    Uh-oh.

    Not only does Kyle Edmund give up the break point, he barely gets a half-hearted lunge in after Verdasco's winner.

    Verdasco serves for the set next...

    We're at deuce for the seventh time in a 13-minute epic game - roughly the length of a Bernard Tomic set yesterday. Lopez still hanging on.

    A glorious, vintage-Verdasco forehand is uncorked down the line to move 40-15 up, before Kyle Edmund chokes his own effort into the bottom of the net.

    This service games are passing by at speed and without much of a threat of a break.

    There's a moment of hope coming back. I'd like the crowd to pick up a bit and support their main man, I suppose most of them are British.

    Kyle Edmund whisks through his service hold to love. His movement is not that slick though.

    You feel his chances of winning get slimmer the longer the match goes.

    Tenth seed Karen Khachanov lost the first set against Queen's champion Feliciano Lopez but has turned it around. He has had three chances to win the match in an epic 10th game of the fourth set which has lasted seven minutes and counting.

    But we're still at deuce though, with Khachanov two points from the win.

    Fernando is looking better than Kyle in my eyes. I think Kyle is holding on. He wants to close it in four but Fernando is looking much better. He's even had a smile on his face.

    Kyle has had his chances, but Fernando looks the stronger player at this stage.

    Fernando Verdasco for once has the net cord allied to his cause. Kyle Edmund has previously had the wire on his side, but a lucky snick puts the Spaniard 40-15 to the good.

    A lovely dusted forehand puts Verdasco over the line and back to his stool.

    Kyle Edmund completes his escape and Fernando Verdasco unleashes a volley of Spanish towards his box.

    I'd suggest that, given the volume and passion behind it, that it was definitely north of PG certification wise.

    Fernando Verdasco stops mid-rally when break point up, believing, perhaps wishing, that an Edmund forehand was long.

    Hawk-Eye brutally reveals that it is was definitely in.

    An entertaining rally of bluff, slice and possum-playing ends with Fernando Verdasco walking in behind the slice and slam-dunking away the smash.

    Edmund over-cooks on the next point.

    Break point Verdasco. In comes Edmund, up goes the lob and it is...pregnant pause for dramatic effect..long.

    Deuce.

    Edmund is not moving well between points. But a couple of errors from the Verdasco racquet gave him a big opportunity.

    Just when it seemed as though the match might be slipping away, Edmund takes back control.

    That's the way to do it!

    Kyle Edmund crowbars his way to 30-40 and break point.

    Fernando Verdasco is pummelling forehands in the next rally, but Edmund is hunkered down and defending deep.

    And then comes the counter!

    Verdasco stretching to get back, Edmund into the net, the winner pinged away and the British number one is back on serve.

  16. 'Too many errors'published at 17:07 British Summer Time 3 July 2019

    Watson 5-7 1-6 Kontaveit

    Some quotes from Britain's Heather Watson, who lost 7-5 6-1 against 20th seed Anett Knotaveit earlier today.

    "I thought I was too defensive," says Watson. "I didn't use my variety enough, coming to the net. I came to the net twice and won both points. Usually I like to hit drop-shots. I'm not a power baseliner. I use my variety to help me win these matches, but I let her dictate play.

    "That first set, I had so many chances, but wasn't able to play aggressive tennis and get there. I went on the back foot and made too many errors. After that first set, I don't feel I changed a lot - she relaxed, stepped up her level, and didn't give me a look in."

    That is the kind of look that Fernando Verdasco could dig.

    Especially with a double fault to accessorise.

    Collective groans of concern over Kyle Edmund's knee treatment - but hopefully this might offer some comfort... he had treatment on his right knee here but it was his left knee that he has had previous problems with.

    Also, he seems to be moving a lot better after that physio stop.
