Don't remember that, although you may be right. I think he was Kyle's first victory at ATP level at Eastbourne on the grass..  Or if not the first, then one of the first.

 Forgive me if Im wrong but I have a vague memory of KdS having a great year in the English challengers beating the likes of Milton etc? or am I imagining things?

My memory has gone AWOL, I'm afraid.....

But I note that the bookies think that George is the clear favourite (1.57 against 2.25)

Which I find a little strange but in keeping with the fact that the GB players are always tighter than they should be a match odds, in my view (is that because there are more GB punters who only punt on UK players? Makes sense to me to bet on the other guy - that way you're always happy, whatever the outcome.....)

But will be interesting.... in terms of recent form, the two are almost identical, as in identically bad - both had a really pretty poor trip to Sharm recently.

And, as said, very similar profiles (Jaimee has a markedly lower ranking in juniors (about JCH 80 as opposed to JCH 20 or so). But, given his height, juniors was never going to be his thing and anyway, juniors is juniors.

Will be really interesting....

 Is Jaimee Floyd named for Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink?

 Good question. You'd have to ask mum and dad, it's a bit above my pay grade smile

Always a shame when someone has to retire, but sometimes you have to just accept the luck when it comes your way.

Congrats to George on making the final.

Sad for Jaimee - he's been absolutely plagued by injuries in the past few years.

Very pleased, though, that it's George who gets the benefit

Neither of the players in the other SF are that amazing either (although not chopped liver, either of them)

Been waiting quite a long time for this - GO GEORGE !

Will also be interesting if George ends up playing Kyrian Jacquet in the final (he's lower seeded than Poulain but probably the better player)

Kyrian is the same age as George, born 2001.

Never too high in juniors (about 250 max or so)

But is rated pretty highly - the FFT like him - he's had some pretty important wildcards - and, at ATP 500 or so, has a decent ranking for a 2001-er.

However, not that consistent, has had some behavioural issues, had a purple patch in adults and then seemed to have a down period - so all very interesting....
