Nicely done in the TB, Kyle upping his game at the right time.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Pleased to see Kyle come through that TB. We need to remember that Kyle hasn't won a match of any kind since September last year and although he clearly hasn't forgotten how to play, it is important that he hasn't forgotten how to win either.

Good signs.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Kyle breaks to lead *2-1

Needs a solid hold now to consolidate.

paulisi · Tennis legend

double break should be enough 5*-2 up

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Kyle moves in for the kill and goes up a double break. He will serve for the match at *5-2

steven · Tennis legend

Well done Kyle - he wins 6 of the last 7 games

R1 round-up ...

L32: (7) Alex Ward WR 409 lost to David Vega Hernández (ESP) WR 498 (CH 495 in Dec) by 1 & 3

L32: (4) Kyle Edmund WR 372 beat Evan King (USA) WR 590 (= CH) by 7-6(4) 6-2

In R2, Kyle will play Nguyen or Aubone - the latter has taken the 1st set on a tiebreak.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Held his nerve in the 1st set and showed his class in the 2nd.

Get in there.

Good work by Kyle. It will be an exciting season for him.

Get in there, indeed! I'd like to think Kyle has a great chance of winning another tournament pre DC, either this week or, more probably, next week. That first round looked like a banana skin, so it's great to see him finish so strongly, which bodes well for the rest of the week.

Next couple of weeks important for Kyle, James and Evo to try and show some real form. Kyle to me remains an outside DC bet.

I'm just happy that I have real confidence in Leon Smith to come to what he truly believes is the best selection for no other reason than to try to get the WIN.

The word on the street ( or at least twitter ) is that Kyle is in the lead position for the number 2 spot. Winning here may cement that position.

L16: (4) Kyle Edmund WR 372 v (Q) Jean-Yves Aubone (USA) WR 679 (CH 475 in 2009)

H2H 1-0 - Kyle edged a close 3-setter 6-3 3-6 7-5 at Orange Park (also in Florida) last May.

philwrig · Hall of fame

Very impressive 2nd set, just what the doctor ordered.
