Well, well, well. Kyle breaks back to love when Zverev was serving for the match,

*5-5

Game on.

Bloody hell! Where did that come from?

Excluding DFs Kyle had managed to win 6 points off Zverev's 36 serves in play prior to that game.....where he broke the German to love!!

Couldn't have put it better myself !!

Now after a comfortable hold for 6-5* we need more of the same.

Vamos !!

So 6 from 36, followed by 8 from 9!!!!

Set to Kyle 7-5!!!! smile Remember he was *1-3 0-40 down at one point in set 2, having been walloped 2-6 in set 1. Impressive

Kyle gets broken in the first game of the decider.

Why do memories of him playing Carballes Baena in Murcia keep coming back to me ?

Let's hope this one comes out differently.

Coric is the first one through to the semi finals

*0-2. This service game is a must. Would be a shame to waste that back-to-the-wall set 2 performance now.

korriban · Challenger level

Toast. I'm convinced he must have a problem on serve....shoulder problem or similar.

Kyle cleverly positioning himself for the come back to end all come backs at 0-5* wink

Ouch - 0-5*

I've just seen the scores, I had to call in the District Nurse for my husband so I hadn't had time to check before.

0-5*

Break Points.

Kyle 3/3

Alex 5/20

In other words, the scoreline is actually deceptively in Kyle's favour. If it's simply a case of "Zverev played better on the day", I'd be amazed.....those stats (given Kyle's pedigree and the fact he's 2 years older) suggest a problem somewhere. Hope we find out.
