Tie-break time.
Dan Evans with wrists of steel and a touch of silk at the net as he drops a delicious drop-volley away for 40-0 and then foxes his man with a disguised drop-shot.

Rachel Bannister: The longest journey back from London as a result of train delays being helped by keeping up to date with Dan Evans.

Evans 6-4 3-6 7-6 (8-6) 5-6 Wawrinka
Stan Wawrinka wrestles the game his way and punches the air with delight.
The Louis Armstrong crowd seem to be in his corner.
But Evans is still slugging.
He held up better in the third-set tie-break.
If he holds serve here, he is into another for the biggest win of his career.
If he drops serve, we are into a fifth and deciding set.
Gulp.
