Decent performance so far from soon to be GB no 13

Go Andy! First set and deservedly so. 70% Andy is still a better player than Edmund.

JonH · All-time great

1St set Andy. Could this become biggest ranking shock of the year, a 800 plus position difference smile

Kyle lost the mental battle in that set. He looks so uncomfortable playing Andy.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Kyle overranked and Andy underranked. Pointing out the obvious but still.

flamingowings · All-time great

Kyle breaks 1-3*

JonH · All-time great

4-3 Andy up 3rd set, becoming quite a battle.

Personally, I hope Andy manages to get over the line, we will see

As SC said ( makes sense to me as I am sure to others ), though overall great to see Andy back and winning. And Andy will remain my preference over well anyone.

Hope Kyle can pick things up again in a more 'normal' match. He may indeed have found it a bit difficult.

No, don't draw them together in Canada, just don't !!

Genuinely confused by SC, I take it the way the result reads due to rankings is that it? Or am I a bit slow today

Got to fancy Andy against Copil who is Challenger plodder type generally. Should end up winning a few rounds, final possible as well. I reckon Isner would suit him perfectly in the Semi, could combat that serve plus he has a great record against him as well. A Zverev Murray Final would be a great match up.

For me just simply very happy for Andy and sorry for Kyle. Nout more to it than that.

The rankings are of course askew, well Andy's anyway, but it wasn't really to do with that for me, just having Andy back winning but I wish not at Kyle's expense.
