The results a shame for Kyle - looks like there was not much in it. I wonder whether he's a little rustier than expected going into Wimbledon now - looks like he played well on break points but not tiebreaks :(

goldenboy · Club Coach

shame for Kyle but not a disaster by any means and a little more practice on the green stuff should put him in good stead for wimbledon.

Shame re: Kyle, a match he could've won but maybe a tad rusty first match on grass and all that; hopefully can get some more training in before Wimbledon.
Good result for Aljaz; tougher next time
And so we await Mr. Ward...

Good to see Aljaz getting a tour level win on British soil - his first as a Brit right? Including challengers too?

Well done, Aljaz, shame re the next opponent who likes the green stuff. As for Kyle, just edged out by a rather higher-ranked, experienced opponent, on his first match back: good to have made it so competetive.

He got to a final of a challenger in his first week.

Re: Bedene

That was in Morocco though.

This is his first tournament on UK soil, played an Expo last week in Liverpool

"Chokes" had become "perceivable chokes" in a recent missive, which was rather better wording

Well done, Aljaz, and decent looking performance from Kyle on his return.
