V frustrating for his momentum and for his chances of a first title.

But maybe not the worst result if he wants to be fresh next week? For all that Kyle has thrown in some disappointing results on the tour this year, generally at the slams he's performed (even if he hasn't necessarily gone deep)

 

The title part is key.  There was an assumption that Steve Johnson would be an easy opponent but he has 4 titles at this level including 2 this year and so clearly knows how to peak in a tournament.  Honestly his ranking would be higher but for a poor run from the middle of last year following the sudden loss of his father to whom he was extremely close.  I don't see Kyle losing to Steve as indicative of any problem in Kyle's game, I just think Steve is often underrated

 First title is also not technically correct - singles title is though as he and Cam won a 250 doubles title earlier in the year.

The final is Johnson vs Medvedev (Johnson beat him in Eastbourne this year)
