Great news for a Saturday morning! Well done Kyle

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Well that has woken me up this morning. A very good win and a 2nd ATP semi final.

Has to have an excellent chance of his first final too. Harrison is a good player but when you are talking ATP semi final, there are more scary opponents around than him.

Does anyone know if Kyle has appointed a new coach yet ?

Just posted more about this in Kyle's personal thread, but it does appear (according to the Daily Mail) that Kyle is working with Hilts this week.

TMH · Futures qualifying

Good to see Ryan Harrison back in the top 50. He got to this ranking at such a young age then really struggled with his demons after, falling back outside the top 150 at one point.

Wouldn't mind seeing him lose this one though mind. Great to see Kyle back in form.

Mervatron2 · Challenger qualifying

Great to see Kyle string some wins together.

Would be a great place to win his first ATP title.

You next mission, young man, is to win 3 main draw matches for the first tournament this year. I only realised today ( well now yesterday ) that he hadn't so far done so.

Well done, sir, mission accomplished and looks rather emphatically too. Well, provisional mission, no need to stop there.

Win the SF and it appears that Kyle will be at a live #39, which would be a CH with only Kohlschreiber in Hamburg ( if he won the title ) able to pass him this week.

And his live race position is up into the 50s so that might stop some folk ( moi? ) mentioning so much his year to date being so far behind his ranking. At times it could certainly have been rather better this year but this is certainly a good start to the US hard court season. Good stuff.

Isner awaits the winner of Kyle's SF, having comfortably beaten Muller in straight sets.

Harrison served for the first set at *5-4 but Kyle broke back and then held. Kyle now leads 6-5*

Come on Kedders.

steven · Tennis legend

Harrison has just won the 2nd set 6-3

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Perhaps waking up in the middle of the night to watch the 2nd set live was not such a good idea.

Come on Kedders. Make it worth my while.
