Sam Querrey brings up a second set point - AND WINS!!!

First set 7-6 to Sam Querrey courtesy a bum forehand return from Marin Cilic.

Sam Querrey absolutely FLUSH to the net here and there's some gutsy shots. He takes a big swipe and brings up set point!

Beautiful positioning there from Marin Cilic as he slots a great quick forehand winner in and Querrey can't reach it in time.

4-3 to Cilic in the TB

We're headed to tiebreak!!!

SIX aces already for Marin Cilic. That's what you get in a battle of big servers. Looks like this is headed to tiebreak...

6-5 to Cilic!

How fast are these serves?

And it's raining aces down on Centre Court. Don't think anyone's surprised by that I reckon.

5-5 in the set.

Cilic has held for 5-4 with a couple of textbook aces down the line as the American tries to pull it back a little.

28 minutes and we're 10 games in.

Lightning fast serves from Querrey here to stay in it to .. maybe win it. Despite being off consecutive five-setters, he's showing no signs of fatigue.

And Querrey is firing back. After Federer's 'weak backhand' became his weapon this year, it looks like Querrey's followed suit. Some great shots from the American and he's going level now in the first set.

4-4.

Neck and neck here. Big forehand winners and a bit of running at the baseline, a couple of net tries by Cilic but mostly these two are sticking to a standard game.

And their games are quite similar, too.

4-3 Cilic, who's ever so slightly better on first serve.

Querrey, who's had three 5-set matches in a row, is fleet of foot today and bouncing around the baseline to give Cilic a bit of exercise.

It's proving effective and a great forehand down the line is out of Cilic's reach.

3 games all in the first set!
