This time Kyle holds to 15 as he throws down a couple of aces.

4-3*

Oh if only he could have done that a couple of times when up a break

Patterns of play really repeating themselves now. Zhang gets to the net and forces the error on the 1st point. A big Kyle return wins the second. But then 3 Zhang errors and Kyle is up a break again.

*5-3

This time Kyle. Please.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Errors galore here but Zhang is making more of them. 40-15. YES. Kyle throws in the slice out waide for an ace.

1 set all. Kyle: 5-7 6-3

So little to choose between them. The match is there for the taking for both players. This could go either way.

Comedy of errors. Who really wants the win? Both are offering it up.

Zhang under pressure again. 15-30. Again comes to teh net on Kyle's backhand but this time it is too good. 2 BPs Zhang DFs and Kyle is a break up in the decider.

*1-0

Zhang hits two winners. 0-30 Kyle fights back to 40-30 then puts a straight forward forehand long. Deuce. Kyle holds firm though and another netted backhand from Zhang gives Kyle the game.

2-0*

Did we see some real intent at last with that running backhand pass at 0-30? Let's hope so!

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Two errors from Zhang followed by a stonking backhand down the line winner and Kyle has 3 BPs. He only need one of them as Zhang goes wide with a backhand.

*3-0

Come on Kyle. Kill him off now.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Kyle gets to 30-15 and then throws in the DF. Kyle not happy with the call on the next point. kyle saves but Zhang forces another BP. A couple of big serves get Kyle to game point and then he DFs again. Deuce. Good first serve gives Kyle the easy kill on the next shot and then another terrific BH winner gives him the game.

4-0*

My live stream almost giving up the ghost here. Zhang throws in a real mixture of winners, wild errors, a DF but survives 2 BPs to get on the board in this set.

*4-1

Sorry folks. Seeing very little of this right now. All I can tell you is that Kyle has fought back from 15-40 to deuce. And after about 4 deuces Kyle holds to go one game away.

5-1*

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Zhang holds to love. My live stream is now about 3 points behind live scores and unwatchable.

*5-2

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

I am now working completely off live scores. And I am not liking what I am seeing as Zhang breaks to love. That's 8 points in a row.

5-3*

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Zhang gets to 40-0 Kyle gets two points back (one with a DF) but Zhang holds.

*5-4

Come on Kyle. One good service game.
