Me too, but fortunately not Kyle who serves out to 30 for a 2-6 6-2 6-3 victory . It will be either the top seed or third seed in the final

I can start breathing again now. He has come a long way in a short time, from when I had the privilege of seeing him play in Spain at the start of the year.

Go Kyle !!!!

well done Kyle! Hope one of his mates or the travelling group coach was checking out the other semi to work out a game plan. Good luck for tomorrow!

Who was the last Brit to win a Futures at 17yo. Was it AM ?

Spectator · All-time great

If I remember correctly, Mr Krueger said (in gracious tribute, not to complain) that the Wimbledon match had been an odd one to have in the first round, as he felt that Mr Edmund was one of the eight best juniors in the world.
