Bedene making hard work of this. He's facing another BP on serve at 1-2, a game which has lasted many deuces...

And he DFs! 1-3 in the first set.

ITV commentators suggesting Thiem is already suffering in terms of physicality - breathing heavily and wondering if Bedene can stretch this out he may have a chance in the fourth and fifth sets...

That might be a hangover from Thiem's tournament win last week...

Both players playing some nice tennis. Bedene already has a couple of nice winners in this next game, one cross court as Thiem was approaching the net, and a lovely winner down the line which had Thiem rooted to the spot.

Thiem has had the answers so far, though, with some slick play and a lovely drop shot earlier in the game. Thiem takes after a tussle, it's *1-4

BradMarx90 · County player

Bedene not playing badly but Thiem looking very tidy. 1-5*, Thiem serving for the opener.

BradMarx90 · County player

Chance here for a break back for Bedene at 40-30 on the Thiem serve, two UEs in a row from Thiem...

Edit:

And he takes it! Now *2-5 on the Bedene serve. 16 UEs to the Austrian's 12, although three of Thiem's came in a row at the end of that last service game.
