Bolleli is a bloody good player and has loads of experience but I expect Kyle to give him a run for his money.
I think it will be a close 3 setter and hopefully Kyle can come on top!

The other matches are all finished so Kyle should be starting on time at 2.30pm. One qualifier, Mate Delic, has already made it through to the semis, and the final seed, Potito Starace, has gone out as well. Bolelli still remains the class act in the field though, but the way Kyle has been playing recently, anything is possible.

Knocking up now. What a lot of spectators for a Challenger!

What's the link for the stream please?

C'mon, Kyle.

A few of us have commented on Kyle's year so far being perhaps somewhat "messy" with ATP WCs and Davis Cup call-ups, and I still tend to think that's the case.

But I do get the impression that Kyle has a good head on his shoulders and is able to compartmentalise and focus on the job at hand.

Thanks guys.

Early signs seemed to show that in a long rally Bolelli was winning them but then Kyle has shown his own. Needs to get something on his return though.

Kyle under pressure for the first time in the 7th game, but saves BP and holds for 4-3*.

But of course, you all know that, as you are watching the match just like me.

Great lob from Kyle to save break point there

Few bad errors in this game but so far has reacted quite well to the BP's

Great hold there in the end
