    Excellent hold from Jan-Lennard after saving break point - he's made of sterner Struff... uh, I'll get my coat.

    Massive body serve from Jan-Lennard Struff to save. An ace gets another "let's go", but then the German pops a volley into the tramlines from close range.

    Deuce.

    Now it's Jan-Lennard Struff tugging a wayward backhand off target, he follows up with another that's called long - Hawk-Eye says it kissed the chalk.

    But now it's break point Fed.

    Struff has got more confidence now, he's going after the ball, making things happen. Good by him.

    Federer 6-3 3-3 Struff*

    Jan-Lennard Struff strides into a grunting-backhand winner at mid-court. Just the one giant step needed for the big man to reach that ball.

    He's making Roger Federer work for this.

    The Swiss blocks a return back likes it's a forward defensive. Reckon this lad would make a decent cricketer too...

    Federer scrambles to 30-30 only to shoot just wide with break point looming.

    Two brilliant cross-court winners from Mihaela Buzarnescu puts her love 30-0 up but she overcooks a return from the baseline and then Karolina Pliskova bravely advances to claim a winner at the net. 30-30. Then at deuce, Pliskova produces two big serves when it matters, taking the game with an ace.

    All square.

    Federer 6-3 3-3 Struff*

    Has Roger Federer got a play date with the twins this evening? He's steaming through service games at the minute.

    The Swiss looks to mix it up with some serve and volley tactics, but finds a punchy Struff return zipping past him.

    No bother, he holds.

  10. Postpublished at 18:27 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    *Federer 6-3 2-3 Struff

    Great depth from Jan-Lennard Struff on his backhand side. Roger Federer responds by giving the German the eyes, and wrong-footing him with a slapping forehand.

    "Let's go..." says Struff, in response to coming out on top of a battling point and it remains on serve in the second set.

  11. Postpublished at 18:25 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Pliskova 3-6 4-5 Buzarnescu

    Mihaela Buzarnescu has done well to regain her composure. The 30-year-old's serve is put under pressure by Karolina Pliskova but she manages to squeeze through a service game. Pliskova has to keep her nerve now.

  12. Postpublished at 18:23 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Federer 6-3 2-2 Struff*

    Plenty of zip in the Federer groundstrokes, as the headband-topped defending champion pulls his opponent one way and then the next.

    Struff steps into the court on the next point to meet a short ball full on and pound it back with interest.

    It's another quick hold for Federer, though.

  13. Postpublished at 18:20 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Pliskova 3-6 3-4 Buzarnescu

    Mihaela Buzarnescu angrily pulls a ball out of her pocket smashes it into the turf and it loops up into the stands. The Romanian then snatches her towel off one of the ball boys. It's her reaction to losing a service game to Karolina Pliskova. Back on serve.

    *Federer 6-3 1-2 Struff

    What a shot from the giant German to take arguably the best point of the match so far.

    Jan-Lennard Struff steals a page from the Roger Federer recipe book and rustles up a superb slice of his own. It stops almost dead.

    But he can't back it up... almost like he's angered the beast, as Federer wins back-to-back points.

    A mammoth ace puts that right, with a forehand winner to follow. Better from Struff.

  16. Postpublished at 18:17 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Federer 6-3 1-1 Struff*

    Hang about, Roger Federer takes a on a volley that looked to be going long and wide and sizzles in a top-spin forehand winner. It's like garden tennis.

    The Swiss leans back to meet another forehand from the spot, this time after it's bounced, and wraps it down the line.

    Game Fed.

    Good response from Jan-Lennard Struff, scrambling back to hold.

    It is a tall order for Stuff to get back into this match. He needs to impose his will and belief. Federer will feel if you believe you can do it, and feed off that.

  19. Postpublished at 18:13 British Summer Time 6 July 2018

    Federer 6-3 0-0 Struff*

    Jan-Lennard Struff didn't seem to do too much wrong in that first set, he just met a Roger Federer in determined mood - and you feel the Swiss hasn't even really started yet.

    He sees a forehand called long, challenges... but the call was correct.

    Federer pops one deep, sprints to the net and meets a volley at shoulder height - Struff can't get enough purchase to help it back.

    The defending champion senses another opportunity at 15-30, but finds himself on the end of a Struff zinger.
