    The crowd are just appreciating the effort of Fery hanging onto that rally and hanging onto the game.

  2. Dimitrov serving for third set

    *Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 5-4 Fery

    Fery does what he needs to and forces Dimitrov to serve out the set, which was a good effort after being 0-30 down and then what appeared to be a painful slip on the turf.

    Dimitrov now serving to take the third set and a two sets to one lead.

  3. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 5-3 Fery*

    We're at deuce in the ninth game, after Fery loses his footing, slipping after Dimitrov had sent a down-the-line winner.

    Gasps from the crowd but a thumbs up from Fery says he and his hamstrings are fine.

  4. Bublik breaks Fritz

    Fritz 1-2 Bublik*

    Alexander Bublik has started well in his fourth-round tie against Taylor Fritz by breaking the American third seed in the third game.

    The 10th seed from Kazakhstan has found the range on his forehand early with Fritz having trouble defending it on his backhand side.

  5. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 5-3 Fery*

    Seconds after a hold to love from Fery, we have the exact same thing from Dimitrov, with two aces included - his 10th and 11th of the match.

    There is a strong feeling that Grigor Dimitrov has really asserted himself now.

    But all Arthur Fery can do is continue to scrap away as the Bulgarian's level continues to rise - and it must be said he is doing all he can as he shuts down another two break points.

    Shouts of encouragement have replaced the excited cheers we heard throughout most of the first set, with the crowd desperate to prevent the home favourite's challenge from fading.

    Based on the evidence so far, nearly two hours in, and in his matches last week, Fery won't be going down without a real fight.

    If this is your first time watching Fery, don't fear too much just yet: on Saturday he came through a 13-minute service game to hold and came back from two breaks down at 1-4 in the fourth and a break down at 1-4 in the fifth to triumph!

    Tim Henman
    Former British number one on BBC Two

    I think you've got to sometimes get yourself out of your comfort zone in situations like this. Sometimes it is that 12th man that can give you that lift. If the crowd are roaring as you go up love-15, the tables can turn rapidly.

  9. *Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 4-3 Fery

    A hold to love for Fery shows this one is not over yet. But now comes the difficult part and that is getting the crucial break back. Fery has a maximum of two games to do it, but he will be happy with that service game.

  10. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 4-2 Fery*

    Tim Henman
    Former British number one on BBC Two

    Right now, Fery has got to give the crowd something to put their teeth on, whether that comes for him or his game. He was with it for a set and a half but he's diminishing now.

  11. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 4-2 Fery*

    Dimitrov restores his two-game advantage, sending down a bullet serve, which Fery can't get near at full strength. Apart from a bit of joy, which proved crucial at the end of the first set, Fery has struggled to cope with his opponent's serve.

    A routine hold for Dimitrov, who needs two more games for a two sets to one lead.

    Watching the match between Fery and Dimitrov and the one thing that stands out is that Fery's previous opponents, although good players, Dimitrov as a former world number three is definitely different class to Fery and it's showing. Dimitrov is in the zone.

  13. Fery saves two break points to hold

    *Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 3-2 Fery

    Arthur Fery twice has to dig deep to save break points and avoid a double break. But great commitment from the 23-year-old to win the game, a vital one.

  14. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 3-1 Fery*

    Tim Henman
    Former British number one on BBC Two

    As soon as Dimitrov is able to neutralise the serve, Fery is getting into a baseline battle with him. Dimitrov just has a more powerful shot and a greater variety.

  15. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 3-1 Fery*

    Having saved one break point in this game, a shot from the baseline from Fery can only make it halfway up the net. But a tired-looking backhand doesn't have the power from Dimitrov as Fery sees off a second break point. Deuce again.

  16. Dimitrov 5-7 6-3 3-1 Fery*

    A brilliant cross-court forehand winner gives Dimitrov a break point, but he can't complete the job as a crouching backhand clips the tape and drops his side. Deuce.

    A thrilling point sees Dimitrov slip while playing a point at the net, but Fery can't pounce and Dimitrov is able to provide a point-winning lob into the back of the court.

    Dimitrov gets to deuce, in with an opportunity for a double break.

    It's absolutely imperative that Fery holds here.

  19. Fritz and Bublik on Court One

    Coming up shortly on Court One is the fourth-round tie between American sixth seed Taylor Fritz and 10th seed Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan.

    Fritz reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon last year while Bublik is aiming to reach the last eight at the All England Club for the first time.

    The pair have met eight times before with four victories apiece, although Fritz has triumphed in both their encounters on grass.

  20. Dimitrov 'bullying Fery'

    Former British number one on BBC Two

    Dimitrov is starting to bully Fery a bit. He's starting to get some big shots from the centre of the court. When you've got his power and quality, it's not a good sign for Fery.

    Fery's got to look to try to turn the tables.
