There is play on some outside courts now - live scores showing for courts 5,6,7 and 11. And Andy has started his match on Ashe, whilst the women's match on Armstrong could be near a finish.

Off to watch on TV !

I'm guessing it was re reaching R3 for the first time in 7 attempts. It seems quite recent that Kyle was reaching the SF of the Aus Open, let alone a R3, and I did wonder momentarily. But yes, it refers to his last 7 attempts starting from the US Open later on in 2018.

Saying "last seven attempts" would have better focussed on it being particularly a recent Slam issue while having gone further previously. A casual observer might take it that Kyle had never reached a Slam R3.

And don't forget Roland-Garros in 2017.  wink

Oh , sorry folks !!  I read it as completely ignoring he had reached a semi-final and was implying he had only every reached a 3rd round.    I always see Kyle as a 'former semi finalist'  (at AOT), not someone who only  reached  R3 once,  in all slams.

 Indeed Kyle reached at least R3 in 6 of his 8 Slams immediately prior to these latest 7, and 6 out of his total 21 MDs including this one - that 2018 Aus Open SF, 2016 US Open R4, and four other R3s including yes 2017 RG.

While the article is factually correct ( though possibly misleading ), and Kyle's recent Slam record is not great, I am sure you were not alone JC in saying - wait a minute.

Good to see the Brits out waitching Andy from their boxes - Joko, Joe Salisbury, the Skupski's and Kyle all out there.

Unforced error count must be one of the highest in his entire career.

Awful match up for Andy, and really not easy peasy japenesey.

Andy has clearly been taking inspiration from Cam. Let's hope it continues that way in the 5th.

Almost like he was trolling everyone to prove that he could play 5 sets...

Andy hasn't come back from 2 sets down to take it to a 5th set in a Slam since well his last Slam match - that tremendous effort vs Bautista Agut in the Aus Open 2019.

Let's hope for a better final outcome!

Incidentally the score against RBA was 4-6 4-6 7-6(5) 7-6(4) 2-6

So great to see Andy break back in the final set here for 4-6 4-6 7-6(5) 7-6(4) *3-3
