An even more stunning point! Tsitsipas looks out of it but responds with a tweener, Tiafoe is then pushed wide but somehow finds a cross-court return, which the Greek can only net! Team World on the brink...
17:58
TSITSIPAS* 6 - 1 6 - 7 (11-13) 4 - 7 TIAFOE
That's a mighty ace out wide from Tsitsipas as he makes it 4-4. And that HAS to be the point of the match, or even the tournament! After a punishing rally, Tiafoe looks to be a beaten man as he chases a drop shot, but somehow he diverts it cross court for a winner. The 02 are on their feet, the Europe bench look stunned.
17:54
TSITSIPAS* 6 - 1 6 - 7 (11-13) 2 - 2 TIAFOE

17:47
TSITSIPAS* 6 - 1 6 - 7 (11-13) TIAFOE
That match point goes awry too for Tsitsipas, but Tiafoe nets to give the Greek a third opportunity...but he can only balloon a backhand long! Federer, Djokovic and Murray are all living this! And now Tiafoe gets another set point...which he seals with a volley that kisses the line by 6mm. What drama here!
17:45
TSITSIPAS 6 - 1 6 - 6 (10-9) *TIAFOE
Tsitsipas gets another match point, but again he can't convert it. The pair change ends for the third time in an already epic tie-break, before Tsitsipas gets another chance of sealing it...
17:42
TSITSIPAS 6 - 1 6 - 6 (8-8) *TIAFOE
Now Tiafoe brings up a set point, but he nets a backhand! Federer urges Tsitsipas to "take your time" as the pressure bears down on the Greek, and he faces another set point...which is saved as Tiafoe goes long!
17:39
TSITSIPAS 6 - 1 6 - 6 (6-6) *TIAFOE
Tiafoe saves the match point with a lung-busting rally! The 02 is rocking!
17:37
TSITSIPAS 6 - 1 6 - 6 (6-5) *TIAFOE
These exchanges are firing the crowd right up here, with Tiafoe, suddenly, the conductor. But Tsitsipas responds to going down a mini-break to draw level at 5-5! And then 6-5 with a passing shot, to give him match point...
17:34
TSITSIPAS* 6 - 1 6 - 6 (3-3) TIAFOE
And it's all level at the first change of ends, with both players at their limits as they seek to swing the balance of play in their favour. Federer and Murray are among those applauding the quality of Tsitsipas' shots.
17:30
TSITSIPAS 6 - 1 6 - 6 *TIAFOE
And with that advice ringing in his ears, the American takes the first point in a Tsitsipas game for the first time this set! But it amounts to nothing, with the Greek holding to take the set to a tie-break. Here we go...
17:29
TSITSIPAS* 6 - 1 5 - 6 TIAFOE
Tiafoe holds to make sure he will have at least a tie-break in this set, before he sits down and gets some advice on how to challenge Tsitsipas more on serve, with Tommy Paul suggesting he stands further back. Let's see what he does..
17:27
TSITSIPAS 6 - 1 5 - 5 *TIAFOE
Tsitsipas has been in his arm chair on serve today, and it's another hold to love. He's lost just five points on serve in this set!
