    Ah, the point is there for the taking but Evans knocks a volley long.

    Still, he's 30-15 up, and after drawing a mistake from Medvedev an opening hold is within reach.

    It's a long, long way back for Dan Evans from here, but you know he'll give it everything. So who knows. A positive start on serve needed.

    Medvedev has looked fantastically good throughout the week so far.

    A 10th ace of the match for Medvedev. Oh, and how about another for 40-0.

    Well, there's absolutely nothing Evans can do about that. Wonderful serving from the Russian settles the second set.

    Just what he needed. After a couple of smart volleys, Evans records a love hold to give himself one more shot at the Medvedev serve.

    Of course, we all know a two-set lead can be a rather dangerous advantage when you're up against Dan Evans...

    Another chance presents itself for Medvedev and this time he pulls out an ace. The second set is just a game away for the second seed.

    Medvedev ensures Evans will have to try a bit harder as he brings up deuce.

    An ace sets up game point, but after complaining about a lack of balls being in play the Russian misses the baseline.

    A double fault! And a break point for Dan Evans...

    Evans won't let his head drop - and he can't while Medvedev is playing at this level. The Brit springs forward to fire a forehand out of reach.

    Evans pushed too hard on the serve and the groundstrokes and he gave the break back to Daniil Medvedev.

    And in the blink of an eye, Medvedev breaks back.

    The Russian sticks away a forehand to set up three break points and Evans hits long to concede the game. Hugely disappointing for the Briton after all that good work to pull level.

    You can feel that building from Medvedev's last service game.

    He gets it! A miss from Medvedev, a swing in momentum?

    This is gutsy stuff from the British number one.

    Big point alert!

    It's a break point to Dan Evans.

    'Let's go' indeed. Evans gest himself fired up for the fight as he backs up a smash to move 0-30 up.

    Ha. That's a response. Two aces from Medvedev levels things up.

    Well that's just silly. Medvedev calls for greater appreciation from the crowd as he curves a forehand winner round the net and in.

    Evans brushes it off, volleying for 30-15 before a lovely forehand gets the job done on serve.

    It's just too good from Daniil Medvedev at the moment, despite Evans' hard work.

    The second seed edges ahead with a backhand and closes out to keep his opponent at arms length.
