...
It's a straight sets win here for Andy Murray, with no real challenge from Rublev in the end.
...
Rublev is bageled in the second, as Murray leads 6-3, 6-0.
...
It's run away now for Rublev, and even he knows it's done. 
...
There's a lovely rally from the teen to set up a point but he sends one wide and loses it, sadly.
...
Early break for Murray in the second. 1-0 and Rublev is on his guard now.
...
Fun fact. Andrey Rublev used to be in a One Direction cover band. 
...
News coming in now of yet another upset. Briton Dan Evans has taken the biggest win of his career based on ranking, beating Marin Cilic, the 7th seed, 

Dan Evans beats Marin Cilic 3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3.


...
Andy Murray's leading Rublev 5-3 in the first set, meaning that Rublev's mounted quite a fight. The youngster plays some great defensive tennis and mark our words, the teen is one to look out for.
...
But wait a second... back to that Kyrgios match. He tried tweeners, running shots, all of it and it almost looked like Kyrgios had won. 

Seppi serves for the match - and wins 10-8 in the fifth! 
...
Murray is playing attacking tennis, but 19-year-old Rublev is not bad at defense! He gets to Murray's shot and tries to return, but sends the backhand slice too flat - and nets it! Murray is up an early break at 4-2. 
...
Scores are at 1-1, and Murray's sending crosscourt forehands to successfully confuse Rublev. The teen is great on his returns, but seems to be having a few teething troubles. Understandable given the pressure of the stage, add to that the gravity of his opponent...
...
Rublev manages to hold his first game quickly to love. Really great stuff from the teen here under the immense pessure of playing the World No. 1.
...
Andy Murray's up against Russian youngster Andrey Rublev. The No. 1 starts off serve, and there's a great return from his rival! 
...
...
Kyrgios is managing a couple of aces, but he's admitting defeat mentally, it seems. 
...
...
And Seppi lives! He wins the third set 6-4 and Kyrgios is being pushed to his limit now.
...
Kyrgios' match is getting tighter and tighter. He's up two sets to love, but the second went to tiebreak and the third looks to be going the same way. Can Seppi, a giant-killer on his best day, force another one?
...
Garbine Muguruza, 2016 French Open, is hoping to equalize here against American Samantha Crawford. 
...
Aussie home favourite Nick Kyrgios is up a set on Andreas Seppi 
...
Federer's next opponent, Tomas Berdych, has taken a 6-3, 7-6, 6-2 over Ryan Harrison! 
...
Good day for Swiss fans - 4th seed Wawrinka beats Steve Johnson of the USA 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
...
Game, Set, Match Roger Federer 7-5, 6-3, 7-6(3)! 
...
Match point Roger Federer! And he slots it in for the WIN! Roger Federer beats Noah Rubin in straight sets!
