Class is permanent. Well done to the former French Open junior champions.

If memory serves, French and US Open Junior Champs.

TMH · Futures qualifying

Nice to see Kyle playing with Frederico again. Their partnership at junior level was quite something.

I think the word you are looking for is very good! Junior champions on two very different surfaces (and grass wasn't a total disaster either SF) and they gave the Australian open a miss.

I wonder if the pair are going to schedule a few spring and summer outings together, which might be rather interesting. I hadn't cottoned on who Kyle's partner was when I made my rather cynical ( moi ? ) comment re him just reminding the LTA / AELTC that he could play doubles.

Big challenge in the QF, Huey and Mirnyi are in very good form.

Kyle leads the head-to-head by 1-0 (he beat him by 3-6 6-2 6-3 in the quarter-finals of the Challenger in Le Gosier [hard court] last year).

First set in the bag by 7-6(4).

ooh excellent - I missed the end of the TB!

Is 'Bob in Portugal' ? Hoping he's catching this match somewhere anyway.

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

I wonder if Kyle might see if he can get a WC into some of the British Grass court tournaments with FFS while also looking at a possible Wimbledon WC.

Second set down the pan by 3-6. hmm
