  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  4. 'We're going to see a few drop volleys'published at 18:55 BST

    Fearnley 2-3 Etcheverry*

    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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Game and second set - Botic van de Zandschulppublished at 18:48 BST

    *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.

  9. Etcheverry holds servepublished at 18:47 BST

    *Fearnley 2-2 Etcheverry

    Tomas Martin Etcheverry saves two break points, nails a wide serve which Jacob Fearnley deflects long, and seals his first hold of the match with a ferocious ace out wide.

    He roars.

  10. Break points Fearnleypublished at 18:45 BST

    Fearnley 2-1 Etcheverry*

    Tomas Martin Etcheverry has produced a couple of standout shots early in this match, this time bending a forehand pass around Jacob Fearnley for 15-all. He was trapped several feet behind the baseline by the advancing Brit at the time.

    But errors are still flying from his racquet and a down-the-line backhand dragged into the tramlines presents Fearnley with another two break points.

  11. Van de Zandschulp breakspublished at 18:44 BST

    Choinski 3-6 1-5 Van de Zandschulp*

    A big forehand winner by Botic van de Zandschulp gets it done at the first time of asking and he'll now serve for a very convincing two-set lead.

  12. Break points Van de Zandschulppublished at 18:43 BST

    *Choinski 3-6 1-4 Van de Zandschulp

    This match has been short on exciting winners, but Botic van de Zandschulp is upping his tally now.

    A winner down the line is followed by two Jan Choinski misses into the net, gifting the Dutchman three break points.

  13. Van de Zandschulp holds servepublished at 18:41 BST

    *Choinski 3-6 1-4 Van de Zandschulp

    Jan Choinski wins his first point on Botic van de Zandschulp's serve in this second set with a brilliant on-the-run forehand winner.

    It's the only point he gets though, with the Dutchman landing an equally impressive winner to wrap up the hold.

  14. 'Van de Zandschulp has a few options'published at 18:40 BST

    It's hard going for Choinski when he hits the ball so cleanly and solidly out of the middle of the racket, but he does just take up position behind the basline and Van de Zandschulp has a few options there - he can either go toe-to-toe or he can fade back even when he's returning serve, as he's probably aware that Choinski's not going to serve-and-volley.

  15. Fearnley holds servepublished at 18:40 BST

    Fearnley 2-1 Etcheverry*

    A small shake of the fist from Jacob Fearnley after saving a break point and coming through deuce to hold.

    Both players are still trying to find their radar out on court 12.

  16. Break point Etcheverrypublished at 18:38 BST

    *Fearnley 1-1 Etcheverry

    Shot! Lovely combination from Tomas Martin Etcheverry to drag Jacob Fearnley wide on his forehand before tonking a forehand winner into the opposite corner, kissing the tramline.

    Break point. 30-40.

  17. Van de Zandschulp breaks first in second setpublished at 18:37 BST

    Choinski 3-6 1-3 Van de Zandschulp*

    Botic van de Zandschulp goes long on the first break point, giving Jan Choinski a glimmer of hope, but the British number three responds with an untimely double fault.

    It's just not going his way today.

  18. Break points Van de Zandschulppublished at 18:36 BST

    *Choinski 3-6 1-2 Van de Zandschulp

    Ah dear. A 17th unforced error from Jan Choinski gifts Botic van de Zandschulp the chance to strike first in this second set.

    Two break points.

  19. Fearnley breaks backpublished at 18:35 BST

    *Fearnley 1-1 Etcheverry

    Alas, Jacob Fearnley can't capitalise on his first two break points, missing a couple of returns.

    He earns a third bite of the cherry when Tomas Martin Etcheverry overcooks a backhand and this time, it goes his way, the 27th seed netting a backhand.

    We're back on serve and the unforced error count (six apiece) is flying!

  20. Van de Zandschulp holds to lovepublished at 18:33 BST

    *Choinski 3-6 1-2 Van de Zandschulp

    Jan Choinski just isn't able to lay a finger on Botic van de Zandschulp's serve at the moment. Another love hold for the Dutchman.
