Billy breaks to get back on serve at 2-2 in the third.

Toby lost a very tight third set but has held at the start of the fourth.

 Excellent news for Arthur, who now plays Virtanen instead!

 Yes - what a super match 

And what a performance from Otto V - great to see him at qualis

It was a real thriller

Virtanen has just seen off Ben Shelton, the fourth seed (shock of the tournament so far?), by 6-4 3-6 6-7(8) 6-2 7-6(11-9).  He will be a handful!

Toby is playing some inspired stuff and has taken it to a fifth against Mensik, including a quite brilliant winner at 15-30 down in the final game of the set.

I bet the groundsmen will be cursing the players on Court 3.  They've made a right mess of the grass round the baseline area.  At first, I thought it was just Mensik dragging his trailing foot when he served, but then I realised that Toby was doing it, too.  no

Shouldn't the receiver be penalised if he isn't ready when the server is? Mr Mensik has made Mr Samuel wait to serve on numerous occasions.

Toby 3-1* up to 3-5* down in the 5th set takes it to a MTB decider.

All the best, mate !

Heart-breaking for Toby.  Never expected him to break back when Mensik served for the match at 5-4, but I clearly underestimated his powers of recovery!  What a thrilling finish!  So near & yet so far!  cry

And for the sake of completeness:

L128:  (6) Taylor Fritz (USA) WR 7 vs Jack Draper WR 131 - Jack withdrew on Monday with a recurrence of the injury in his serving arm & was replaced by Serbian lucky loser, Dusan Lajovic, whom Fritz beat by 3, 4 & 3.
