  1. Break point Fonsecapublished at 15:01 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Fearnley 1-2 Fonseca

    A first hint of trouble on serve for Jacob Fearnley as he concedes the opening two points to trail 30-0.

    But he wrestles back control with a couple of purposeful serves.

    Ah. A double fault hands Joao Fonseca a first chance to break.

  2. 'Fognini has just crumbled'published at 15:01 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Alcaraz 7-5 3-2 Fognini

    Andrew Cotter
    Commentator on BBC One

    The service game was there for Fabio Fognini but he has just crumbled.

    He smashed his racquet in frustration - and understandably so - after losing that first set and being broken in the second set.

    It's going to be hard for him from here on in...

  3. Alcaraz breakspublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Alcaraz 7-5 3-2 Fognini

    Carlos Alcaraz gets the first break of the second set.

    Fabio Fognini will wonder quite how he's allowed that to happen after going up 40-0 up but a double fault at 40-30 gave Alcaraz a sniff and that's all he needed.

    A fierce forehand hits the net for Fognini at deuce and then a backhand goes the same way to give Alcaraz the break.

    It's a long way back for the Italian from here, you feel.

  4. Fery holdspublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Popyrin 4-6 1-6 6-4 1-2 Fery

    Arthur Fery continues to try with the serve and volley, the success of which is getting more varied.

    He sees himself in trouble at 30-40 down to Alexei Popyrin, but a couple of overhead smash attempts at the net and he brings himself to deuce.

    The 22-year-old manages to avoid any break points this time, though, and secures another hard-fought hold.

  5. Bautista Agut breaks Norriepublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 30 June

    Norrie 6-3 3-6 6-4 2-3 Bautista Agut*

    An underarm serve from Roberto Bautista Agut earns him a point to get him to 40-15, but a scorching backhand return winner from Cameron Norrie and a forehand long from the Spaniard take it to deuce.

    Bautista Agut sees the game out from there, and it's all square at 2-2 in the fourth set - although not for long...

    Bautista Agut breaks Norrie to love, the Brit throwing in a double fault on break point, as the world number 42 takes control of set four.

  6. Fonseca holdspublished at 14:58 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Fearnley 1-2 Fonseca

    Commanding stuff once again from Joao Fonseca.

    The Brazilian is showing no sign of nerves on Court One as he meets the ball high at the net and forces through a winner for the hold.

  7. Fearnley holdspublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 30 June

    Fearnley 1-1 Fonseca*

    There's a bit of early concern for Jacob Fearnley as he double faults and then turns away holding his shoulder.

    Fearnley seems to shrug it off as he gets a hold to 15.

    The Briton picked up an injury when beating Flavio Cobolli at Eastbourne last week before going on to lose in straight sets against Marcos Giron, so we'll have to keep a close eye on him.

  8. Alcaraz holdspublished at 14:55 British Summer Time 30 June

    Alcaraz 7-5 2-2 Fognini*

    Oof. Brilliant return from Fabio Fognini. A forehand timed to absolute perfection and the ball was past Carlos Alcaraz almost before he had finished his service motion.

    The Italian mimics taking a photo - he'll definitely want a picture of that one.

    It should be the only point for Fognini in the game but a couple of loose forehands from Alcaraz means it does to deuce but the two-time Wimbledon champion finally gets the game won.

  9. Popyrin holdspublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 30 June

    Popyrin 4-6 1-6 6-4 1-1 Fery*

    An easier hold for Australian Alexei Popyrin in his first service game of this fourth set.

    He gets so much height on his serve, it makes it difficult for Arthur Fery to get it back with much pace.

    Fery sprays a shot wide and Popyrin comfortably holds to love.

  10. Fonseca holdspublished at 14:52 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Fearnley 0-1 Fonseca

    Easy as you like for Joao Fonseca in the opening game.

    The Brazilian guides a forehand down the line to get the hold to love in just two minutes.

  11. Norrie holdspublished at 14:51 British Summer Time 30 June

    Norrie 6-3 3-6 6-4 2-1 Bautista Agut*

    Roberto Bautista Agut is not happy with the net on Court 18, as Cameron Norrie's groundstroke clips the top of the tape and plops over on the Spaniard's side to complete a service hold for the Brit.

  12. Postpublished at 14:50 British Summer Time 30 June

    Fearnley 0-0 Fonseca*

    British number two Jacob Fearnley won the coin toss and elected to receive, so it's world number 54 Joao Fonseca to get us under way in this round one tie on Court One.

  13. Fery holdspublished at 14:50 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Popyrin 4-6 1-6 6-4 0-1 Fery

    There was some extra thinking time for Arthur Fery at the end of that third set as Alexei Popyrin took the opportunity to go off court for a break.

    At 30-30, it looked like it was perhaps a bit too much time to think over what has happened so far.

    And, after bringing up game point, some cruel luck for the British wildcard as Popyrin's ball dribbles over the net for deuce.

    Fery really shows his mettle, though, seeing out the 10-minute opening game of this fourth set.

    *Alcaraz 7-5 1-2 Fognini

    Fabio Fognini saunters back to his chair after a strong service game.

    He holds to 15 as Carlos Alcaraz fails in his attempt to bend a forehand around the net post.

    Jacob Fearnley has been practising with British number one Jack Draper at the All England Club, with the pair good friends from their time on the junior circuit.

    Draper goes into the tournament as the fourth seed, with Fearnley Great Britain's number two in the rankings.

    "We all look up to Jack and what he's done, with the rise he's had from where he was," Fearnley told BBC Sport. "It's very inspiring for a guy like me.

    "I'm just trying to keep improving. Hopefully, one day I can be where Jack is but the way he goes about his business is hard to follow. He's very professional and the level he's playing is really high."

    There really is nowhere like Wimbledon.

    Even in the baking heat, people are dressed to impress. A bit of hot weather is not enough to put people off wearing their finery.

    I’ve seen some gorgeous outfits while on my travels round the grounds. As well as some very dapper suits. Although I’m genuinely unsure how people are coping in those.

  17. Alcaraz holdspublished at 14:46 British Summer Time 30 June

    Alcaraz 7-5 1-1 Fognini*

    Fabio Fognini throws his head back after sending a backhand narrowly wide.

    With Carlos Alcaraz beaten, a couple of inches to the right and that would have been 15-40 and two break points.

    Instead, Alcaraz comes through and holds to 30 with a forehand flicked past an already committed Fognini.

  18. Holds of serve at start of fourth setpublished at 14:45 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Norrie 6-3 3-6 6-4 1-1 Bautista Agut

    Roberto Bautista Agut may be 37 years of age now, but the Spaniard proved by reaching the Queen's semi-finals a couple of weeks ago that he can still be a force on the grass, so this is by far done and dusted for Cameron Norrie.

    The Brit gets the benefit of a couple of favourable net cords to hold serve in the opening game of set four, but Bautista Agut responds immediately to get himself on the board.

  19. Fonseca has 'got the goods'published at 14:44 British Summer Time 30 June

    Joao Fonseca had already captured the locker room's attention when he won the ATP Next Gen title - the end-of-season finals contested by players under the age of 21 - last year.

    A bigger breakthrough came when he stunned eighth seed Andrey Rublev at January's Australian Open on his Grand Slam debut.

    And in Melbourne, 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic revealed he was already "a fan" of Fonseca.

    "He's got the goods, definitely," Djokovic said.

    Less than a month later, Fonseca landed the biggest title of his career at an ATP 250 event in Buenos Aires.

  20. Game and third set - Norriepublished at 14:44 British Summer Time 30 June

    *Norrie 6-3 3-6 6-4 0-0 Bautista Agut

    Cameron Norrie takes the third set with yet another floating forehand volley!

    The British number three breaks Roberto Bautista Agut at just the right moment to take the third set 6-4.

    It hasn't been easy out there for him - dealing with the scorching heat and facing Roberto Bautista Agut's blistering shots - but he does have a 2-1 lead on Court 18.
