What a way for Kedders to get the break in the 2nd set. Facing a smash he spooned a lob off the frame which dropped perfectly in the corner. A set down, but a break up.
By a country mile, that third set was the best set of tennis I have seen Kyle play in his various attempts at a comeback. Let's hope the momentum keeps rolling.
L16: (8) Anton Matusevich WR 430 "defeated" (SE) Jacob Fearnley WR 646 by a walkover
Shame. I was looking forward to seeing how that match panned out. I do hope Jake's not seriously injured.
I do wonder if Jacob is prioritising the Challenger in Indian Wells next week. So might be a travel thing. Guess well find out if he withdraws from that or not in the next 24 hours.
Seems like that was just wishful thinking! He has withdrawn.
Jake had a shoulder injury which affected his serve. This was towards the end of last season and I wonder if this has recurred after winning the Swiss tournament last week.

Jake dropped out
Ali G dropped out
George L retired in the 1st set
As I think somebody else suggested, quite possible that there is a bug going around, rather than injuries.
