Phew! 9 holds in a row before Kyle got that break. If I remember right, Wolmarans is huge (6'6 or something like that) so when he's having a good serving day, he must be very tough to break.

Just popped back to check the score - 4-1*. Nice.

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

kyle certainly has stepped his second serve stats up since my rant, up to 50% now

Jan · Hall of fame

another break! *5-1

steven · Tennis legend

Kyle breaks again after multiple deuces, so will serve for the match

TMH · Futures qualifying

Other matches are all finished. Winner will play Arvidsson (21yo WR727, CH554) who has dropped just 8 games all week, hitting 4 bagels and including one today against the 2nd seed!

First (Crivoi) and third seed (De Greef) contest the other semi-final.

And after a mammoth game Kyle breaks again! *5-1.

Kyle doing what Kyle does.

steven · Tennis legend

QF: (4) Kyle Edmund WR 372 beat (SE) Fritz Wolmarans (RSA) WR 640 (CH 198 in 2011) by 3-6 7-5 6-1

SF: (4) Kyle Edmund WR 372 v (Q) Isak Arvidsson (SWE) WR 727 (CH 554 in Jul)

8 wins in a row for Kyle

but Arvidsson upset the 2nd seed today and has already won 7 matches in straight sets this week (4 of them in qualifying) with 4 bagels in 3 matches in the main draw. Having said that, he did get a fellow-qualifier in R1 and a lucky loser (who had got through R1 with a retirement) in R2, so today's win was his first big victory.

TMH · Futures qualifying

GSM Kyle 3-6, 7-5, 6-1.

Another great battling comeback. :)

First set excluded, almost identical match to their one last week.

So next up, Arvidsson.

Edit: You guys are ridiculously quick.
