  2. *Evans 6-4 7-6 (7-3) Giron

    Snappy start to the third set from Marcos Giron as he reaches 0-30 and then lashes down a massive forehand to bring up 15-40 and two break points.

  3. Evans 6-4 7-6 (7-3) Giron

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    From 3-0 and 4-1 down in the set, Evans totally turned it around and played the tennis we saw in set one.

    You could see him working his way back into the return game. He was trying to do the right things by winning 91% of those first serve points.

  4. Game and second set - Evans

    *Evans 6-4 7-6 (7-3) Giron

    Oh, what a point! Dan Evans thinks he has Marcos Giron on the run, but the American catches the tape and is back in the rally. Evans manages to engineer his opponent around court once more and picks him off with a forehand winner. He takes a two-set lead!

  5. *Evans 6-4 6-6 (6-3) Giron

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    That was a total brain freeze! He just bailed out of the point!

  6. Tie-break

    *Evans 6-4 6-6 (6-3) Giron

    Marcos Giron completely mis-hits a backhand slice and all of a sudden Dan Evans has three set points.

  7. Tie-break

    Evans 6-4 6-6 (5-2) Giron*

    "Come on, Evo, come on!" That's the cry from the British number one and he follows up with a pounding serve.

  8. Tie-break

    *Evans 6-4 6-6 (3-2) Giron

    Marcos Giron gets on the board and thinks he's followed up with an ace, only for let to be called.

    The American takes the point anyway with Dan Evans prodding a volley into the net at full stretch.

  9. Evans 6-4 6-6 (3-0) Giron*

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Dan Evans is doing a really good job of focusing on the tennis and not letting any other distraction affect him.

  10. Tie-break

    Evans 6-4 6-6 (3-0) Giron*

    Smart serve and forehand winner combo from the British number one, and he follows up with another superb winner off the same side.

  11. Tie-break

    *Evans 6-4 6-6 (1-0) Giron

    Great start for Dan Evans, taking an early mini-break.

  12. Evans 6-4 6-6 Giron*

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Dan needs to not overplay and he needs to keep hitting through the ball. They will both be feeling different nerves here.

    He started as well as he did because I think he knew there was a window to get this done.

  13. Evans 6-4 6-6 Giron

    That's the only blemish for Dan Evans, who rattles to a hold with a delicious, leaping volley to take this second set to a tie-break.

  14. *Evans 6-4 5-6 Giron

    Lovely stuff from the British number one, pushing his opponent deep and then darting to the net to jab away a winner on the volley. The next forehand is wild, though. 15-15.

  16. Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I love this... I have my screens on around me and I can see Grigor Dimitrov is wiping the courts down himself. He has the towels out and he's getting all the ball boys and girls on it!

  17. *Evans 6-4 5-6 Giron

    Marcos Giron is running the sole of his shoes along the lines, testing to see if they are too slippery.

  18. *Evans 6-4 5-6 Giron

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    I hope it's just about light enough for them to sit on court for a few minutes and see how things go.
