The fourth set was one turbulent affair. Firstly, Dzumhur collided with a poor ball boy, then having just missed a chance to break, the 26-year-old took a bite from the net tape. However, the world No.29 was soon smiling as a rocket forehand chalked up a 3-2 break lead. Back soared Zverev as the enthralled crowd conjured up quite the atmosphere. A tie-break was required and the second seed controlled proceedings to haul the match into a deciding set.
