Yes, Bob, Mr Klein has 26 points due to come off on 16/09, so Kyle is in pole position for the 16/09 GB rankings ! And Mr Klein could be heading south...

Clearly a bit of a bogey player this Balleret chap, but good learning curve for Kyle as he needs to find a way to cope with players that don't suit his style of play.
Kyle's not like Andy, as in his opponents won't beat themselves, moreso opponents such as Balleret might find a way such that Kyle beats himself. Way to early to make those conclusions really but it will be fascinating to see whether there is a certain gamestyle in future which will prove too difficult to overcome.

I wonder if Kyle will be making the dash to "Como" and for the linguists here, I wonder "how" he is going to get there on time.

I certainly hope so. Weekend in Como isn't the most unappealing prospect I've heard of. Life could be worse. Whether the logistics work, I'm not sure.

I have to say that I did find it strange why Kyle changed his original plans to stay in Italy. After his win in Bolzano, he could have spent 2 more weeks in Italy at 2 $15k+H tournaments (both of which I believe he entered, but later withdrew from). This would surely would have made more sense ahead of Como from a logistical, financial and practical point of view, and given him similarly tough players to go up against. Hey ho!

Can't find anything to conform this but it is quite possible that Como qualifying starts Sunday (Bangkok Challenger does) in which case Kyle can certainly get there is he wants.
