    Edmund's backhand has really improved over the last few years and he can go toe-to-toe with anyone.

    *Cuevas 4-4 Edmund

    One member of the crowd is nodding in approval as Edmund fights through the game. Quite right too. There were a couple of lengthy rallies there by the Briton was nerveless. We're all square for the first time since this match began.

    Cuevas 4-3 Edmund*

    There's the first bark of encouragement from Pablo Cuevas. He retrieves one back from in front of the eyes of the spectators in the front row and forces Edmund to make an error. Here's a break point for the Uruguayan.

    Very well played Kyle Edmund. That was a great moment to get back into this first set.

    Cuevas 4-3 Edmund*

    And now the Cuevas forehand falters. He goes long and British number one Kyle Edmund is back on terms. There's a little clench of the fist from the Yorkshireman.

    *Cuevas 4-2 Edmund

    Well played, Kyle! He has his back against the backboard, even pushing himself off it at one stage, but fights to stay in the rally to earn his first break point....

    I'm surprised that Cuevas has never got beyond the third round here, but he is certainly not someone to be underestimated.

    *Cuevas 4-2 Edmund

    Is this a chance for Kyle Edmund? He's battled his way to deuce in this Cuevas service game.

    If you want to, you can play on clay all year round and there are a group of players that only play on hard or grass courts when they need to and Cuevas seems to be one of those players.

    He is coming in with an awful lot of wins, even if they have not been of the highest calibre.

    Osaka* 1-5 Azarenka

    At last, Osaka is on the board as she holds serve in the fifth game.

    But Azarenka is on fire this morning. She goes 5-1 up and is showing no sign of relenting.

    *Cuevas 4-2 Edmund

    This Cuevas backhand is stunning. He steps in and caresses one into the corner. Edmund doesn't even bother chasing it down.

    The British number one fires down a few big serve though - that'll surely be an important shot for him today - and he holds for the second game in a row.

    Cuevas 4-1 Edmund*

    Edmund is almost out of sight when returning serve on the side closest the camera. He's way back in the court in the attempt to deal with the spin and clay-court expertise of Pablo Cuevas. Edmund's groundstrokes start to warm up a little but the Uruguayan is still able to hold.

    We all know how big the Edmund forehand is and if he can drag Cuevas out of court that will give him more space so that is what he should be doing.

    To nab a line from my BBC Radio 5 live colleague Russell Fuller, Pablo Cuevas is a "clay-court bunny".

    And here's the evidence: the Uruguayan has reached 10 ATP Tour finals and nine of them have been on this surface.

    All six of his titles - scattered across 500 and 250 events - have been on the clay.

    *Cuevas 3-1 Edmund

    Kyle Edmund has looked a little moody so far. He's dragging himself around the court but ends this game with a powerful forehand winner. That should cheer him up. The British number one is on the board.

    Kyle has started a bit slowly which is a bit disappointing considering how he started against Jeremy Chardy. I would like to see him be the aggressor out here.

    Cuevas 3-0 Edmund*

    Kyle Edmund is being dragged all over the place already. A Cuevas serve kicks horribly high to the backhand, almost pushing Kedders back onto the backboard. Cuevas follows that with a spinning forehand to the other corner which Edmund can't return despite a stretch and a slide.

    Cuevas is in the groove early.

    Osaka 0-3 Azarenka*

    The Paris clay really isn't Naomi Osaka's friend at the moment.

    She's 3-0 down to Victoria Azarenka, having hit seven unforced errors so far. Ouch...

    Kyle Edmund is again wearing that head-dizzying flowered shirt and spotted shorts combo.

    "You get what you're given," he shrugged after his opening win.

    Apparently the shirt is inspired by the French Revolution, although Edmund says he didn't know why.

    "It isn't my strongest subject," he added dryly.
