COURT 2 RESULT
STAN WAWRINKA IS OUT! Reilly Opelka comes through in 3 hours and 13 minutes, 7-5, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 8-6!
Wawrinka's miserable form at Wimbledon continues - it'll be Opelka who will play in the third round on Friday.
While Kontaviet came through against Watson, David Goffin is also through to the third round, after a 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 win against Jeremy Chardy.
Edmund 5-4 Verdasco* (40-40)
From 15-40 to deuce, as Verdasco leaves the door ajar... Edmund anticipates Verdasco's forehand put-away, and hits a backhand winner into the open court.
This would be a turn-up, deuce.
Edmund 5-4 Verdasco* (40-40)
A strong Edmund return gives him SET POINT, and it looks like Edmund has wrapped it up with an inside-out forehand, but Verdasco strikes back a bullet forehand down the line which Edmund can't get back into play.
SET POINT SAVED! Edmund thought he nicked it there...
Edmund 5-4 Verdasco* (Ad Edmund)
After saving a game point with a superb forehand cross-court pass, Verdasco hits out of court and it's SET POINT NO.2!
Edmund 6-4 Verdasco*
KYLE EDMUND WINS THE FIRST SET!
Verdasco goes long, and out of nowhere, Edmund has stolen the first set!
Edmund 6-4 0-1 Verdasco*
VERDASCO BREAKS!
Trouble early on for Edmund, as he hits a forehand wide to bring up TWO BREAK POINTS, and the Spaniard takes it straight away, with Edmund's forehand clipping the net and landing astray.
