    Cerundolo did so well to recover, having played a poor game because it was the only time in the set his level dropped.

    He got himself back together and what a day this is turning into for the Argentines, one set away from giving themselves a very important win.

    Somebody's mobile phone going off before Draper's serve at 3-4 wasn't ideal.

    The Brit gives a little glare in the direction of the stadium after losing the point.

    Maybe it was the fan's partner/mate saying the Arena's food kiosk has ran out of hot dogs.

    I mean, what else could be so important you'd have to call in a tie-break?

    All in all, a really good game [for Cerundolo], having gone off the rails a touch. That will help the confidence going into this opening set tie-break.

    The volume rises in the Manchester Arena.

    That was a surprisingly poor service game from Cerundolo who up to that point had played brilliantly.

    But that I guess is Davis Cup tennis, that's the challenge, the extra pressure it brings.
