Winner to face either Fognini or Lajovic

I am intrigued about the phraseology. Is there really any doubt of the winner?

Doonan · Intermediate Club Player

Agreed. Bye really is an overrated player, cant remember him winning any of his matches.

I feel sorry for him. Seems to have to play a seed an inordinate number of times. Guess he needs to push up his own ranking.

I note that they don't give his nationality - do you think he's Russian?

Kyle has a different opponent and has taken the first set.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Kyle won 6-2 7-5 and will be around 600 on live rankings

Nix · Futures level

It's great to have Kyle back and getting through matches. His serve seems to be firing pretty well when it's going in. Despite only getting 59% of his serves in he managed to serve nine aces and won 97% of his first serve points!

Much stiffer test in the next round with Bonzi, who's had a really good year, reaching top 100 for the first time last August and top 50 in July, winning a couple of Challengers and beating a couple of top 20 players in ATP tour matches.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Kyle now just 2 wins from the Top 500. Tough matches though, given his current level.

Both Jack and Kyle on again today, plus all 3 doubles players. I havent checked if this is on Prime, worth a watch if it is.

the addict · Tennis legend

Prime have coverage of this tournament, but only appear to be showing the Stadium Court, and not the other three. Jack is on Court 2 and Kyle on Court 3 today so probably not shown on Prime. Doubles is on Court 4
