    It feels a long way away that finish line for Jones. Linette is a good competitor and she won't let this go easily.

    Fearnley 3-6 3-6 4-3 Etcheverry*

    Now a bit of pressure on Tomas Martin Etcheverry's serve, with a double fault and a weak netted forehand either side of an unreturned serve for 15-30.

    But he stumbles on the next point as he attempts to retrieve Jacob Fearnley's cross-court forehand. He didn't convert break point in the previous game - will that haunt him here?

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

    Bruising baseline exchange, with Tomas Martin Etcheverry first targeting Jacob Fearnley's backhand and then the pair trading forehand blows. Fearnley cracks first, going long.

    As improved as Jacob Fearnley has been in this third set, his serve remains problematic.

    Double fault number nine of the match for 30-15 is followed by an ace, but a loose forehand invites Tomas Martin Etcheverry back into the game.

    Deuce. Huge opportunity for the 27th seed after a run of tight service games from both players.
