There was nothing predictable about this rally between Novak Djokovic and Jan-Lennard Struff, apart from who won it perhaps.

The biggest story of the day was the third-round encounter between Adrian Mannarino and Alexander Zverev, which was delayed by three hours after health officials tried to stop Mannarino playing.
The Frenchman is one of the players who had been exposed to Benoit Paire, who tested positive for coronavirus on the eve of the tournament, and officials said he should have been quarantining in his hotel room. After plenty of to-ing and fro-ing the match eventually went ahead, with Zverev winning in four sets.
