  2. Game and second set - Ramos-Vinolaspublished at 11:42 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2018

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 6-4 Broady

    Up to the net comes Liam Broady, looking for the backhand volley - and he nets!

    He had to work for it, but Albert Ramos-Vinolas has won the second set. He promptly gets an earful from his captain for drawing it out for so long.

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 5-4 Broady*

    Liam Broady hangs in to a rally for as long as he can, before Ramos-Vinolas decides he's had enough and whirls a forehand away in response.

    Set point number six (six!) for the Spaniard...

  4. Britain save five set pointspublished at 11:39 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2018

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 5-4 Broady*

    Aggression and perhaps a hint of frustration from Ramos-Vinolas, as he sends Broady one way and thwacks a winner the other.

    And once again, Broady recovers well to save the point! A serve out wide is chased down by Ramos-Vinolas, and Broady has ample to time to hit his return winner.

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 5-4 Broady*

    Set point number four now for Ramos-Vinolas... and it's gone begging again!

    He gets down low, and spanks his backhand into the net. Back to 40-40 we go.

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 5-4 Broady*

    Ooft. What a miss from Ramos-Vinolas!

    An eminently hittable second serve is whipped, almost lazily, out of bounds. Deuce!

    Smash from Broady, right up at the net, drags proceedings to 30-40.

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 5-4 Broady*

    Up on one knee goes Ramos-Vinolas, and out goes his backhand! One set point saved, two more to go.

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 5-4 Broady*

    A little too big from Liam Broady, as a flat backhand goes spiralling over the tramlines for 0-30.

    Ooft. That's a poor return from Broady, the ball thudding into the middle of the net, and once again, Ramos-Vinolas has three set points...

    Important service game for Broady, now - he needs to hold to stay in this set.

    It was a crisis game for Ramos-Vinolas and he became more aggressive. It's an interesting chess game going on. It's a good performance from Broady.

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 5-4 Broady*

    Another big forehand from Ramos-Vinolas, spinning away from Broady, and the Brit can't get racquet on it.

    Down the line goes Broady with his backhand, but he's overworked it! A very, very good hold for Spain.

    Excellent from Broady, pushing Ramos-Vinolas to his right and walloping a winner to teh left. He pumps his fist towards his team, who are on their feet.

    Break point number two - saved with a shimmy to the net by Ramos-Vinolas!

    As you were.

    *Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 4-4 Broady

    Another long rally, Ramos-Vinolas dragging Broady back and forth - and there goes the forehand winner!

    Deuce.

    *Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 4-4 Broady

    Everything is against Ramos-Vinolas at the minute, including the net, as his forehand hits the tape and drops on the wrong side.

    He stares at the heavens as Broady darts cross court and unfurls a backhand winner past his nose, before another backhand drifts long!

    Hello, break point for GB...

    About 15 minutes ago, Liam Broady flicked a switch and thought 'I'm going to take my game to him'. What a difference it's made.

    This is the view from the press seats at the Puente Romano Tennis Club with Albert Ramos-Vinolas somewhere down there in the shadow of the palm trees.

    It’s actually a very atmospheric venue with the two giant grandstands rising up either side of the sunken court to give the arena a real Colosseum feel.

    And the battle lines are very clearly drawn in the stands between the Spanish red and yellow and Britain’s red, white and blue with the vaguely comic choruses of chanting rushed in between each point to encourage the players.

    *Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 4-4 Broady

    More good work from Liam Broady up at the net gets him on the board, before successive smashes leave his opponent stranded at the back of the court.

    Broady sprints to meet a drop shot, tonks his return over... and Ramos-Vinolas spears his response long! The Brit holds.

  20. Postpublished at 11:20 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2018

    Ramos-Vinolas 6-3 4-3 Broady*

    A flatter return from Ramos-Vinolas, and Broady steps in and cracks a forehand winner away for 30-15.

    Ramos-Vinolas gets a bit tight and coughs up another double fault, but he holds as a big backhand from Broady is called long.
