3-6 - Djokovic eases through to the semis, where it's shaping up to be a big guns showdown.
3-5 - AND THERE IT IS. It was inevitable really. Djokovic has the break and will serve for the match.
3-4 - Djokovic bags another service game without much fuss and on we go.
3-3 - Still with serve we go.
2-3 - Big forehand winner from Djokovic, which gallops down the line and away. Still with serve.
2-2 - Montanes does well to pull even once more. I'd be happy to eat my words if he makes a match of this.
1-2 - Bish, bash, bosh. Djokovic holds.
1-1 - Credit were credit's due. Montanes holds serve are another heavy bout of deuce.
0-1 - Deft drop-shot from Djokovic. Call me crazy, but this match is as good as over and we're only a game into the second set. Montanes is being outclassed.
0-1 - Thank goodness for that. Djokovic EVENTUALLY wins two in a row to break the monotony.
0-0 - Marathon opening game. We've gone deuce crazy.
2-6 - Easy! Easy! Easy! Djokovic waltzes/strolls/eases/cruises (delete as appropriate) into a one-set lead.
2-5 - Comfortable for Djokovic. Montanes needs to hold to stay in the set.
2-4 - OOOOHHHHHH!!!! A through-the-legs - part of any self-respecting tournament montage - beauty from Djokovic, but it's just wide.
2-4 - Djokovic breaks! He has the momentum now.
2-3 - Djokovic completes an easy hold with a rollicking smash. "Have some of that," he's thinking.
2-2 - Montanes is holding his own so far. Both players are serious putting their strings to ball. Some monumental ball whacking going on.
1-2 - Djokovic gets a quickfire hold under his belt. This match is going at quite some lick.
1-1 - Djokovic levels with a break of his own. "Right back at ya!" he probably says under his breath.
1-0 - The winner here will face Carlos Moya or Rafa Nadal in the semis by the way.
1-0 - WELL WELL WELL!!! Montanes has a break in the opening game.
- - Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE!! coverage of Novak Djokovic v Albert Montanes in the quarter-finals of the Hamburg Masters.
