Sonego is out-thinking Humbert at the moment, every hold a mission for the local boy. But he ekes out another – on which point eek not eke is one of my favourite American spellings – so the Italian will now serve for set one at 5-4. Elsewhere, Bouzkova has taken the first off Kudermetova, finishing it off with a second break for 6-2.

Bouzkova leads Kudermetova 4-2, as Tomljanovic does to Yastremska; Rublev, meanwhile, has set point as Daniel serves then nets, and leads 6-2.
