Poor service game from Kyle, inc a missed overhead. Back on serve, 3-2.

Yang has as big a forehand as Kyle.....

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

4-4 all. More big hitting.....A tb is not a certainty, they are getting into each others service games

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

5-4, Yang to serve to stay in the set. Yang is doing a greatr job of containing Kyle's power, and his own fh is not too shabby.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

4 monster serves from Yang give a very easy hold. 5-5

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

A quality returning game from Yang. Many deuces, Kyle saves the first BP. not the second. Yang is doing an excellent job of neutralising Kyles 1st serve, and he attacks the 2nd well.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Kyle broken in a very long service game, Yang put him under severe pressure throughout that game.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Kyle takes Yang to Deuce but loses the game. 1st set Yang. Kyle is going to have to change something. His biggest forehands ar coming back with regularity and depth. I hate to say it, but I feel Yang is the favourite to win the 2nd set as well.

Ack, first set lost 7-5.....

Super game from Yang gives him an early break. He is returning very well and moves Kyle around at will.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

A lapse in concentration from Yang gives Kyle 2BPs, but Yang recoveres hi spoise and plays with controlled aggression to win the game. 2-0, Kyle to serve.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Kyle let his head go down, made 3 UEs. 3-0 Yang to serve.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Kyle doesn't have a plan B. Having said that, Yang is playing very, very well.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Good hold from Yang and I'm afraid it is 4-0. There is no way back from here
