Well, at least Kyle got it done

Brilliant from Kyle.

He played very well and came out really strong today .He could meet Thiem in the third round but this win should give him a huge confidence boost .

Anybody watched the Norrie match, what was that!?

Great from Kyle! Came out extremely focused and got it done.

Now for Evo to make it 2 /3 :p

Jan · Hall of fame

Glad Kyle got it done without any drama! Well done. Bad day for Cam.

Yes unfortunately . It was abject from start to finish . Norrie was very defensive and just patted the ball back . No aggression , poor serving. It was embarrassing.

For the record:

L128: (Q) Elliot Benchetrit (FRA) WR 273 defeated Cameron Norrie WR 41 by 3, 0 & 2 bleh

Clearly, my confidence following Kyrgios' withdrawal was misplaced! cry

L128: (28) Kyle Edmund WR 30 defeated Jérémy Chardy (FRA) WR 41 by 7-6(1) 5-7 6-4 4-6 7-5

*****

L64: Pablo Cuevas (URU) WR 47 (CH = 19 in August 2016) vs (28) Kyle Edmund WR 30

Was a strange match from Norrie as he looked devoid of any fight and gave up on points which was very unlike him.

Mind you, big fan of Jeremy Chardy - and he's married a Brit and pays his taxes in the UK.....

Add: and Cam is getting destroyed :(
Add 2: Has just lost the first set 3-6

Taxes: Which is more than you can say for some other people.

Well done Kyle!
WTF Cam!?

Anybody else put a small sum of money on anybody?- in the end put a £1 on both Roger Federer (22/1) and Del Potro (45/1) on Saturday. Should have looked to see what I would have got for any of the Brit.

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

Disgraceful from Norrie

indiana · Tennis legend

Well done to Kyle on handling a tricky situation so well.

Very bad day at the office for Cam. Learn what he can from today and move on.

Vandenburg · Futures level

Tabasco is blowing Evo off the court. Worst possible match up for Evo. Slow courts are bad for Evo, on hard or grass, the slice and spin would send Tabasco crazy. Tabasco is just a ball basher, limited mental ability.

He's got such a weight of shot, Dan is having to play so far back. But he's still fighting for every point. Just had three break points, but unfortunately couldn't convert them. Come on Dan!
