Easy.
Kyle had his chances in that game but some brilliant serve and volleying from Isner allows him to cling on. Pressure back on Kyle. *5-5.
Crowd have woken up. Raucous yelling after Kyle spoons a backhand. And now it's 0-30...
Big strop from Isner after being told he's out of challenges following an ace from Kyle. Stunning pass on the next shot and it's 30-30.
Stunning second serve ace from Kyle - 122mph. And he makes it four points in a row to hold.
6-5*.
