    The crowd inside court three rose to their feet as Toby Samuel forced a deciding fifth set against 15th seed Jakub Mensik!

    The Briton waved his arm to the crowd, calling for more.

    This is some spirit being shown by the world number 123 - and what a winner that was down the line when under pressure at 15-30 as he served for the fourth set.

    After all the doom and gloom around Monday’s British performances, Samuel is a set away from delivering a stunning upset.

    When you get to these later stages of the set, that's when those top players who are playing with a lot of confidence, as Zverev is, they will ask you the questions and not give you any easy mistakes.

    Alexander Blockx plays a couple of drop shots of his own to get the better of Alexander Zverev, who scrambles in vain to dig it out and over the net.

    French Open champion Zverev must now serve to stay in this second set.

    It is great that Elena Rybakina was able to come through a match like this. It should give her the confidence that she can play well on the grass court and get back to her winning ways. Coming through a gritty three-setter is exactly what she would've wanted.

    It has shown Rybakina and her team exactly where the holes are. Her level really dipped in that second set, she was throwing out a lot of unforced errors, but she knows that is what she has to work on now.

    *Mensik 5-7 6-3 6-3 0-0 Samuel

    This is a straight shootout now on court three. A reminder that it is also the first ever time that Toby Samuel is playing a fifth set.

    This must be equally as nerve-wracking and exciting for the world number 123.

  7. Difficult to call Rybakina a 'favourite'published at 17:13 BST 30 June

    It's hard to judge Rybakina on one match.

    Her grass court form hasn't been that good - she was beaten by an inspired Katie Boulter at Queen's, and lost in the first round at Berlin.

    She's genuinely quite hard to call and read and that's the thing with her. Her opponents say it's tough because she gives you no energy and she shows no emotion but it's hard to say with certainty, despite being world number two and a former champion, that she is a favourite.

    This set has tie-break written all over it at the moment.

  9. Game and fourth set - Samuelpublished at 17:11 BST 30 June

    *Mensik 5-7 6-3 6-3 0-0 Samuel

    Toby Samuel has taken French Open semi-finalist Jakub Mensik to a fifth set!

    It seemed like the match on court three was only going one way after Mensik won back-to-back sets, but errors have started to creep in to the 20 year-old's game and he is becoming visibly frustrated by it.

    That is taking nothing away from Toby Samuel though. His forehand when he was down at 30-15 was outrageous. It left Mensik speechless on the other side of the net, and Samuel cruised to the fourth.

    Elena Rybakina survives a scare! The Australian Open champion gets her Wimbledon campaign underway, but there were moments where things were less than certain midway through that deciding set.

    In the end, she pulled through and she might be better for it. She was certainly shaky in moments and I think there might be some buckets of balls out on the training courts in the next 24 hours or so.

    I thought this was Ben's year. He's been playing really great on the grass and I really thought Ben was the favourite for the United States and jeez, he's kind of surprised this happened.

    You play a qualifier and you don't know anything about him but this guy earned it. It's not like Ben Shelton played badly, he played well and fought as hard as he could, but this kid - it's like a movie. It really is.

    With the quality Virtanen played with, I think he goes on further, I don't think this is it.

    Rybakina 6-4 1-6 6-3 Boisson

    Second seed Elena Rybakina is through to the second round, beating Lois Boisson.

    It was a far from convincing performance from the former champion, who faded badly in the second set and struck 35 unforced errors across the match, but she came through in three sets.

    "I need to improve quite a lot," she says in her on-court interview.

    This really is a 50:50 match now.

    Lois Boisson is a fighter. We saw that she is a competitor with her run at Roland Garros, but it just took her some time to settle into this match.

    She definitely had to get used to Elena Rybakina's ball, which comes in hard and flat, as there are no players on tour who hit the ball like her. Just adjusting to that can take a bit of time, but Boisson did such a fantastic job of it in the second set.

    She is absorbing the pace and staying in the rallies, which Rybakina doesn't like.

    A sublime passing shot means it's a third break and the third set for Karen Khachanov. Billy Harris will of course be frustrated, but I don't think any player in the world would have got to that backhand from the 19th seed.

    The experience of Khachanov - a two time Grand Slam semi-finalist - might just be starting to show here. Is it too much for Harris to handle?
