No, I didn't know, thanks Bob. I'll have time to watch it later. I hope.

Berankis will be a tough opponent, but Kyle has just shown that he could well make his first Challenger final, or even win it. He played superbly, and if he keeps that up I'll be very keen to see what happens tomorrow.

TRE-MEN-DOUS !

Now can Kyle be the first Brit into a Challenger final this year ? Looks tough, but on today's form....

Wow what a win! Forgot Kyle was playing and only just checked the score. I was surprised to say the least! Well done!

As far as I can see ( from live-tennis.eu ), in running, Kyle is now the 4th highest ranked teenager in the world ( 20th at 21 or under ).

Whilst I am one who is reluctant to put too much sway on peer comparisons, with different rates of progress etc, I do think it is still worthy of comment. Two of the three above him are just 17 !

In running teenagers :

1 N Kyrgios 760
2 A Zverev 343
3 B Coric 257
4 K Edmund 220

Kyle is 3rd match on tomorrow with play starting at the usual 6am UK time. Looks like the "schedulers" have taken pity on us and given him later starts.

 I guess that means around 9am - which suits me perfectly.

 This Kokk guy is also some player.

For me it will be as much a mental battle for Kyle as anything else, and whether he can come down off today's high quickly enough to focus on the Berankis match. But I think he's level-headed enough and no doubt Greg will be passing on his own experience of similar situations.

Good call re Kokkinakis, Phil.

For he later in the day reached his own SF challenger spot in Lexington to move to 226 ranking points and displace Kyle as 4th ranked teenager. It was good while it lasted :) Now Kyle, move back ahead.

No matches on court at present according to my live scores app - rain??

Works out better for me anyway if that's the case as I've got to go out until 11.30ish smile

I am guessing it must be raining again as the scores have stopped midway through the 1st set.

Off and running again. The ladies match is into the 2nd set, but there is still another men's match to play before Kyle. Going to be a while folks.
