Just for info the lonk isn't transmitting ( well for me ) so don't know if Kyle's match all over or still raining or what.

The stream was shut down some hours ago when there was no immediate prospect of play. However the other semi-final (scheduled after Kyle's) has taken place (top seed Hugo Dellien beating his doubles partner), so that must have been moved either indoors or to another court. No idea what's going on with Kyle's match though

sadly im almost certain kyle lost today

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

my initial thought sadly proved correct, but get some of this, so tough on kyle, 6/3, 5/7 e 7/6 (8), em 2h47min.

in that final set tie break kyle trailed 2-6, before pulling it back to 7-6 in his favour, only to lose. btw it was played indoors

Great effort by Kyle without reward, and a similar story for Luke cry

Doubles Final

(4) Numez (MEX) / Uchida (JPN) d. (8) Bambridge/Lama (GBR/CHI) 7-6(1) 6-7(4) [10-5]

After their efforts here, Kyle has moved up to JWR 29 ( just behind Liam JWR 28 who is clearly more concentrating on seniors now ) from JWR 43 and Luke to JWR 99 from JWR 112.

Luke's entry into the top 100 is I think at an earlier point in relation to ITF Junior years than any Brit in the last 10-15 years except Kyle and Andy Murray. Kyle, Luke and Liam are all down to play some junior events in France next month. I guess Liam has entered because his French base makes it convenient and it gives him a break from Futures, but I am surprised to see Kyle down for these, as he has had a busy year with Australia and South America, and has a series of key junior events in May/June which he has already qualified for.

Incidentally Monteiro went on to win the final in another close 3 setter.
