Having said that the start is 2pm, that is of course weather permitting. Unfortunately though, Deseins are not good and rain is forecast.

We'll just have to have in impromptu "bad pun" competition instead.

Sun is shining and play is under way. Muller holds to 30 in the opening game.

*0-1

Unfortunately I have to go and do obligatory social interaction so I won't be able to watch. Hope to come back to good news, and hope that Kyle's serve picks up after a shaky first service game (which still hasn't concluded!).

Wierd 1st service game which Kyle eventually holds after saving 3 BPs and being 1/12 on 1st serves (and that was the final point). There were also 2 DFs for good measure. But he hung in there.

1-1*

Some comfortable holds by both players and we are still on serve.

Kyle : *3-4

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

No more BPs for either player since Kyle's opening service game and we are into a TB.
