Damn!! Alexander wins the match. But, what a fantastic effort from Kyle.

Tough match, loss not unexpected but Kyle got fairly close both sets, especially the tiebreak one, some tiebreak and a tough one to lose. Think Kyle would have won a decider but it wasn't to be.
RosieBear
17-05-2018, 17:24
NOOOO!!! What a shame b/c Kyle was really getting into the match after being overwhelmed early on :sad::sad::sad: Superb fight though from Kyle.
JAMES4578
17-05-2018, 17:24
What a pity, dramatic breaker but Sacha takes it 13-11 as Edmund errs after another riveting rally! Great effort from Kyle but ultimately couldn't quite do enough.
Argh not to be, but what a match, particularly the TB.

Brilliant match and a fascinating tiebreak. Kyle seems to be upping his game with every match and the ups and downs reminded me very much of Andy's matches. Sorry he lsot but both of them played well
supergran
17-05-2018, 18:36
Kyle is definitely improving and really fought hard today. I was so disappointed he didn't get the second set. Nothing in it......just those few crucial points. I was so optimistic. Still, he's climbing the rankings and showing grit and determination so I wish him good luck.
Sallydaisy
17-05-2018, 21:14
Very tight match, hard fought, close winning margins.
Kyle didn't start the tie-break well and that really cost him.
Heck of a performance though; Zverev (WR#3), despite being 2 years younger, has shot up the rankings by dint of winning 8 tournaments. Kyle hasn't won any; that's perhaps the difference? Just the confidence of knowing you've done it before. Zverev knew he had to win that 2nd set; he looked pretty tired.
Well done Kyle!

Pity Kyle didn't get the win, but have to say I was really impressed with his performance in this match! :thumbup:
Was a good match in the end from Kyle. Shame he couldn't get the win. He was very close to getting that second set and showed some true grit in the tiebreak after a rocky start. Onward and Upward for him. :)

Kyle will be confirmed as a NCH #17 tomorrow, which also means he will be a top16 seed (#16) at Roland Garros due to a certain player not participating
A 'certain player' is quite likely to enter just to Keep Kyle out!
Raonic has withdrawn so Kyle could even be seeded higher.
Raonic has withdrawn so Kyle could even be seeded highe.
Oops - Raonic ranked 22 at the moment, so Raonic's withdrawal won't affect Kyle.

Sounds like JMDP is a major doubt too so even if a certain player did rock up he'd still probably be ok.
50/50 chance of avoiding Rafa or Sasha in the last 16.

Wildcards gone and he made it clear he's not playing until grass LOL, Hoping DelPo makes it.
Kyle will play the Australian De Minaur in the first round at RG. De M really impressed at the Aussie Open, but I think Kyle should handle him ok on the clay.

With the winner playing Pospisal or Fucsovics
3rd round seed is Fognini(18) who would have gone above Kyle in the rankings if he hadn't lost his semi today

Fucsovics has just beaten Pospisil in 3 and will face the winner in r2

Well done Kyle. :clap:
Great start to his RG campaign.

Needs to cut down on the double faults but his forehand was working well today
lovetennis
29-05-2018, 18:25
Couldn't watch but reading through your comments, it sounds like Kyle played really well. Very pleased for him :jitterbug:
Well done. A good performance. Into R2.
Good win, saw Jerry and Livi were in good seats close to the action
As was Kev he was sat the other side of me. Kyle was in good spirits, got a photo with him at the end. It was a good match :) worth the wait in the rain for
Kyle up next after Heather's defeat.

Bit early for a bagle!
RosieBear
31-05-2018, 11:28
Wow! Brilliant bagel for first, keep going at this rate and won't clash so badly with Cam :thumbup: - shouldn't really be watching the Brits today, it's exam/dissertation season and I've got a stack of marking, but oh well and an all nighter it is.
Rosalind
31-05-2018, 11:33
Was going to watch Kyle with my lunch. Just about managed to drink a prior cup of tea in the first set! :bravo: Some times you feel sorry for the other players.... :hug: just a bit!
roytennisfan
31-05-2018, 11:36
Yep too early for a bagel, Kyle broken 0-2
Rosalind
31-05-2018, 11:41
I don't feel sorry for the other player anymore...

From the sublime to the ridiculous. C'mon Kyle :cheer:

Yep, set gone but Kyle looking perkier again after treatment. Let's go Kyle :cheer:
Switched over after 2nd set...what treatment?
RosieBear
31-05-2018, 12:04
Switched over after 2nd set...what treatment?
Just a niggle with his finger/hand. Maybe blisters. Nothing too serious.
JAMES4578
31-05-2018, 12:23
Kyle got momentum back in 3rd after disappointing 2nd even if blisters, needs to try and keep in charge!
RosieBear
31-05-2018, 12:29
Kyle takes the third :clap: feel like that match is in his hands. Keep going :cheer:

Yay! Well done, Kyle :clap:- so frustrating that he clashed with Cam, but guess we can't complain about having too many watchable players.
JAMES4578
31-05-2018, 14:04
Blip in 2nd but fairly comprehensive otherwise, well done Kyle!:clap::clap:
Well done Kyle, after the blip. Stiffer test coming up against Fabio so no room for a dip there.

Big point when they resume 30-40
Rosalind
02-06-2018, 09:26
Fabio looks like he's just strolled off the beach for a knock-about and then plays like a dream. I swear he's got a paunch How do some players manage to do that! Kyle is his complete opposite!
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 09:46
3-3 broken to love, Kyle struggling in my mind
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 09:48
4th service on trot Fognini 40-0
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 09:55
Broken again, this set looks gone 3 -5
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 09:59
Every Fognini service this set started 40-0. 6-3 Fognini looks well in command. This could be in three unless Fognini slips or Kyle steps up.
Josephine
02-06-2018, 10:04
Loving Fognini's game at this point. Some great shots and variety. Edmund's game a bit lacking in variety.
Gosh I miss Andy and his wonderful play.
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 10:06
Fognini certainly on song and turned that around but a few wild ones from Kyle, just got to regroup though as there may be chance to stem the tide. Edmund holds from 0-30 at start of 2nd, come on!
Early break to love for Kyle in the second.
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 10:16
Fognini bombs 3-1 Broken to love, needs to continue though
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 10:17
Love hold 4-1 take these Kyle then dig in
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 10:20
Fognini does play hot and cold, hopefully this 4-1 lead will be significant and Kyle can build on it.
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 10:22
Third love game on trot 5-1, he won't be like this in the third set
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 10:25
Kyle broken 5-2 in 21 mins
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 10:29
Fognini back in and on top again
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 10:32
Too many of Kyle's landing short and inviting

Rosalind
02-06-2018, 10:34
Too stressed ! Come on Kyle! !!!
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 10:35
Can hardly believe this as back on serve at 4-5, Fognini rising again but kyle tightened up gave him the opportunity. Now having medical time out!
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 10:42
Rollercoaster 6-4 both making errors
Rosalind
02-06-2018, 10:43
Whoa ! Thank goodness.
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 10:43
Well some how Kyle takes the set though Fognini faltered somewhat, come on!
Josephine
02-06-2018, 10:47
Edmund time out disrupted Fognini's concentration as he then sprayed some shots. That was fortunate for Edmund.....
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 11:21
Looking so much better now at 2-1 up but Fognini could still turn it on, ankle issue or not
Kyle leads by two sets to one :yahoo::yahoo:
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 11:25
Kyle going well at this point, however Fognini could still have one of these purple patch despite the ankle issue. Edmund will need to focus well in 4th.
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 11:32
Not unexpected 0-2, Kyle needs to break back now
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 11:37
Doesn't take it, another change of momentum-Kyle will need to fight hard to avoid a 5th.
0-3 Don't want a 5-setter...
Kyle lost in a five setter to Anderson, last year, I really hope Kyle doesn't go the same way.
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 11:45
Great game from Kyle to break back for 2-3, must keep momentum going!
Left the room for 2 seconds and we're back on serve, that must have been a quick break!
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 12:03
Into the decider, wish I was more hopeful
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 12:03
Fognini found a bit extra and into the battle of 5th, come on Kyle!
Fognini is certainly a tough customer...
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 12:27
2-3 Big chance gone, will Kyle get another
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 12:36
Kyle has had chances but tensed up too much, looking tired and Fognini isn't
roytennisfan
02-06-2018, 12:43
Could be over next game Kyle struggling, all down to Fognini 4-5
Such a shame. He doesn’t seem to cope in those high pressure moments. Hopefully he will learn.
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 12:50
Kyle saves 1 mp but unfortunately out, unable to step up when it mattered and Fognini had his usual in and out mix but certainly some magic. A disappointment but hopefully he will learn from it, could've been more assertive at times.
HoopGirl
02-06-2018, 12:54
Shame.
Kyle has improved massively this year. He has a great game - looking forward to seeing him develop even further.
Still don't get so involved when I watch him play as I do with Andy though!
RosieBear
02-06-2018, 13:09
Oh shame for Kyle :sad: Managed to catch last set. I agree with James; from what I saw Kyle saw played well but maybe could have taken it to FF a bit more to edge it in his favour. Onwards.
JAMES4578
02-06-2018, 13:09
Obviously some disappointments but also some great performances from Kyle this season and overall very much on an upwards curve, though still a work in progress. Some people seem to brush aside the fact that he has been a Grand Slam semi finalist!
lovetennis
02-06-2018, 13:33
Shame Kyle couldn't get over the line against Fabio - it was very close in that 5th set.
A point or two here and there and it could have been a different outcome.
Disappointed. But, there's always next year.
Rosalind
02-06-2018, 14:13
Disappointed too but he is up there with the seeds now and has a great mentality in my opinion. Fabio produces some amazing shots and unfortunately for us didn't go awol enough for Kyle to capitalise. Onwards and upwards though I'm sure.
Disappointing for Kyle but he will learn from that match. Fognini is always going to be a difficult player to play and beat on clay.
Kyle is now warming up on the Red Button and no drivel from Castle and Lloyd.
Ryan Harrison serves first and the first game.
Sallydaisy
19-06-2018, 18:14
Kyle just broke back - on serve *2-3
Kyle wins the first set 7 - 6 (7 - 4).

Well done Kyle, played brilliantly today :clap::clap::clap:
Well done Kyle. :swingin:
The BBC seem to think it's important to keep either show Leon Smith or mention that he's there watching. I saw Leon at Loughborough and he sat at the back talking to someone the whole time and hardly took any notice on the matches that involved the Brits.
4 - 5.
"Kyrgios is lightly raced" claims Andrew Cotter. I think he needs to be reminded Kyrgios is not a horse.
I'm trying not to blink in case I miss this match!:big grin:
Kyrgios wins the first set.
The BBC are now playing 'let's get Inverdale to interview the celebrity'. This time, it's Jason Isaacs.
Rosalind
21-06-2018, 14:03
well, at least I'll have time to get all my chores done before I have to start work..... Nick entertaining for 2 seconds in between a billion aces..... :sleepy:
fingers crossed for Kyle but unless there's a meltdown, I can't see it currently :(
roytennisfan
21-06-2018, 14:11
Nick full on today, could be a (decent) longshot for Wimbledon.
Two break points for Kyrgios.
Second set to Kyle, as the crowd roars.
Get in Kyle!!!!!! Well done for hanging in there!
Rosalind
21-06-2018, 14:38
:dance: whoop whoop! oh me of little faith. praying for a strop now :cauldron::smashed::strawberry:
Please keep this up Kyle!
Kyrgios breaks to make it 1 - 3.
Kyrgios does a bit of swearing, as Kyle saves a match point.
Second match point for Kyrgios.
That was a very close encounter. Just that 1 loose game from Kyle early in the third was the difference. Well played both.
The match did improve once it became less of a serve-fest.
traveller7
21-06-2018, 15:22
Such an odd character Nick but still interesting to watch at times. Bad luck Kyle hopefully get your revenge in the doubles
Rosalind
21-06-2018, 17:16
The never-ending aces made it extremely boring imo. Can you imagine knowing little about tennis but turning on the "exciting Nick" and seeing that - you would never watch tennis again! There are a few super shots but lots of the top names do that on occasion. You need more to get to the very top I think - like a more stable character. Lots of the top players are a little "quirky" shall we say but those completely "off the wall" don't make it. Give me stable, calm Kyle any day over the crazies.
roytennisfan
21-06-2018, 17:51
Kyle and Neal Skupski have a good doubles win beating Kyrgios and Hewitt, face another tough one tomorrow...Kontinen and Peers
JAMES4578
22-06-2018, 13:59
Obviously disappointing Kyle lost out in close encounter with Kygrios, however obviously Nick finding form on the grass and has been an awkward customer. Some consolation with the doubles, Kontinen/Peers likely to be tough though.
scrapaddict
28-06-2018, 17:28
so 1 set each and now the decider which could go either way
Josephine
28-06-2018, 18:09
So what happened to Edmund? A bit worrying he lost as Andy was being hit off the court by him.
supergran
28-06-2018, 22:06
He seemed to lose concentration from second set onwards. Argument with umpire and referee over a call didn't help . He also seemed tired towards the end. Disappointing.
They say it's hard to back up a big win. Beating Andy must have taken more out of him emotionally than we realised.
sir coolerking
29-06-2018, 09:52
So what happened to Edmund? A bit worrying he lost as Andy was being hit off the court by him.
Can't help wondering if it was a bit England/Belgium. Do you really want to be playing the weekend before Wimbledon?
Or, a bit like England/Belgium, just got beat by the better player on the day.
After warming up, Alex Bolt serves first.
Kyle breaks Bolt's serve to win the first game.
JAMES4578
