    Dart v Vekic

    The rain has cleared up, and we're going to have four Britons playing at once very shortly.

    Harriet Dart is the latest to take to one of the outdoor courts. She's currently warming up before her second-round match against Croatia's Donna Vekic.

  2. Fearnley holds servepublished at 09:16 Greenwich Mean Time

    Fearnley 1-3 Cazaux*

    A much-needed first game for Jacob Fearnley, who holds serve to love to get up and running on the scoreboard. That will feel very good indeed after a frustrating stop-start day.

  3. Game and first set - Kokkinakispublished at 09:15 Greenwich Mean Time

    Draper 6-7 (3-7) Kokkinakis

    And he gets it. Thanasi Kokkinakis' forehand has been on fine form today, and he makes the most of it there to blast another win past Jack Draper.

    Work to do for the British number one.

    *Draper 6-6 (3-6) Kokkinakis

    Thanaski Kokkinakis brings up the first set points.

  5. Gauff holds servepublished at 09:14 Greenwich Mean Time

    Gauff 6-3 3-1 Burrage*

    Coco Gauff continues her charge towards the third round with a comfortable hold to love, which she polishes off with an ace.

    Gauff is going to take some stopping now with the finish line in sight. What has Jodie Burrage got left?

  6. Tie-breakpublished at 09:13 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-6 (3-5) Kokkinakis

    Jack Draper is forced to wait as spectators are let into the arena, but a bit of a breather does his serve no harm with Thanasi Kokkinakis unable to return.

    But the Australian shakes his racquet towards the crowd as he wins that rally to retain his tie-break lead. 3-5.

  7. Cazaux extends lead over Fearnleypublished at 09:12 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Fearnley 0-3 Cazaux

    Frenchman Arthur Cazaux extends his first-set lead over Jacob Fearnley in the first game since their match resumed on court six, to leave the Briton with plenty of work to do as both players attempt to settle back in.

    Draper 6-6 (2-4) Kokkinakis

    Thanasi Kokkinakis has a big serve and once again does the damage, he's serving so well.

  9. Tie-breakpublished at 09:11 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-6 (2-4) Kokkinakis

    Jack Draper flings his racquet at that serve from Thanasi Kokkinakis and manages to get it back over the net, but the Australian is there to tidy up and take the lead.

    Oh dear. A double fault from Draper and it's advantage Kokkinakis.

  10. Burrage holds servepublished at 09:09 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Gauff 6-3 2-1 Burrage

    Well played Jodie Burrage. A final forehand winner gets the world number 173 to safety and a first game in this second set.

    Jack Draper ain't scared of doing the dirty work.

    The opening win over Mariano Navone wasn't pretty and this set, if he manages to nab it in the breaker, won't be either.

    You've got to find a way to win and credit to Draper for hanging tough here.

  12. Tie-breakpublished at 09:09 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-6 (2-2) Kokkinakis

    Lovely from Jack Draper, who races back and forth along the baseline before rushing forward for the passing shot.

    The British number one has no reply for Thanasi Kokkinakis' next serve, though. 2-2.

    Draper 6-6 Kokkinakis*

    Mark Woodforde

    We've seen some of the camera work has already focused on Jack Draper's shoes and I think there's also holes on the side of his shoes where he's been sliding on this surface.

  14. Burrage saves break pointpublished at 09:08 Greenwich Mean Time

    Gauff 6-3 2-0 Burrage*

    A brilliant backhand fizzes down the line off Coco Gauff's racquet, with that sumptuous return helping the American along to another break point.

    That felt good! Jodie Burrage produces a timely ace to temporarily relieve the pressure.

  15. Tie-breakpublished at 09:07 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-6 (1-1) Kokkinakis

    Not a bad way to start the tie-break. An ace each. 1-1.

  16. Draper holds to force tie-breakpublished at 09:07 Greenwich Mean Time

    Draper 6-6 (0-0) Kokkinakis*

    Those runs to the net are working well for Thanasi Kokkinakis as Jack Draper remains rooted to the baseline.

    The British number one hasn't done much of that, but after seeing his opponent smash home another volley he tries it and it pays off as his backhand whizzes past the Australian.

    Draper gets the hold and to a tie-break we go...

  17. Gauff saves break point to holdpublished at 09:04 Greenwich Mean Time

    Gauff 6-3 2-0 Burrage*

    Gauff recovers the break point and a couple of misses from Burrage allow the American to escape to safety. That was a big chance for Burrage and Gauff will feel very relieved.

    Burrage can't afford any mistakes on serve now...

    You can imagine how much the Aussie crowd loved that Kokkinakis winner catching a slither of the line.

    In fact, I'm not sure it was even a slither. Maybe a speck.

    Incredulous cheers came when they saw the 'close call' replay on the big screen.

    Draper stands with his head bowed and hands on hips.

  19. Kokkinakis holdspublished at 09:03 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 5-6 Kokkinakis

    That is sublime from Thanasi Kokkinakis, who sends Jack Draper out wide before blasting a forehand winner down the line.

    The Australian sends his home crowd wild on the next point, with the replay showing his shot pinched the baseline by just a millimetre or two.

    There's no doubting that volley, though. Kokkinakis had most of the court to aim for after forcing Draper the other way.

  20. Break point Burragepublished at 09:02 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Gauff 6-3 1-0 Burrage

    Two double faults in one game for Coco Gauff, and all of a sudden Jodie Burrage has the opportunity to break back.
