Break then a hold to love! Come on Kyle!
....... and Kyle breaks again!
Wow three games in a row!
Unfortunately, Djokovic breaks back.
Gutsy hold there from Kyle. 4-4
Alas not to be, but a great tournament for Kyle, all a learning curve, a great future ahead, ...Well Done Kyle!!!!!:thumbup:
He's had such a great US Open, I'm sure it won't be too long before we see him this far in to a slam again. Well done Kyle! Brilliant stuff
Radio five live did live commentary on the match. I found it weird that Novak was cruising in the first two sets and, then when Kyle breaks back in the third set, Novak had to suddenly called the trainer on as he was having problems with his arm. I had hoped Kyle would give him more of a match.
Kyle played well but he obviously felt that, to have any chance, he had to redline it and made more unforced errors than he normally would. The score makes it look far more one sided than it actually was. In a lot of the rallies he was going toe to toe with Djokovic who was on fire. He had a number of break points but, sadly, couldn't convert. I also thought it strange that the first time that Kyle broke Djoko immediately called the trainer. He hadn't shown any signs of discomfort before that - or after, come to that.
Oh dear, perhaps an opponent too far?
Nole winning 6-2 6-1 6-4 is a tough one to take although Kyle did manage to break him.
Wonder just how bad this arm/wrist/elbow problem is for Nole?
