Two players saying 'beat me! beat me!' to one another!

There can't be many 10-8 2nd set tiebreaks in a best of 3 match without any match points (at least, I don't think there were any)

What a topsy-turvy tiebreak. All's well that ends well, though. 1 set all.

Well, we got there eventually. Off for a post-swim shower now, hope for good news when I return......

Kyle had 2 or 3 set points in the tiebreak, blowing the last one with a double fault, I think *6-6

It was more than that. He was 6-1 up at one point. Then a couple of DFs as it went back to 6-6.

Eventually won on his 8th SP on the TB (10th overall on that set) courtesy of a DF from Semrajc.

Perhaps the Green shirt will see him hit top form.

If Kyle can come through this match I think it'll be a huge confidence boost, especially after what happened in the 1st set. He's going to have to dig deep physically.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Kyle has had 3 BPs already this set but still on serve at the moment

*1-2
