Arthur Fery fought back from a set down in his opening two matches at Wimbledon and then beat Zizou Bergs from 2-1 down, but this is unchartered territory for the British number one now.

Both players have headed off court for a bathroom break.

A pep talk in the mirror is definitely needed by Arthur Fery right now.

It's all felt relatively straightforward for Musetti.

No messing about from Lorenzo Musetti. He wants this second set done and dusted as he surges to a 40-0 lead.

The backhand shot hasn't clicked for Arthur Fery today and he sends another one long to give Lorenzo Musetti the opening point of his service game.

Musetti tries to give Fery a taste of his own medicine with a drop shot, but it's not quite deft enough to fool the Briton, who speeds across court and pins a down-the-line winner.

The Italian nets the next point and now he'll try to serve out for a two-set lead.

Arthur Fery has got to keep his cool here. Lose this game and it will be a long, long way back for the British number one.

Arthur Fery throws his arms up in frustration as another forehand fizzes into the net.

And there's the opportunity gone as he shanks the ball long and gifts Musetti the hold.

How costly will those missed chance be?

Lorenzo Musetti isn't going to hand it over easily. The Italian makes his way to the net and pelts down a winner. Back to deuce.

Arthur Fery can't find the court on that return either, but Lorenzo Musetti goes wide on the next point.

Break point number four. "Come on now" says Fery.

The one-handed backhand comes to the rescue for Lorenzo Musetti on the first break point, with a piercing winner down the line.

And Arthur Fery can't make the most of the next one, firing a return wide.

But he'll get another chance, pulling out the drop shot to catch Musetti off-guard. Third time lucky?

Here it is. Arthur Fery's first break point of the match.

In fact, he's got two of them after Lorenzo Musetti double faults.

Lorenzo Musetti gives himself an angry talking to as he dinks a drop shot into the net and opens up a 15-30 lead for Arthur Fery.

This could be the opportunity that the British number one has been waiting for.

Wow. When Lorenzo Musetti catches that one-handed backhand just right, it's a thing of beauty. A sublime winner down the line and Arthur Fery finds himself a break down once again.

I think for Fery, it's just the indecision at this stage. He's just trying to work out 'can I stand closer to the baseline and take the ball on the rise or should I be going back deeper?'

If he does go too far behind the baseline, that more or less takes away his opportunity to attack.

Arthur Fery can be so effective when he comes to the net. There's the perfect example as he quickly swipes away a couple of forehands and wrongfoots Lorenzo Musetti.

But then it all goes pear-shaped. A forehand into the net and it's break point Musetti.

A misjudgement there from Arthur Fery as he lets a Lorenzo Musetti forehand pass him by and then turns to watch it land well within the court.

The Italian goes for the spectacular on the next point, trying to round the net post after Fery sends him out wide, but he can't quite get the bend on it to take it inside. 15-15.

Ahhh. Unlucky, Arthur. The British number one delights the crowd with the 'tweener' but Lorenzo Musetti is waiting at the net to swat it away for a 40-0 lead.

Fery takes total control of the next point - only to sink a simple backhand into the net. It's those sort of unforced errors that are costing him big time here.

A solid service game for Arthur Fery, wrapped up with a blistering serve that Lorenzo Musetti can only plant into the net.

"Let's go Fery," someone shouts. It's not quite the foghorn chant we heard constantly at Wimbledon as Fery made it to the semi-finals.

Arthur Fery doesn't get long to soak up that hold of serve as Lorenzo Musetti whizzes through the next game, sprinkling in a couple of aces for good measure.

The British number one will have to put a dent in Musetti's serve at some point if he's to have any chance of challenging the 13th seed. Fery hasn't had a single break point yet.

That's better from Arthur Fery. Patient build-up from the baseline as he waits for Lorenzo Musetti to make the first mistake.

But the 13th seed steps things up on the next point, whipping a cross-court forehand winner past the Briton.

Fery gets the job done, though, and puts an end to Musetti's five-game win streak.
