires a shot wide. Set point for Wawrinka then, and Bemelmans puts his first serve into the net. His second serve is good, but he fires the ball into the net and Wawrinka takes the first set. Good time for us to join them!

Wawrinka hits a double fault, before Bemelmans hits long. It goes to 15-30 when Wawrinka misses the target, but a cross-court winner pulls it back for Wawrinka. It goes to deuce, and Bemelmans passes Wawrinka to get the break point. Wawrinka saves and gets the advantage when Bemelmans hits wide. Wawrinka sends Bemelmans all over the court, forcing him to lob and smashes the ball down to take the game.

Wawrinka takes a 0-30 lead but Bemelmans bounces back after an error from the Swiss, and his first ace of the match. Wawrinka has the break point though when he hits a shot down the line that bounces off the tramline. That chance is wasted though as he goes long. Ace number two gives Bemelmans the advantage and he takes the game.

Wawrinka certainly hasn't been at his best so far this week, and stumbles in this match. At 15-30, he double faults and smashes his racket onto the ground. That's in bits, he's not happy. Get another racket out Stan. That initially seems to help him, as he attacks the net and wins the point with a drop shot. A captivating point follows. Wawrinka starts off on the defensive but turns it around and eventually Bemelmans hits the net. The Belgian then makes an error to give Wawrinka advantage, and he takes full advantage to win the game.

Wawrinka hits long twice in succession, and Bemelmans wins points three and four to wrap up the love game in double quick time.

BREAK! The pair share the points throughout the game, with both players inaccurate on a number of occasions. At deuce, Bemelmans hits a winner down the line and gets the break when Wawrinka hits the net.

BREAK! Bemelmans races into a 40-0 lead but sends his first serve well long. He hits long again after Wawrinka's return and the score is pegged back to 40-30 with a delicious winner. Bemelmans tries a winner of his own but it goes a foot wide for deuce. Advantage goes to Wawrinka when he races down a drop shot and beats Bemelmans with a cross-court shot and the serve is broken with the next point.

Wawrinka takes the game with ease. Bemelmans puts the first shot long, and can't keep up with Wawrinka this game. The score is extended to 40-15 and Wawrinka hits a winner to hold serve.

Bemelmans takes a 30-0 lead as Wawrinka's lob goes long and wide. The Belgian then hits a passing shot down the line to give himself three chances to win the game. He wins it to love when Wawrinka fires a return well wide.

The pair exchange cross-court shots before Wawrinka changes it up and goes down the line. That shot goes wide though, but the score is levelled when Bemelmans fires long. With the next point, Wawrinka's shot is called long but a challenge reveals that it is in line with both the baseline and tramline. Wawrinka takes the game to 40-15 before aceing Bemelmans to take the game. Bemelmans to serve to stay in the set.

Bemelmans makes an unforced error to start the game but levels with the next point. He then attacks the net but can't deal with Wawrinka's baseline shot and hits the net. It's then set point for Wawrinka - he fails at the first attempt and Wawrinka hits long as the game goes to deuce. Bemelmans hits a pass to get the advantage and Wawrinka again hits long as Bemelmans holds serve.

That's time for me to hand over to Shane Callaghan, who will take you through to the close of the Andy Murray match later tonight. Shane, over to you!

Thanks Jonathan. No time for a hello because it's all go down at Flushing Meadows. Stan the man Wawrinka holds serve to move 6-5 ahead and Bemelmans will be serving to save the second set and force a tiebreak. He wins the 11th game with a clever drop shot and big pressure on the Belgian now.

Bemelmans, who looks a little like I'm a Celebrity Winner Carl Fogarty, makes a pig's ear of his first serve with a double fault. But he comes back well, smashing home a few winners en route to a 40-15 lead, before an error from Stan saw the underdog force a tiebreak!

1-1 in the tiebreak then as there's still little to choose between the duo.

Wawrinka BREAKS to move 2-1 up in the tiebreak after Bemelman's return somewhat inexplicably struck the net. Poor that.

Bemelmans hits it long and it's only 3-1 to the Swiss, who looks to be sailing toward a two-set lead.

Make that 4-1 a Wawrinka lashes a fierce winner past his Belgian counterpart. Wait - now it's 4-2! There's life in this yet.

Make that 4-3 to Wawrinka, as Bemelmans challenges the call after his ace was called out, and let's just say the umpire was left with a bit of egg on his face because it was in by about a mile.

Wawrinka holds serve twice in quick succession to move 6-3 ahead and he's just one point from a two-set lead now.

Likewise, Bemelmans wins twice on his serve to reduce the arrears to 6-5.

SET! The Swiss and world number five edges the tiebreak with a 7-5 win to establish a two-set lead in the best-of-five format. In other words, he's one set from the fourth round.

We know the dangers of leading 2-0, however, after Fabio Fognini did the impossible and came back from two down to beat Rafa Nadal about 18 hours ago. It's a huge ask for the world number 107 to do the same though, isn't it?

Wawrinka threatens an early break by winning the first point, but the Belgian wins three on the spin, courtesy of two Wawrinka errors, to lead 40-15. It's easy from there as he holds serve to move 1-0 ahead.

Stan levels up in style, cruising into a 40-0 lead before serving an ace that the umpire called out, but Wawrinka swaggered to the centre of the court before indicating a challenge - and it paid off. The umpire has made a few dodgy calls in the last 10 minutes alone.

The pendulum swings back in favour of Bemelmans - but it was a hard-fought game this. At deuce, he serves an ace to earn the advantage, before serving another a minute later. Fancy by Iggy Azaelia echoes around the arena now, and it's difficult to fancy Bemelmans for a comeback. Wawrinka, despite trailing 2-1 in this set, will find another level as this third and potentially final set goes on.

Is he finding that level already? This one lasted less than two minutes! Wawrinka's powerful serve is too much for the Belgian, who ships four quick-fire points as Wawrinka levels up at two games apiece.

BREAK! Well then. Have we seen the pivotal moment in this set? Wawrinka has two break points, but he only needs one as Bemelmans's drop shot goes into the net. That's the type of shot you only play if comfortable with it, and Bemelmans clearly isn't. Advantage Stan, who moves 3-2 ahead.

Yep, Stan the man is just two games from the victory here after holding serve with ease following a few dodgy errors by Bemelmans.

BREAK! We said Wawrinka would raise his game, and boy has he done just that. The Swiss yet again finds himself with two break points at 40-15 up against the serve, but this time he needs both after Bemelmans plays some good tennis to cancel out one of the points. However, a ferocious backhand from Wawrinka saw the Belgian's tame return reach the net and the world number five is serving for the match!

BREAK! Well then. This one isn't over yet because Bemelmans shows that his head isn't gone completely, as he establishes three break points before winning on the second one to ensure Wawrinka still has a bit to do in order to reach the fourth round. Just a bit.

Nope. This one isn't over. Bemelmans fires a statement at Wawrinka by winning four points in quick succession to restore the deficit. But he needs another break - and it HAS to come in this next game otherwise it's curtains for him. Wawrinka has taken his foot off the gas at the wrong time.

GAME SET & MATCH Bemelmans hits a fabulous winner, before a touch of nerves perhaps saw Wawrinka serve a double fault as the Belgian led 30-0. The Swiss won one point back, but an unforced error gave Bemelmans two break points. Stan fought back to reach deuce en route to spurning one of two match points, but he won the second one to reach the fourth round.

He made hard work of that in the end and credit to Bemelmans, who didn't play like a world number 107 in that final set. It was a gutsy showing from the Belgian but the cream rose to the top in the end. Fancy recapping the win? Click here for our report.

Fancy knowing what's been going on elsewhere? Of course you do. So, big Kevin Anderson has one foot - and what a big, sized 18 foot it is - in the fourth round as he leads 1-0 against Dominic Thiem. Likewise, Simona Halep, the women's second seed, has also one foot in the fourth round as she leads the American Shelby Rogers 1-0. And don't be going anywhere because we've got third seed Andy Murray to come in about 40 minutes. He faces Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci.

SET! The big South African Anderson now has one foot and, say, his toes in the fourth round after winning a tiebreak against Thiem to move 2-0 up. I fancy him to go far this year. He's a nuisance to play against. Or so I hear. I've never faced him personally.

Who says basketball stars don't watch tennis? Okay nobody has ever said that, but when you need a segue you need a segue. Here, Kobe Bryant is celebrating Donald Young's victory over Viktor Troicki, having come from two sets down to do it!

@Yimlife1313 YES!! Great comeback win!! #USOpen — Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) September 5, 2015

Oh snap! Tough love (pun intended) but Mrs Murray definitely has a point (pun intended again).

Dear Jamie, Grey shorts in extreme heat are a no-no. Love, mum x. #USOpen2015 pic.twitter.com/Bko2UxVhFM — judy murray (@judmoo) September 5, 2015

GAME SET & MATCH! Second-seed Simona Halep breezes into the fourth round - her best ever finish at the US Open - with a 6-2 6-3 win over Shelby Rogers, which may or may not be the most American name in the history of the United States. We'll have the report up very shortly. The report of the match that is - not a report of the most American-sounding names ever, although I reckon golfer Zach Johnson features.

As promised, here's our recap on Halep's win over Rogers. Murray in T-minus 13 minutes approximately.

Judy Murray criticised son Jamie for wearing gray shorts in these sweltering conditions, but her other son Andy hasn't made the same mistake. The 2012 champion emerges dressed in all black as he looks to reach the fourth round. They've just been given the three-minute warning! He's said to be suffering with a cold, and he had that gruelling three-and-a-half hour marathon with Adrian Mannarino last time out. Let's hope for the sake of Britons everywhere that he has another big game in him because he might need it. Bellucci beat him in the Madrid Masters in 2011 - their only meeting.

When you've got Batman on your side you're unstoppable.

Right I'm up again and I'm backing @andy_murray to come through in three! Then more sleep #USOpen2015 😊👍🏼🎾 — The Batman (@AR1961) September 6, 2015

We're off on Arthur Ashe! Let's go.

Bellucci looks on course for an early break by going 30-0 ahead, with a truly brilliant winner to clinch the second point. Murray strikes back with a ferocious ace, followed by an over-hit from Bellucci to level up. The man in black then pulls out the next two points to hold serve. Big test early on but he did well there.

It's early days but Bellucci has shown a few weapons in his arsenal already - and they look lethal. Two superb cross-court winners stump the Scot, whose unforced error then gives the Brazilian a 40-0 lead. Murray wins the following point, but it only delayed the inevitable as Bellucci levels up.

BREAK! Murray has the entire court to aim at on Bellucci's return but he still hits it out. Sloppy from the Scot, who then lost the second point before winning the third. Bellucci then gave Murray the eyes to win a thrilling rally to move 40-15 ahead and earn two break points. The first one passed him by as Murray took it to 40-30, but another error from the third seed allows the Brazilian to break!

Murray takes a swig of his flavoured water, but Bellucci just sits there, upright, with a blank expression and not blinking. He looks completely in the zone.

BREAK! Bellucci leads 30-15 on his serve, but a fine winner from Murray levels up. The South American pulls an excellent ace out of the bag - his first of the match I think - but a double fault then takes us to deuce. Then ANOTHER double fault gives Murray break point and Bellucci's drop shot hits the net. Sloppy from Bellucci all round.

Much better from Murray as he holds serve to regain his lead. The left-hander is throwing up some excellent shots, but so is Murray and we've got the makings of an excellent match here, my friends. We saw a four-hour epic from Rafa Nadal on day five. Might we see another?

RESULT! Incidentally, Anderson books his fourth-round place with a straight-sets win over Dominic Thiem, surviving a couple of tiebreakers on the way. Here's our report for that one.

Wow. What a game. More deuces than a Smoothie bar. Stunning winner from Murray claims the first point in the opener, before Belluci's return is then over hit as another break looks on the cards. A deft little drop shot then helps him level up at 30-30, but Murray's return then gives him break point. Bellucci saves. And another. And then another as Murray spurned three. It's then advantage Bellucci following a smash, but he wastes it too. This happened again and again but just when you thought nobody wanted to win the sixth game, Bellucci won the war off attrition to hold serve.

The nip-and-tuck nature of the match continues in the seventh game - and there's more deuce after Murray shanked his return somewhat. Really poor error from Bellucci - and not his first of the morning - then saw the advantage go to the Scot, who had Bellucci running all over the court before finally putting him out of his misery. Cracking game this.

BREAK! Two over-hit returns from Murray give Bellucci a 30-0 lead, but a fabulous return in the next reduces the deficit. Murray had luck on his side after his return then clipped the net as the Braziian sprinted to reach, which he did but the Scot then levelled at 30-30. Double fault then gives Murray break point, and his final return is nothing less than brilliant as Bellucci hits the net. Superb tennis from the third seed, who now serves for the first set.

SET! The Scot wins a brilliant first set 6-3 in a scoreline which, in truth, does absolutely not reflect the game so far. Bellucci has been excellent as well and it could just as easily been 6-3 to him in the opener. It's a really good match this, but Bellucci needs to work on his serve. I think he's suffered FOUR double faults already.

BREAK! Bellucci's head goes down a little as Murray eases to a 40-0 advantage, before his over-hit return gives Bellucci a glimmer of hope. The next point goes the way of the Brazilian too, but another double fault from him gives Murray a first-game win.

What began as a very promising match is now going a little one-sided. Bellucci looks a shadow of the version we saw in the first set and Murray is cruising at the moment, which is unfortunate because this one had the makings of a five-setter once upon a time.

Ray Lliota of Goodfellas fame is in attendance and, if we're being honest, he looks like he hasn't slept since Goodfellas came out.

Bellucci, to his credit, does well here - and he had to. He pulled out some cracking shots like, say, the Bellucci of half-an-hour ago was producing and he's been galvanised now. But Murray serves to go 3-1 up now.

Murray's lob lets him down as Bellucci returns, but the Scot fires a ferocious winner to snuff out the Brazilian who, to his credit, battles back to 30-30. A clever little dink from Murray then puts him one point away from the game, and he makes no mistake.

Murray wins the first point as another break of serve looks momentarily on the cards, but Bellucci levels, before pulling two aces out of his sleeve like David Blaine to move 40-15 ahead out of nowhere. Better from the Brazilian, but he's going to need an elusive break - and he hasn't managed one since the second game of the match.

Murray survives a bit of a scare here. It's 40-30 in favour of the Scot, and it looks certain to be deuce when Bellucci has the entire court to aim at, but he somehow taps his return out of bounds. That's really, really poor. Get Liotta down here.

BREAK! Bellucci looks on course to hold serve at 30-0, but superb determination from Murray, who might've rivalled Usain Bolt here, as he sprints to connect with the Brazilian's return en route to winning the point. Minutes later he's 40-30 up with break point, and Bellucci over-hits his return as Murray now serves for the second set. Funny old game this.

SET! Very much on the defensive, Murray somehow manages to go into offensive mode to win the point and level this potentially final game of the set at 15-15. At 40-30, the Scot then pulls out potentially shot of the match to clinch the second set at 6-2. That scoreline reflected the set moreso than the first one.

Bellucci is digging deep. He is digging deeper than Liotta and co in Goodfellas when burying Billy Batts. Murray has a break point, but the Brazilian wins three on the spin to hold serve and that could be crucial.

Murray serves out a double fault to give the Brazilian a 30-15 lead, with Bellucci letting out a ghoulish shout after over-hitting Murray's return. The Scot then serves an ace, before lashing out a fine winner to hold serve. He also dug deep there; not quite Billy Batts deep, but maybe a bury-your-gold-fish deep.

No messing about from Bellucci, who looks angry and determined to make this a match again. He fails to drop a point en route to moving 2-1 ahead in a rapid-fire third game of the third set.

If Bellucci is going to get back into this then he needs to win against the serve, but it's easy for Murray on his serve and the Scot pulls out a superb winner to level up a two games apiece. The first break of serve in this set will determine it.

Two smashes from Bellucci help him into 30-0 lead, but a superb drop shot from Murray, following a drop-shot rally of sorts, helps him reduce the deficit, but Belucci eases to a 3-2 lead from there. He's playing good tennis again. Just ignore that second set, in which his head went down a little.

An ace, coupled with an over-hit return, see Murray move 30-0 ahead early on. He's then 40-0 ahead, before a superbly deft drop shot clinches the sixth game. Murray is halfway toward victory and Bellucci is halfway toward a first set. #Poised

Bellucci cruises to victory on his own serve, with a thrilling exchange in the last point in one of the highlights of the morning. It was a bit special. Big pressure on the Murray serve now? Can he hold? He needs to because I don't see Bellucci losing on his serve until he wins at least one set.

We said Murray needs to hold but he gets off to a dodgy start as Bellucci leads 15-0, but a couple of Murray aces help flip the game on its head. It should've been his game as he then wasted a glorious opportunity for game point. However, he comes back strong to win the next two points and level at 4-4. One break of serve is probably enough for the set now. Who's going to bottle it?

No bottling from Bellucci anyway, as the Brazilian holds serve with relative ease to move 5-4 ahead. This one is officially tighter than a fisherman's sheet bend. It's tighter than the half-ton man going through a turnstiles. It's just really, really, really tight, you know? Murray now serving to stay in the third set.

A slightly shanked return helps Murray into a 30-0 lead, with Bellucci showing his frustration by smacking his trainer with the racket. We mean his shoe rather than his coach, by the way. It was an easy hold for Murray, despite the best efforts of Bellucci, and we're 5-5! This next one is the biggest game of the match now.

BREAK! With 22 shots, we saw the longest rally of the match, which Murray won to move 30-0 up. A superb forehand then saw Murray move 40-0 ahead with three break points - and he needed only one, with Bellucci finding the net with a tame return. He's now serving for the match.

GAME SET & MATCH! He's done it! Bellucci's return is slightly over-hit as Murray edges 15-0 ahead. However, the Brazilian was thrown a lifeline when the Scot struck the net with his return, but another poor return from Bellucci saw the favourite move 30-15 ahead. Murray then surrendered one match point as Bellucci came back into it, but a poor return was enough to see the 2012 champion reach the fourth round.

Credit to Bellucci, who was very decent in the first and third sets, with a slightly disheveled-looking Ray Liotta one of the stand-out memories of a meh second set, but it wasn't enough. Murray isn't playing badly for somebody with a virus, eh?

Before we leave you, here is how the Scot and third seed pulled won the match 6-3 6-2 7-5. Scoreline is slightly flattering on Murray, and he'll probably tell you that himself in his post-match interview, but he won't care. He's through to the fourth round.

Anywho, that's all from us. Thanks for joining us throughout the day. We joined it and we'll see you in about 12 hours for day seven! Until then....
