Oh, ouch.

Make that three double faults in a row. The first break goes the way of Carlos Alcaraz.

Another brilliant rally is ended by a huge winner from the forehand of Carlos Alcaraz.

Jaume Munar gets himself to 40-15 but that's an unfortunate time to hit back-to-back double faults. Break point...

An off-balance Jaume Munar can't clear the net tape with a forehand, and a nice one-two punch wraps up the hold for Carlos Alcaraz.

That's a gorgeous diving volley from Carlos Alcaraz, a deft touch to a hammer of Jaume Munar forehand to get his first point in his first service game.

Munar gives Alcaraz a thumbs up after an excellent rally that's wrapped up with a thudding forehand winner from the world number two, but Alcaraz can't wriggle out of this game just yet.

A missed swipe from the baseline takes us to deuce.

Wallop. Down comes an ace from Jaume Munar, and Carlos Alcaraz spears a backhand into the net to hand his compatriot a hold.

Some excellent returns from Carlos Alcaraz keep him interested in Jaume Munar's first service game of the match, but a magnificent passing shot as Alcaraz prowls towards the net gives Munar game point.

That's into the net, though, on the forehand, and Munar finds himself at deuce.

Here we go. The Spanish number one against the Spanish number five.

The weather does feel very south of Spain today. I'm roasting at my desk.

French Open winner a couple of weeks ago. The defending Wimbledon champion. A former winner at Queen's.

It's no surprise that Carlos Alcaraz is favourite take this year's Queen's title.

Alcaraz beat Australian Adam Walton 6-4 7-6 (7-4) in the first round.

Jaume Munar may never have entered the world’s top 50 but he is just one of two Spaniards to have beaten Carlos Alcaraz at ATP Tour level – the other being Rafael Nadal.

But that victory on the clay in Marbella was back in 2021 when Alcaraz was just 17 and three months away from winning the first of his 20 titles, which now include five Grand Slams.

Even then Munar realised how good Alcaraz was: "I won the match but I knew he would come to the top," he told ATPTour.com.

"Honestly [today at Queen’s] my chances are low. That’s the reality.

"But if I have to face Carlos, doing it on a surface where he hasn’t had much preparation is the best-case scenario for me."

It will be money well spent because it is once again another very sunny and very hot day.

Next up for Jacob Fearnley - Czech world number 30 Jiri Lehecka.

Actually, Fearnley will get a test against Lehecka today ahead of his match tomorrow.

Fearnley is playing with Cam Norrie against Lehecka and Taylor Fritz in the doubles later this afternoon.

British number two Jacob Fearnley to on court after his win: "I'm very happy to be in my first quarter-final, it's even better to do it here in the UK. It's really special for me, I've dreamed of these moments since I was a young boy. To do it here in front of this crowd and on this court is unbelievable.

"I tried to stick to my game plan and be aggressive. I did that better in the third set and the result speaks for itself.

"It's really special to have everyone here and watch me play on this stage."

Moutet shouts at the umpire again, and then slices into the net. 40-0. Three match points in the heat.

Jacob Fearnley is keeping his focus. Some top serves help him to 30-0.

This umpire is ice cold.

He's looking dead ahead as Moutet bickers away at him and getting no reaction seems to annoy the Frenchman even more.

It is entertaining to watch but Fearnley needs to keep his focus and get the job done here.

Still the show goes on. Moutet manages to sneak a hold with some first serves.

But he's straight over to the umpire to complain about getting a time violation earlier in that game. "This guy is crazy" he shouts at the top of his voice.

But we carry on as Fearnley wallops a backhand return into the net.

Moutet fizzes a slice wide. Another match point.
