A great contest this between the two players. Tiafoe holds and the Kazak player does the same on his serve. The American has played some insane lengthy matches and tonight, he might well do one.

It's 4-4 in the second set with Bublik now level on terms with the American. Tiafoe, if he wins, would go on to take on fellow American Taylor Fritz, who is also leading in his match.

We go to tie-break in this one! Bublik is seeded tenth at Wimbledon but we could surely see an 'upset' especially if Tiafoe starts pulling in the punches.

Kazakhstani 10th seed Alexander Bublik has equalized the match against American 17th seed Frances Tiafoe by winning the second set in a tie-break. The winner of this encounter will compete against the victor of the match between Taylor Fritz and Lorenzo Sonego.

My word - another tie-break! Tiafoe fails to break Bublik's serve and the latter holds to take it to a second tie-breaker of this match.

Tifaoe is losing the plot here. The Kazak player wins another tie-breaker and now leads two sets over one against the American player. Bublik has momentum in his stride.

After a brief break, we are back in action at the court. The roof has been closed and Bublik has taken a 2-1 lead in the fourth set. Tiafoe has been struggling and it seems the tie-break in the third set has caught up on him, with the double-faults he has made.

This will be another epic match alright! Both players not giving each an inch with both holding on their serve.

Tiafoe wins the fourth set as the game heads to the deciding fifth set as the American features in yet another five-set match.

Unless Tiafoe manages to put on a show, this match is headed in Kazak's favour. He races to a 4-1 lead in the decider as the American struggles with his serves.

There you go! What a comeback win for Bublik, who wins after losing the first set and the fourth set. The quality tells as he dispatches the American 17th seed, to advance to the next round and meet another American in Taylor Fritz.
