So, Ramos (15), who overcame Pouille (11) in three, versus Rafa in the final... Who'd'a thunk it?

Well, Kyle took Rafa to 3 sets, after which, Rafa won 1&1 (Zverev), 4&4 (Schwartzman), 3&1 (Goffin), 1&3 (Ramos), to take the title. Pretty good effort from Kyle if you ask me.

It was a good effort, Kyle played very well once he got going. Hopefully going toe to toe with Rafa on clay like that, and in truth having the bigger end point weapon, will give him real confidence as to what he can achieve in the coming weeks.

Let's just hope he starts tomorrow.
