    Well, Etcheverry guts it out in the end.

    It was really solid play from Fearnley in the beginning of the fourth set and in the late part of the third set. Unfortunately, just when he was trying to put the pedal down, a few unforced errors came and gave Etcheverry a chance to get back into the match.

    But a pretty solid tournament for Fearnley.

    *Lehecka 2-3 Samuel

    Toby Samuel's good start in his second-round match against Jiri Lehecka has been cancelled out with the Czech 18th seed breaking back early in the first set.

    Lehecka applied the pressure and it told as Samuel couldn't get his forehand over the net.

    Fearnley 3-6 3-6 6-3 3-5 Etcheverry*

    Jacob Fearnley lets out a shout of frustration and makes an arcing motion with arm towards his team. I agree, it helps if the ball goes over the net rather than into it.

    Then, a harsh look down the court as his forehand drifts wide.

    Two break points - gone.

    A small fist pump from Jacob Fearnley as his inside-out forehand into the corner of the court is returned wide by Tomas Martin Etcheverry.

    With his opponent on the run, he targets the same corner again on the next point and is rewarded again. 15-30.

    Then, a double fault. Two break points!

    Yet another double fault from Jacob Fearnley for 30-all - his 11th of the match.

    *Fearnley 3-6 3-6 6-3 2-3 Etcheverry

    With his first serve returning to the party, Tomas Martin Etcheverry cruises towards a love hold before being pegged to 40-30. He had no answer for the heat of Jacob Fearnley's flat return, putting a volley into the net.

    But he completes the hold and strides back to his chair. Is momentum swinging the way of the Argentine? Fearnley was playing with his strings and muttering a little during that last game.

    Huge service game coming up for the Brit.

    A messy, messy service game from Jacob Fearnley.

    A routine backhand flies well long on deuce. At advantage, a netted forehand. Costly errors. The set is back on serve.

    Ace. Double fault. Deuce.
