Edmund holds.

This match has suddenly become rather more interesting.

Edmund has not let that level rediscovered in the sixth game drop.

A winner down the line is followed up with a volleyed winner at the net.

40-15.

Andujar holds - brilliant from the Spaniard.

Edmund must have thought he had the break in the bag there.

The gutsy Spaniard saves both as Edmund produces a 60th unforced error in this match.

The first is saved as Andujar comes to the net and puts away a winner.

Edmund then comes out on top a baseline rally and Andujar fires wide.

Two break points.

A great opening point on the first Andujar serve - a punchy forehand.

He follows that up with a backhand winner.

0-30.

Is it back Kyle? Is it back?

Edmund eventually holds to 30 with an ace.

Second wind, Kyle?

Andujar raises one of the biggest cheers of the day with a scintillating winner down the line.

0-15.

But Edmund bites back and goes 30-15 with a forehand winner before an ace brings up game point.

Edmund goes long from the baseline and gesticulates to himself - the frustrated kind.

He seemed to feel he had a good chance to break the Spaniard in that game.

Andujar's energy levels seem much higher than Edmund's which is especially evident when we get into rallies.

The Brit goes long and it's 30-15.

Pablo Andujar was as high as 33 in the world in 2012 - admittedly seven years ago.

Injuries have hampered perhaps what might have been a more fruitful career.

But hey, he's in the first round of the US Open and 2-1 up in sets against the 30th seed.

Edmund holds.

Andujar holds to 15.

Was that applause?

Nope, was perhaps we were hearing things.

Kyle Edmund needs all the help he can get at the moment - so luckily there are a few Brits in the Flushing Meadows crowd trying to offer some morale support.

That includes Gail and David Campbell, a couple from Ayrshire who are over in the States celebrating their ruby wedding anniversary. That's FORTY years!

"Of course it is a special landmark so we wanted to do a special trip," Gail says.

"We have been here in New York for a week and a half and are here at the US Open for three days - and we might come back later in the week for the doubles."

And that's not all. "We're going to see The Who at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. then going to Philadelphia," adds a smiling David.

And what about that belter of a hat, Gail? "When I retired the girls at work made it and I took it when we went to the Australian Open.

"Then I went to Wimbledon for the first time this year so the hat went here too and now it's here.

"Originally it had four balls across the front because it said Andy - for Murray of course - but it was too heavy so we adapted it a wee bit!"

Better from Edmund as he continues with his tactic of moving to the net.

It's 40-30 before Andujar launches a double-hander from the baseline against the cord.

A very good hold from the Briton, having been in more than just a spot of bother.

Pablo Andujar reads Edmund's intention to reduce the space at the net and produces a brilliant passing winner.

0-15.

0-30.

Worrying signs for the British number one.

There were 20 unforced errors from Edmund in that set.

He's managed 53 in the entire match.

Andujar races to 40-0 and converts his first set-point chance.

Edmund slumped head, slumping shoulders.
