    Fearnley 2-1 Etcheverry*

    Tomas Martin Etcheverry has produced a couple of standout shots early in this match, this time bending a forehand pass around Jacob Fearnley for 15-all. He was trapped several feet behind the baseline by the advancing Brit at the time.

    But errors are still flying from his racquet and a down-the-line backhand dragged into the tramlines presents Fearnley with another two break points.

    Choinski 3-6 1-5 Van de Zandschulp*

    A big forehand winner by Botic van de Zandschulp gets it done at the first time of asking and he'll now serve for a very convincing two-set lead.

    *Choinski 3-6 1-4 Van de Zandschulp

    This match has been short on exciting winners, but Botic van de Zandschulp is upping his tally now.

    A winner down the line is followed by two Jan Choinski misses into the net, gifting the Dutchman three break points.

    *Choinski 3-6 1-4 Van de Zandschulp

    Jan Choinski wins his first point on Botic van de Zandschulp's serve in this second set with a brilliant on-the-run forehand winner.

    It's the only point he gets though, with the Dutchman landing an equally impressive winner to wrap up the hold.

    It's hard going for Choinski when he hits the ball so cleanly and solidly out of the middle of the racket, but he does just take up position behind the basline and Van de Zandschulp has a few options there - he can either go toe-to-toe or he can fade back even when he's returning serve, as he's probably aware that Choinski's not going to serve-and-volley.

  6. Fearnley holds servepublished at 18:40 BST

    Fearnley 2-1 Etcheverry*

    A small shake of the fist from Jacob Fearnley after saving a break point and coming through deuce to hold.

    Both players are still trying to find their radar out on court 12.

  7. Break point Etcheverrypublished at 18:38 BST

    *Fearnley 1-1 Etcheverry

    Shot! Lovely combination from Tomas Martin Etcheverry to drag Jacob Fearnley wide on his forehand before tonking a forehand winner into the opposite corner, kissing the tramline.

    Break point. 30-40.

  8. Van de Zandschulp breaks first in second setpublished at 18:37 BST

    Choinski 3-6 1-3 Van de Zandschulp*

    Botic van de Zandschulp goes long on the first break point, giving Jan Choinski a glimmer of hope, but the British number three responds with an untimely double fault.

    It's just not going his way today.

  9. Break points Van de Zandschulppublished at 18:36 BST

    *Choinski 3-6 1-2 Van de Zandschulp

    Ah dear. A 17th unforced error from Jan Choinski gifts Botic van de Zandschulp the chance to strike first in this second set.

    Two break points.

  10. Fearnley breaks backpublished at 18:35 BST

    *Fearnley 1-1 Etcheverry

    Alas, Jacob Fearnley can't capitalise on his first two break points, missing a couple of returns.

    He earns a third bite of the cherry when Tomas Martin Etcheverry overcooks a backhand and this time, it goes his way, the 27th seed netting a backhand.

    We're back on serve and the unforced error count (six apiece) is flying!

    Choinski 3-6 1-1 Van de Zandschulp*

    Jan Choinski needed that one. It just slows Botic van de Zandschulp's momentum and gives the British number three a bit of much-needed confidence.

    Fearnley 0-1 Etcheverry*

    Jacob Fearnley sends a simple backhand into the middle of the net. He's been broken in his opening service game, with Tomas Martin Etcheverry largely able to sit back and wait for the mistakes.

  15. Break point Etcheverrypublished at 18:28 BST

    *Fearnley 0-0 Etcheverry

    After saving break point courtesy of a long forehand from Tomas Martin Etcheverry, Jacob Fearnley attacks the net and pings down a backhand volley for advantage.

    But a double fault takes him back to deuce - he hit 16 against Martin Landaluce in round one - before a backhand error hands the Argentine another break point opportunity.

    *Choinski 3-6 0-1 Van de Zandschulp

    Botic van de Zandschulp wins his fifth game in a row with a very comfortable hold of serve.

    It's good for Medvedev to get through that in straight sets, and store up those energy reserves if he wants to navigate his way through as comfortably as possible, without being bruised by the crowd involvement or self-abuse.

    *Fearnley 0-0 Etcheverry

    Down 0-30 in his opening service game, Jacob Fearnley levels with a down-the-line backhand winner.

    However, a long forehand invites more early pressure.

    Daniil Medvedev is safely into the third round at the US Open with a straight-set win over Sebastian Gorzny.

    The seventh seed, whose sole Grand Slam triumph came at Flushing Meadows in 2021, won 6-1 6-3 7-5.

    Choinski 3-6 0-0 Van de Zandschulp*

    It all went very wrong very quickly there for Jan Choinski as he lost four games on the spin.

    Lots of costly errors for the British number three to tidy up.
