    *Fearnley 3-5 Etcheverry

    Jacob Fearnley has already saved three set points but he's not out of this service game yet.

    Saved again! A timely first serve from Jacob Fearnley, who then drags his opponent to the other side of the court and watches the reply dribble into the net.

    Choinski 3-6 1-6 3-2 Van de Zandschulp*

    Jan Choinski rips a forehand winner down the line, but he can't pull ahead for long, with Botic van de Zandschulp replying with a cross-court backhand winner into the corner for 30-30.

    But Choinski holds firm on the next two points, patiently trading blows from the baseline and waiting for Van de Zandschulp to make this mistake, which he does eventually.

    *Fearnley 3-5 Etcheverry

    Jacob Fearnley pulls the game back to deuce but then produces another double fault in a huge moment.

    Advantage Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

  7. Set points Etcheverrypublished at 19:10 BST

    *Fearnley 3-5 Etcheverry

    Down 0-30, Jacob Fearnley drives Tomas Martin Etcheverry wider and wider off court on his backhand side with an assault of cross-court forehands before winning the point with a smash.

    On the next point, his forehand sits up off the net cord and is quickly hunted down by Etcheverry for a short cross-court winner.

    Two set points.

    *Choinski 3-6 1-6 2-2 Van de Zandschulp

    Jan Choinski lets out a frustrated cry as he plants what should be a simple backhand shot straight into the net.

    He has improved over the last few games, but Botic van de Zandschulp's level hasn't dropped much and the Dutchman holds.

  9. Fearnley serving to stay in first setpublished at 19:07 BST

    *Fearnley 3-5 Etcheverry

    Jacob Fearnley once again gets a foothold in his opponent's service game, leading 15-30 after following a very deep return into the net and forcing an error, but he can't pounce.

    Tomas Martin Etcheverry secures the hold to 30 with a hefty T serve which is returned into the net and lets out a gruff "come on!".

  10. Choinski holds servepublished at 19:03 BST

    Choinski 3-6 1-6 2-1 Van de Zandschulp*

    Jan Choinski is called out with a foot-fault, which rattles him enough to double fault and hand over another break point opportunity to Botic van de Zandschulp.

    For once, though he can't make the most of it and Choinski recovers to nudge ahead in the set.

  11. Fearnley holds servepublished at 19:02 BST

    Fearnley 3-4 Etcheverry*

    More pressure on Jacob Fearnley's serve as Tomas Martin Etcheverry fights back from 40-0 down with some bludgeoned baseline strokes to close to within one point.

    However, Fearnley catches him off balance with a short forehand to complete the hold.

  12. Etcheverry holds servepublished at 18:59 BST

    *Fearnley 2-4 Etcheverry

    This time it's Tomas Martin Etcheverry's turn for a double fault - 0-30.

    He shows a glimmer of his class, biding his time in a lengthy baseline exchange before whipping through a forehand winner, and levels the game with a timely first serve which is returned into the net.

    Another forehand winner, this one a rocket of a one-two punch off a T serve, completes the hold for the 27th seed.

    We've seen very few winners early in this match so that game was a much-needed tonic.

  13. Van de Zandschulp holds servepublished at 18:59 BST

    *Choinski 3-6 1-6 1-1 Van de Zandschulp

    Jan Choinski opens up a half-chance for himself at 30-30, but he can't disguise a drop shot and Botic van de Zandschulp meets it comfortably before swatting away a winner into the open court.

    And there's no looking back for the former US Open quarter-finalist.

    Russian 23rd seed Andrey Rublev is out after losing in four sets to Spain's Daniel Merida on Court 11.

    Merida who is ranked 39th in the world, reaches the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time and sets up a contest against American Alex Michelsen.

    Hopefully in the back of Jacob Fearnley's mind is an awareness of his opponent and what he can do and is comfortable with but also maybe not so comfortably doing - which is when Etcheverry is attacked, he drifts way deeper behind the baseline just to give himself more time to see the ball and to try and load up.

    I expect if Fearnley does get to net, that we're going to see a few drop volleys put in play.

  16. Choinski holds servepublished at 18:54 BST

    Choinski 3-6 1-6 0-0 Van de Zandschulp*

    Good serving from Jan Choinski, but it's still a squeeze for the British number one as he gets on the board with hold to 30. No games are coming easy for him.

  17. Etcheverry breakspublished at 18:52 BST

    Fearnley 2-3 Etcheverry*

    Jacob Fearnley sees off the first two break points but then shanks a forehand high and long off a deep return.

    Third time lucky for Tomas Martin Etcheverry? You bet! Double fault number three. Fearnley's serve is very problematic.

  18. Break points Etcheverrypublished at 18:50 BST

    *Fearnley 2-2 Etcheverry

    Oop, a second double fault of the match from Jacob Fearnley. 0-15.

    Tomas Martin Etcheverry torments the Brit on the baseline before advancing menacingly on a sliced backhand and unleashing a forehand winner.

    Fearnley then sends a cross-court forehand wide for 15-40.

    I might need a keyboard shortcut for 'break point' before the end of this match.

    *Choinski 3-6 1-6 0-0 Van de Zandschulp

    Jan Choinski tries to make a dent on Botic van de Zandschulp's serve and gets to 30-30, but the Dutch player brings up set point with a piercing down-the-line winner.

    And he finishes it off with a second-serve ace down the T.

    We've only just passed the hour mark.

    *Fearnley 2-2 Etcheverry

    He roars.
