    After losing four games in a row, any game to end that sequence is a welcome one and a hold to 15 gets Fery off the mark in the third set, but he is now playing catch-up.

    Arthur Fery is giving all he can to stay with Grigor Dimitrov here.

    He continues to do a good job of keeping the crowd involved, responding to what felt like a serious momentum shift from the end of the second serve and into the start of the third by forcing those opportunities to break back.

    It’s not to be, but the shouts of encouragement continue. The Briton has plenty of evidence that he can hurt Dimitrov, but whether he can take those chances is ultimately going to decide the outcome.

    Grigor Dimitrov calmly sees off both break points. Two heavy first serves definitely help.

    The Bulgarian wildcard pushes on to hold and consolidate the break.

    Work to do for Arthur Fery. Getting the crowd going again would certainly help.

    Not the start Arthur Fery wanted after that lengthy break, he's quickly down 0-30 on serve.

    The Brit needs to hold his nerve here.

    Grigor Dimitrov isn't going to let him settle, though, and brings up three break points.

    Somewhat surprisingly, it appeared to take Grigor Dimitrov much longer to relax into this contest than Arthur Fery, who is certainly far less experienced on this sort of stage.

    But the former semi-finalist is up and running now, and that will certainly help him to settle down as he seeks to turn this around.

    Arthur Fery took himself off court to reset and he’s been gone quite a while here. An increasingly impatient Dimitrov is pacing around behind his baseline.

    Fery returns. It’s game on - and the crowd will be hoping the British wildcard is as up for this fight as they clearly are.

    Dimitrov is doing a good job on first serve. There's the unforced errors but the significant change is the break point opportunities. He didn't have any in the first set.

    He's just won three games in a row and will be very keen to try and maintain that intensity and try and get an early break to put the pressure right on Fery.

    Linda Noskova stands with her hands on her hips and shakes her head in disbelief.

    It's been over two years since she reached her first - and until today, only Grand Slam quarter-final - but the 21-year-old is back again.

    More Czech success on the grass courts of Wimbledon.

    Arthur Fery takes the opportunity to quickly leave the court instantly after losing the second set. How will he regain his composure? The momentum is now with Grigor Dimitrov.

    Grigor Dimitrov, prowling at the net, forces Arthur Fery to go long and that gives the Bulgarian two set points.

    Oh dear. Madison Keys puts her hand to her face in disbelief.

    Keys gets one mini-break back but she's still up against it on Court One.
