*De Minaur 1-6 1-1 Evans

De Minaur 1-6 1-0 Evans*
De Minaur lets Evans back in but eventually holds. Can he start to make inroads on the Evans serve?
*De Minaur 1-6 0-0 Evans
De Minaur has switched from a backwards cap to a forwards cap. It's a better start from the Australian as he gets out to 30-0 pretty quickly. Game-changing hat?
De Minaur 1-6 Evans
Not much conversation happening between Evans and Britain's head coach Leon Smith. There's not much can be said after that super performance.
Unsurprisingly, De Minaur has left the court for the interval.

What a performance from Evans who is in total control of this second match in Manchester.
It only took around 40 minutes, too. De Minaur will have to come out firing now to get something out of this.
De Minaur 1-5 Evans*
Evans has De Minaur zipping side to side across the baseline and sets up a lovely winner on the volley.
A double fault lets the Australian back in at 30-30 but De Minaur can only send Evans' serve long.
He's a point away from a dominant first-set lead.

Nick Lester

De Minaur's had a handful of chances to break in two of Evans' games so it feels like it's a lot closer than the scoreline suggests right now.
*De Minaur 1-4 Evans
Evans has just told Britain head coach Leon Smith at the change of ends that the balls are feeling quite heavy.
So far it's not really hampered the world number 27.
*De Minaur 1-4 Evans
Evans aces for advantage and De Minaur thinks he has a case for it going out so decides to challenge. It's a good call from the line judge, though, it was in by a whisker.

Evans hates giving free points away. He keeps things so tight at the back of the court and makes you work for everything.
De Minaur 1-3 Evans*
Better from the Australian as he sends Evans sprinting across court then opts to leave the Brit's forehand return. Correct decision, it was going long.
A much-needed hold for De Minaur, he's finally on the board.
*De Minaur 0-3 Evans
De Minaur saves the first break point when Evans nets his backhand and then the second when he does the same on his forehand effort. Deuce.
