I'm enjoying Lindsey Davenport on the Tennis Channel :)

They keep saying that it is rare for Stan to show positive or negative emotion.

Kyle on serve : Won 25 points (71%), Lost 10, 0/1 BPs saved.

Stan on serve : Won 32 points (56%), Lost 25, 7/8 BPs saved.

Especially after all that proceeded, I was kind of thinking at 6-1* in the TB it would be quite a tough set to lose [/understatement]

Well done

Set 2 ...

LordBrownof · Futures level

And loses it 6-4. Into a third...

Bit of a change in Set 2.

Kyle on serve : Won 19 points (63%), Lost 11, 1/2 BPs saved.

Stan on serve : Won 21 points (81%), Lost 5, no BPs against.

Set 3 ...

Kyle can't convert any of 3 break-back points at 2-3* and that may be his last real chance as he is broken to 30 in the following game.

2-5*

indiana · Tennis legend

Though he breaks to 15 and that's one break back.

*3-5

indiana · Tennis legend

Holds to 30.

4-5*

C'mon !

QF: (2) Stan Wawrinka (SUI) WR 4 beat Kyle Edmund WR 45 6-7(2) 6-4 6-4.

Pity. Stan gets the better of sets 2 & 3, but it looks to have been a really good effort by Kyle ( I didn't see any of it ). Bodes well for the year ahead.

Wasn't much at all ultimately in set 3 with Kyle getting one break back, but Stan served it out to 15 at the second time of asking.

Set 3 :

Kyle on serve : Won 19 points (59%), Lost 13, 5/7 BPs saved.

Stan on serve : Won 22 points (61%), Lost 14, 4/5 BPs saved.

So near but so far....just woke up and had a read and was getting quite excited until I saw he'd gone 2-5 down in the 3rd cry

Still a great effort, unlucky Kyle. I can see him having a good run in Melbourne.

Hard luck Kyle - it was closed than many might have imagined.
