Only a mishit return winner from Flanagan prevents Grosjean from notching up another love service game.

Flanagan 0-3 Grosjean
The Briton gives his confidence a much-needed boost by hitting two straight winners for a 30-15 lead on the Grosjean serve. He twice makes it deuce, firstly with a fierce return and then with a superb lob which even Grosjean applauds, but the Frenchman hangs on.

Flanagan 0-2 Grosjean
A nervy Flanagan makes four errors from the baseline, allowing Grosjean to break to love.

Flanagan 0-1 Grosjean
Flanagan wins the toss and elects to receive against the fifth seed. Grosjean unleashes his first forehand winner to move to 40-0, and though Flanagan saves the first game point with a sizzling forehand of his own, the Frenchman holds comfortably.
