annd another break. kyle's opponent is double faulting all over the shop. i'd say he's averaging about 2 per game.  which is good, because it seems the only thing kyle's having occasional trouble with is the bounce off the french lefty's first serve.  mostly on serves to the body.

a pair of holds, and now kyle will serve for the match at 5:2 in the 2nd set.

the black-socked kedders gets agitated by a return on the first point called in when he thought it was out, and he proceeds to lose his serve at love, with a double fault of his own thrown in for bad measure.

Only caught a few minutes of this, but Kyle's power looked far too much for Favrot. The French number 1 Couacaud might have made it more of a contest, but I'm not complaining.

The final tomorrow will be against South Africa or more likely the second seeds Italy, who we beat narrowly in the Borotra Cup.

Luke and Evan won the doubles 6-4 6-2. Guess they will be the doubles pairing if needed tomorrow, otherwise would have been pointless playing?

FINAL: (1) GBR v (2) ITA

Italy are Gianluigi Quinzi JWR 58, Stefano Napolitano JWR 100 and Matteo Donati JWR 154.

H2Hs (from ITF & TE combined, no doubt they have played each other in younger TE age groups too) are:

Kyle: 0-1 v Quinzi, 1-0 v Napolitano
Evan: 1-1 v Quinzi, 0-1 v Napolitano
Kyle/Luke: 1-0 v Napolitano/Donati in doubles

Unfortunately, since they go by ITF rankings, if Kyle and Evan play singles again, they'll both be playing the Italians they have 0-1 records against.

Hopefully just happened on the day that Kyle and Evan lost these matches rather than any particular issues with the particular player.  So don't necessarily see it as unfortunate that they have better head to heads against other players.

I'm always generally more interested, certainly at senior level, in form and rankings than past head to heads. 

Not saying I don't want to see head to heads, which folk go to trouble to find out  smile

0*-2

A few mis-hits from Evan so far, who goes down 15-40, but a couple of good first serves enables him to save

1-2*

Two holds to 30 - noticeable that the crowd is largely behind the Italians

2-3*

Napolitano goes down 0-40. As in his opening service game Evan misses two returns on breakpoint, but a good return on the third forces the error from the Italian

4*-4
