Great effort from Kyle a bit too much pressure on his shots towards the end and was over shooting the lines. He can feel proud taking a set off Rafa, more to come.

Great fight back by Kyle after being steamrollered in 1st set. His attitude was great and his ventures to the net were encouraging for the future. Well fought Kyle.
Wasn't able to watch this one but reading the tweets from tennis journalists it sounds like Kyle did an excellent job of pulling it back after being bageled in the first set. It would have been so easy for him to throw in the towel after that, but great credit and good omen for the future that he didn't give up and pushed Rafa all the way :thumbup:
Edmund up against chardy, my back is stilll giving me Jin after a fall last week so I'm propped up by cushions to watch this one. It is taking the edge off by provided a distraction
Kyle is playing well, he had one hairy game which he did well to come out of. Then he broke for 3-1 though chardy did get a break back point in the next game. Edmund did take it to advantage but missed his first serve on the next point. Chardy took advantage with a great winner. Back to deuce
Back to advantage and then a good winner for the game. Kyle leads 4-1 in the first set
Just home - ooh great stuff, come on Kyle!
Another great point from Kyle, including one that should have been a winner down the line but chardy returned it. Kyle took the point with a drop shot 40-40
Ahh well a great serve by chardy, then a ball in the net from Kyle and chardy holds 4-2 but you still feel as if the game could have been Kyle's too. He is really getting into chardy's serves.
A great service game from Kyle, holding to love 5-3 and chardy will serve to stay in the set
Fantastic service game for chardy. He holds to love. Kyle now serving for the set at 5-3 and starts with a ace for 15-0
