    Oooops, someone got a little excited behind Struff's baseline at 30-40. They thought Evans' return was long. It wasn't. Not sure if that put Struff off as his next groundstroke went wide for deuce. The German didn't cast a frosty glare if it did. Ultimately it proved irrelevant.

    The German's service accuracy returns in time as he closes out.

    Evans must now hold or it's match over.

    Evans turns up the volume in a quiet rally with a shot that sends his opponent uncomfortably wide.

    Deuce.

    And he still might regain it.

    The German finds the net as his approach at the net goes wrong.

    40-30.

    Struff snatches again as his backhand comes off the net.

    Better from the German whose angled backhand return is too hot.

    However, another great serve from Evans sees him hold.

    So...that did prove to be quite easy.

    The good news for Evans is he's been able to apply pressure on Struff's service games, he has made him work for them.

    *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 3-4 Struff

    Another ace and it's advantage before Evans' slice from the back lands long.

    If Evans holds fairly easily then I can see him breaking Struff in the next.

    Oh Dan!

    The Briton comes to the net and should have made the winner with a slice but he goes for the angle rather than one down the line.

    40-30.

    But...but...Struff goes long.

    An ace helps ease the tension.

    30s each.

    15-15 as the German comes into the net but his angled shot lands wide.

    Struff then gets his attempted volley at the net all very wrong.

    15-30.

    Has the Briton rediscovered his range? And has Struff lost his?

    The German finds the net then goes long with a return from the back.

    That was relatively comfortable for Evans.

    Now what?

    Every point is a victory for the Brit at the moment - he's just felt under siege for some time.

    Shot of the match.

    Evans smacks what seems a forehand winner but Struff puts his racquet in the right place and wins the point.

    What reactions!

    0-15.

    The German pulls out that 'forehand in the corner' tactic.
