They lost the first set TB. Now 4*-5 to them in the second

But lost the second set tie-break too.

The Spaniards were very solid - served extremely well.

Opened up a bit for Kyle and I suppose it says something for his general fitness as still progressing in his third challenger in as many weeks, I just hope he's got enough puff to go deep into a tournament for the third successive week.

It would be the third in four weeks: 7/7 - Portoroz SF, 14/7 - Recanati R2, 21/7 Astana SF, 28/7 - ?

Still, an impressive month for Kyle it would indeed be.

This is actually his 4th in 4 weeks. Semi in Portoroz, 2nd round in Recanati and then semi in Astana before here. Understandable that he has pulled out of the 10k+H next week and I expect him to take a couple of weeks off. Given that he is not going to the US Open, there are a couple of Italian clay court challengers that may be of interest during those same dates.

But first, down to business and a win tomorrow please.

Hoping for a Kyle v fredricio Ferreira Silva final but not at all surprised they haven't teamed up for the doubles. Sorry about the sloppiness

No apology needed. Not everyone is as "obsessed" as I am LOL.

Woops, I missed Oakland's post in which he mentioned Kyle's "on reflection a perfectly planned schedule for 14".

I am statutory required to say that I am still certainly not convinced :)
