Kyle was completely outplayed today, judging by the scoreline. No BPs, almost no points against serve in the first set, opponent broke him 4 times in 2 sets. The younger Melzer has definitely been on a terrific run in the last 3-4 months, pushing on upwards towards the 200 mark at speed.
I'd be interested to see the scoreline in a year's time, or whenever next they play - will be rather less one-side, and possibly reversed if Kyle keeps improving. Still an OK week, but Kyle's scores suggested he wasn;t playing as well as the week before, so this result was almost a certainty.
Yes indeed good luck for RG juniors. Actually might be a blessing in disguise for Kyle to play such a good opponent now, as it will certainly highlight current weaknesses for him to work on in the training block between now and RG
