*Sousa 1-2 Evans (4-6): Both players held their serve to start the second set and then Sousa plays a terrible game and is broken to love. Evans has his nose ahead in this second set.
17:46
EVANS TAKES THE FIRST SET! That's a very good start from the Brit, who serves out the first set 6-4. Sousa steadied himself after a poor start so maybe the second set will be more competitive.
17:42
*Sousa 4-5 Evans: That's the most straightforward service game that Sousa has had so far, serving to love. Evans will now have a chance to close out the set.
17:39
Sousa 3-5 Evans*: The Brit found himself in a little bit of trouble at 30-30, but a wonderful volley at game point sees Evans hold. He is a game away from the first set.
17:35
*Sousa 3-4 Evans: Another marathon game on the Sousa serve, but once again the Portuguese escapes the double break.
17:28
Sousa 2-4 Evans*: It's a hold to love from the Brit and the sore head doesn't seem to be affecting him much.
17:25
*Sousa 2-3 Evans: It's a hold from the Portuguese, but it seems that Evans might have a bit of a sore head. He has asked for some pain killers to be brought down to him.
17:21
Sousa 1-3 Evans*: A hold to love for Evans, who is playing some lovely one-two stuff in the opening few games on serve. He's started really well.
17:18
*Sousa 1-2 Evans: That was a marathon game with Evans earning himself two break points, but he couldn't take either of them. Nonetheless, he is still ahead.
17:06
Sousa 0-2 Evans*: The early break of serve if consolidated nicely with a volley at the net and Evans is looking in good shape early on here.
17:05
17:02
*Sousa 0-1 Evans: It's the perfect start for Evans as he breaks serve in the opening game of the match. There were a couple of brilliant winners from the Brit there.
