  1. *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 3-3 Struff

    15-15.

    Evans then opts for a sliced backhand which Struff wishes he hadn't.

    30-15.

    The Brit goes for slice again but this time it goes awry.

    30s each.

  2. *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 3-3 Struff

    Evans then returns a backhand into the net.

    I did say that Struff's first serve was key - he has rediscovered it.

  3. Evans 7-6 (8-6) 3-2 Struff*

    Good grief!

    Evans produces a Federer-like feathery backhand down the line.

    15-30.

    Ace.

    30s each.

    40-30 with his ninth ace.

    Evans has been very impressive. He's been in this situation (one set up) twice already and will have had time to talk about how to deal with it. He will be looking to get a little chink, a chance to look at some second serves and put Struff under pressure.

  5. Evans 7-6 (8-6) 3-2 Struff*

    What a brilliant race to meet Struff's volley. Evans wins the point and knocks over some champagne in the process. Bubbly.

    0-15.

    15-15.

  6. Evans 7-6 (8-6) 3-2 Struff*

    Evans holds after Struff loses his challenge thinking the Briton's forehand was wide.

  7. *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 2-2 Struff

    He needs Evans to make an error or two which the Brit does on a one-handed backhand that hits the net.

    Struff then produces cracking forehand - he didn't rush into it, he just stood there and produced whip.

  8. *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 2-2 Struff

    Struff is having a strange second set. He's obviously looking to turn the screw by attacking Evans' serve but he hasn't got the right screwdriver.

    40-0.

  9. *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 2-2 Struff

    Not getting ahead of ourselves but a Nadal, who has had a long season, versus Andy Murray?

    Hmmm...

    Anyway, 40-0 and game for Struff.

  10. Meanwhile...

  11. Evans 7-6 (8-6) 2-1 Struff*

    Game.

  12. *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 1-1 Struff

    The Brummie is playing like a demon as he produces a forehand winner on the run, with a squirt of whipped cream.

    15-0.

    30-0.

    Overhead forehand smash.

    40-0.

  13. *Evans 7-6 (8-6) 1-1 Struff

    Struff holds to 15, but it wasn't particularly convincing.

  14. Evans 7-6 (8-6) 1-0 Struff*

    Evans is now toying with his opponent with so-so drifting drops.

    0-15.

    Respite for Struff who batters the the ball out of sight.

    15-15.

  15. Evans 7-6 (8-6) 1-0 Struff*

    15-15.

    30-15.

    Evans is on board the Electric Boogaloo. Struff fires a forehand long before the Brit's first serve bounces into the body of the German, whose return drifts into the net.

    Superb stuff from Dan Evans, who has been able to negate the power of Jan-Lennard Struff with nifty footwork and clever court-craft.

    Don't start searching for weekend flights to Madrid just yet though, British fans... Evo has been in this position in each of the past two days. And he went on lose.

    Sorry to dampen the mood...

  17. Evans 7-6 (8-6) Struff

    Evans showed some mettle there.

    If Struff's first serve deserts him then it's match and tie over.

  18. Tie-break and first set Evans

    Evans 7-6 (8-6) Struff

    Second serve has kick and swerve - Struff's return lands an inch wide.

    First blood to Evans.

  19. Set point two for Evans

    Evans 6-6 (7-6) Struff

    What a whipped forehand winner from Evans from the baseline - Murray-esque.

    Evans to serve for the set.

  20. Evans 6-6 (6-6) Struff

    Saved by Struff - a very good serve and volley.
