    Well left! Almost a heart-in-mouth moment for Draper at deuce as he opts to leave the ball but it drops out behind him.

    A big serve from the Brit secures the hold and the momentum has firmly shifted in his favour, consolidating that break to put himself with one game of sealing the second set.

    “I love being in England. It reminds me of home,” said Alexei Popyrin in a very recent ATP interview. “The history, the crowd, the feeling in London. I love it. And Queen’s is my favourite tournament on the circuit.”

    Despite this being his favourite Tour-level meet the Australian has only registered one win here – his first round victory against compatriot Aleksandar Vukic yesterday.

    But he's going well here against the second seed.

    Where did that come from!?

    There's only been the briefest of breezes during this match to provide some respite from the sun, but suddenly that big gust appears and pinches someone's hat.

    It has given the home crowd a much-needed cheer after a disappointing run of points for Jack Draper recently.

    Goodness me, that's eight straight points, including saving two break points for Popyrin and he's got the break of serve.

    Barely an empty seat in the stands here on centre court and everyone is engrossed in this tight contest so far.

    Both players have been serving well but one or two mistakes have crept in more recently. Could we see the first break soon? Draper almost got it there.
