Overview

• Fearnley defeated Roberto Bautista Agut 7-5, 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in a late-night match that was moved to the Grandstand and lasted three hours and 24 minutes.
• He struck 20 aces but also 18 double faults, which he attributed to nerves during the most pressured service games.
• He said a vocal spectator switched allegiance mid-match and unsettled him during key moments in the third set.
• The result made him Britain’s only singles winner on day three, joining Jack Draper, Emma Raducanu and Cameron Norrie in round two.
• He arrived on a five-match ATP losing streak and now gets a significantly tougher assignment against Zverev, scheduled for Thursday.
