    Zverev has broken his shot tolerance a bit. He is hesitating more than he was earlier on.

    Rafael Jodar clenches his fist and raises it in the air to celebrate. A huge sense of relief as he saves the break.

    The crowd certainly seem to be on the teenager's side as he arcs a forehand winner down the line for advantage.

    Alexander Zverev refuses to let this game pass him by that easily, though, as they go to deuce.

    *Jodar 6-7 (3-7) 1-2 Zverev

    Alexander Zverev seems to be taking a little more time before each serve now - maybe he just wants to slow the tempo of this match a little.

    There's a debate over whether he lands an ace to seal a hold to 30 but the umpire is down from her chair to check and it's deemed wide.

    No bother, Zverev gets the hold on second serve.

    Rafael Jodar glides through the service game. A 105mph forehand makes it 40-0 before Zverev puts into the net.
