Edmund 7-6 (7-0) 3-6 4-6 6-0 4-3 Basilashvili*
Those backing the Georgian have woken up from their heat-induced snooze in the crowd. Basilashvili gets a great reception as he takes the first point. Even Basilashvili's coach has an ice towel around his neck. He's not even playing!
Well done, Kyle Edmund. He sees another winner whistle by but closes out the game with an ace out wide.
