    Dan Evans likes to shout - at himself. “COME ON. DAN. COME ON.”

    Between points, he’s cracking jokes with Liam Broady, who is stood just a few metres away from me overlooking the court.

    Evans was made to work much harder for that second set, but he’s got it (finally!). Cue huge roar erupting from the stands and Evans punching the air in delight/relief.

    That was a great shot by Dan Evans, dipping it down right near the Argentinian's feet, to take the tie break.

    That's a huge sigh of relief for the man from Birmingham.

    So that's where the Duchess of Cambridge went...

    If you look very hard at this photo you will see Fed Cup captain Anne Keothavong (orange/red dress) keeping an eye on the Dart match from the balcony.

    She had a courtside seat before but lost it when she left with the Duchess of Cambridge.

    There's a real contrast in personalities between Dan Evans and Federico Delbonis.

    You can't tell what the Argentine is thinking whereas Evans wears his heart firmly on his sleeve.

    Dan Evans was very happy with the way he served there, though, and we're into a tie-break.

    De Minaur 6-0 6-4 1-0 *Cecchinato

    For all the column inches generated by Australian wild child Kyrgios, the national number one down under is Alex De Minaur.

    The 20-year-old world number 29 is two sets up on Italy's Marco Cecchinato.

    Finally Harriet Dart gets the break that she hasn’t threatened for so long.

    Perhaps it’s because she’s not under a royal gaze anymore?

    She was really starting to look frustrated in that last game - greeting one simple backhand into the net with a “Really?!”

    Dart 4-6 2-2 McHale*

    British number three Harriet Dart and Christina McHale have traded breaks in the second set. The American took the opener 6-4, and it's now 2-2 and back on serve in the second.

    Are you not entertained? Nick Kyrgios is putting on a show both with his exuberant antics between points and his classy ground strokes during them. He's a set up against fellow Australian Jordan Thompson, and leads 2-1 on serve in the second.

    The Duchess of Cambridge has left Court 14 - and this is now holding things up as a load of people are trying to get into the seats.

    “Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats quickly please,” the umpire urges when McHale has to delay her serve.

    And Dart has just secured a break of serve in the second set.

    In a bid to cover all of the Brits in action, I’ve headed to Court 17 where James Ward is a set up on Nikoloz Basilashvili.

    It’s taken me a good five minutes to find a good viewing spot though, the crowds are a good five-person deep around the court, and at 5ft3 tall, I need to be at the front!

    I’m having to watch through the flowers, though. Makes for a nice photo, at least - thanks to Mark, for ushering me through to the front. He’s been coming here for 45 consecutive years!

    There hasn't been a hint of a break of serve in this second set so far.

    Dan Evans serves out to make it 4-4 with ease.

    Mertens 6-2 6-0 Ferro

    The first player back to the winners enclosure and the press centre for the media debrief in Belgium's Elise Mertens.

    She broke serve six times on her way to a 6-2 6-0 win over Fiona Ferro in 49 minutes.

    Kyrgios 7-6 (7-4) Thompson

    Why?! Nick Kyrgios, with a great chance to win a vital point in the tie-break as he meets a short ball with Jordan Thompson at the net, goes for 'tweener... and shanks it wide.

    Bizarre, but probably to be expected from the unpredictable Aussie.

    No bother. Kyrgios serves out the tie-break to take the first set, having been an early break down.

    Dart 4-6 McHale

    Harriet Dart will be ruing those missed opportunities to break, as she loses the first set 6-4 to American Christiana McHale. It was a set of missed opportunities, really - the British number three failing to take any of her five break points while McHale took one from five, and it proved crucial.
