    That game might be pivotal in this match. There won't be many games where you get four break points on the Lehecka serve.

    Incredible defence by Jiri Lehecka.

    He turns up the aggression by stepping up to the net and volleys a winner to bring it to deuce.

    But his celebrations are shot-lived when Draper sends a winner down the line for another look at break point.

    The quality of Jack Draper's game has gone up a couple of levels as he gets a hold to love.

    The only problem is that he's now just matching what Jiri Lehecka has been doing since this match started.

    Has Draper got a few more gears to go through?

    Jack Draper back on serve as we prepare to begin the second set.

    Jiri Lehecka gets it at the first time of asking when Jack Draper's return ends up in the tramlines.

    A fine opening set from the Czech.

    Is he going to end another Briton's hopes of winning the Queen's title?

    It's not just the speed [of Lehecka's serve], it's the placement of it too - untouchable.

    Maybe it's because Jiri Lehecka has ice running through his veins?

    Cool and composed to bring his up his seventh ace of the match for a 30-0 lead.

    Lehecka brings up two set points.

    *Lehecka 5-4 Draper

    Jack Draper is accessorising with multiple ice packs as he sits in the chair at the change of ends.

    No sign of ice anywhere near Jiri Lehecka. The Czech seems to be dealing with a heat a little better.

    *Lehecka 5-4 Draper

    A stunning forehand arcs into the corner and well out of Jiri Lehecka's reach to hand Jack Draper a 40-0 lead.

    Is Draper starting to settle? He gets a first hold to love.

    Now just the matter of trying to get a break back to keep this set going.

    Lehecka 5-3 Draper*

    A beautiful forehand from Jack Draper draws one of the largest reactions of the day from the crowd as he gets back to 15-15.

    Having just highlighted that Jiri Lehecka was yet to double fault... he picks up his first of the match, however, it's swiftly followed by a couple of aces to lead 40-30.

    Lehecka forces Draper deep and the Briton is unable to return at full stretch.

    Draper will serve to stay in the set.

    Leon Smith
    GB Davis Cup captain on BBC TV

    Lehecka is a terrific player. I first saw him at the Davis Cup when he was 18. You could see that while he was a bit raw the power was absolutely there. He is one of the best of this new generation of players.

  17. Postpublished at 13:37 British Summer Time

    *Lehecka 4-3 Draper

    Jack Draper has hit six aces compared to the three of Jiri Lehecka, however, the Briton has also had three double faults while his opponent is yet to pick up one.

    It's that kind of inconsistency that is hurting Draper at the moment.

  18. Draper holdspublished at 13:34 British Summer Time

    *Lehecka 4-3 Draper

    The clear difference at the moment is that Jiri Lehecka is getting most of Jack Draper's serves back over the net to give himself a chance. Whereas Draper is unable to return when Lehecka is on serve.

    Lehecka with another lovely drop shot to move 0-15 up, but Draper turns it around to lead 40-15.

    Another double fault from Draper - he's had one per service game - but he goes on to hold.

    Lehecka 4-2 Draper*

    Jiri Lehecka looks phenomenal with the ball in hand.

    Jack Draper just doesn't have an answer at the moment.

    The Czech seals a hold to love with an ace.

  20. Draper holdspublished at 13:27 British Summer Time

    *Lehecka 3-2 Draper

    In contrast, Jack Draper is yet to really get his eye in on serve. Another double fault brings Jiri Lehecka back to 30-30.

    And then Draper pops up with an ace to lead before wrapping up the game.

    The Briton just needs to find some consistency.
