  2. Tie-break

    Andreeva 6-6 (3-4) Bencic*

    Mirra Andreeva looks to have a great chance to hold at the net but gets way too much on her forehand and it flies wide to hand back the mini-break.

  3. Break point Samsonova

    *Swiatek 6-2 4-2 Samsonova

    You just wonder if that last break of serve has taken the wind out of Liudmila Samsonova, as Iga Swiatek races to 40-0 in her next service game, but hang on...

    Swiatek nets, Samsonova smashes a winner at the net and the Russian 19th seed takes us to deuce with a forehand winner that wrongfoots Swiatek.

    And now a Swiatek double fault - suddenly it's break point!

    Belinda Bencic is on the verge of securing a double hold to consolidate that mini-break but double-faults.

    Mirra Andreeva gets a hold but then sends a forehand into the net to hand over the first mini-break.

  6. Tie-break

    Iga Swiatek will sense the finish line here, she is just a couple of games away now.

  9. Swiatek breaks

    *Swiatek 6-2 4-2 Samsonova

    Another double fault gifts Iga Swiatek another break point, but Liudmila Samsonova finds a first serve at just the right time and Swiatek can't get the return in play.

    Back to deuce.

    But here's a third break point in the game as Samsonova nets.

    And another costly double fault! Swiatek moves a break in front and will be serving next for a 5-2 lead.

  10. *Andreeva 5-6 Bencic

    Mirra Andreeva is yet to drop a shot at Wimbledon over the past two weeks. If she does go on to lose this opening set it will be interesting to see how she reacts.

    The Russian is on serve now and looking to force a tie-break but a double fault takes the game to 15-15.

    Another fault on first serve means Belinda Bencic can attack the second serve and she does it incredibly well to lead 15-30.

    Are those early match nerves creeping back in here for Andreeva?

  11. Samsonova saves break point

    Swiatek 6-2 3-2 Samsonova*

    A second serve on break point from Liudmila Samsonova, who eventually takes control of the point with a cross-court backhand which Iga Swiatek can't get back.

  12. Bencic holds

    *Andreeva 5-6 Bencic

    A wide serve from Belinda Bencic asks a lot of Mirra Andreeva, who gets the ball back but is then beaten.

    Bencic goes on to hold. A first real test of the match for the 28-year-old but she comes through and is guaranteed at least a tie-break for this set.

  13. Break point Swiatek

    Swiatek 6-2 3-2 Samsonova*

    A wonderful drop shot from Liudmila Samsonova has Iga Swiatek scurrying towards the net in vain early in her latest service game.

    But at 30-30 Swiatek puts the Russian under pressure with an outstanding return.

    Break point...

  14. Second break point Andreeva

    Andreeva 5-5 Bencic*

    Belinda Bencic saves to hang on in there in this game.

    Bencic looks like she has spotted a bug (maybe a ladybird?) between serves and halts her motion to move it away from danger.

    Mirra Andreeva gets another break point.

    And that's how you get over that frustration.

    A brilliant point and Andreeva comes out on top after Bencic fires long.

  16. Break point Andreeva

    Andreeva 5-5 Bencic*

    Wow.

    The longest rally of the match at 22 shots comes to a conclusion when Belinda Bencic puts long. Mirra Andreeva turns away and raises her fist to celebrate. 30-15.

    And Andreeva now has the first break point of the match.

  17. 'Credit to Samsonova'

    Credit to Liudmila Samsonova for hanging in there and extending some of these exchanges.

    In the last few games she seems to have really locked in.

  18. Samsonova breaks back

    Swiatek 6-2 3-2 Samsonova*

    Back on serve in set two!

    Iga Swiatek saves the first two break points with a couple of stunning forehand winners, but she left herself with too much to do from 0-40 down.

    Liudmila Samsonova has hope once more.

  19. Jess Anderson

    That's twice now Mirra Andreeva has wanted to see the Hawk-Eye replay on the big screen.

    She had raised her fist in celebration thinking she had won the point but instead the replay shows it was millimetres out and this time it's a raised fist in frustration.

  20. Andreeva 5-5 Bencic*

    Mirra Andreeva has further doubts about another line call - this time her shot is called out - but once again it is right. The ball was long by a millimetre at most.
