The second set continued in a similar fashion to the first with both players giving little away on their own serve, but it was Sijsling who broke in the 11th game before serving out the set 7-5.

Tsonga improved his game in the deciding set, breaking in the fourth game to move 3-1 ahead.

The number four seed maintained his advantage to wrap up the set and seal his progression into the next round.
