First set gone 6-4 and now Kyle is a break down in the 2nd as well. This is not going according to plan.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Going from bad to worse here as Kyle is now 4-6 1-4* down.

DF · Tennis legend

Lost 4-6 2-6
Skugor 2 Brits 0

Kedders goes down 4 and 2.

In the words of Jamie Lawson......I wasn't expecting that cry

Surely there must be some underlying issue?

Edit - that very song is now playing on my local radio station. How apt....

Here we go again - someone looking for excuses. Well that's how it comes across again. If the nationalities were reversed there would be people on here hailing what a great win it was for Skugor and whatever condition Edmund was in would be largely ignored.

I realise this a British messageboard so I can accept an element of bias up to a point - just not this notion that the other way player can't possibly have played better and only won because our favoured one didn't.
