Kyle Edmund is the only Brit in the jniior event this year, and he has won his Group to make it through to the final (beating Stefano Napolitano - JWR13, Alexander Ritschard and Filip Bergevi ) plus a doubles win with Time Henman. This year the Swiss sports channel appear not to be streaming the junior final, but there are live scores, where Kyle currently is 5-2 up on Mitchell Krueger (JWR14 - beaen by Kyle in the US Open). However the doubles final featuring Henman/Edmund is the third streamed match this afternoon (not before 4pm GMT)

I've got the impression from his scorelines over the last year or so that Kyle nearly always starts a bit slow then improves as a match goes on - definitely better that way than the other way round!

From *0-2 down to 6-3* up to *6-6 ...

Kyle won the first set 6-3, but was broken in game 10 of the second

6-3 4-6 0-0*

The third set proved to be a match tiebreak which Kyle wins 10-? (was 9-6) , so going one stage further than Oli last year and claiming the title smile

Tim & Kyle up against Henri Leconte and Julien Cagnina . Kyle was broken in his opening servie game, but Tim just held. Stream and livescores available (see 5 posts above for links)

Kyle has upped his game after a nervous start, with a couple of excellent half-volleys behind his own serve. Tim & Kyle lead 6-3 (playing up to 8) - excellent stream quality

Two volley errors from Kyle coupled with 2 fine points from the Franco-Belgian combo sees Tim broken to love

6-5*

Tim takes charge in Cagnina's service game, engineering a match-winning break to 15

8-6 final score

Who's the pro?

I/viewer: Are you going to party tonight.

Kyle: No.

Tim. Yes! We'll do his drinking for him while he gets an early night.

LOL

Kyle comes across as quite shy (by tennis player standards anyway) but very determined.
