You're biased, so you can watch him over the weekend!!!
MD every time - after all, it's not like he's been lucky in the US. He seems to start to run out of steam after about 5 or 6 matches (who wouldn't at 18?), but starts well, so I'd always take my chances in the MD!!

Kyle now upto 2nd Alt for MD in Murcia, but today is the cut-off day.
Currently 2 SEs likely to be used up, and unfortunately both are below Kyle in qualies and playing week 7 QFs as we speak: 1 won easily (actually he won Mallorca 1 last week w/o dropping a set, now into SF w/o dropping a set!), the other already a set up. But I'm not sure the results matter, as I don't know how either could have made it to Murcia by the cut-off time late this afternoon anyway, win OR lose.......
Assuming 4 WCs, 2 SEs and 8 Q places, there's just 1 place left in the MD for someone in the qualifying lists.........which would mean Kyle just misses out and is #1 seed in qualifying!!!!!! Unless there is a very very late withdrawal during the day.
Alternatively, my maths is wrong and he sneaks in, but don;t think so

The tournament supervisor for the tournament he's still playing can call ahead and sign him in I believe.
Laura not in qualie draw so I'm assuming she's been given a MDWC. 17 out of the top 20 players in the world in the field so it goes without saying getting a win here will be tough.
Great news that Kyle made MD! Look out for a sneaky WC in qualies ranked 179.
Sneaky WC in qualies with WR 179, just got knocked out in the first round to an unranked Aussie !!!!!!!!!
Edit
So in fact, he didn't even make it to the court and it was an Alternate that got beat. I have to say, I had my suspicions given the number of UEs. Trouble is that at this level, a face is a face is a face to me. And the OoP posted in the clubhouse said QWC WR179.
