Unpleasant, but not as bad as an injury that might hamper him for a while.
Get well soon Kyle!

RJA · Hall of fame

The top seed was obviously running scared wink

I remember last year at Newcastle when Kyle got dehydrated and got the runs and then decided to play, before having to retire after only 1 set of his quarters.
No point in playing if you've got somthing like that.

Ward's defeat is made all the worse as he would have faced a 16 year old wild card in the QF.

LouieG · County player

Given Ward's form this week, today might have saved him the embarrasment

john · Top national player

Wonder if Kyle was invited round to the top seed's hotel room for dinner last night ;)

Means kyles played 4 tournaments and 15 different opponents since wimbledon, and only one person has been able to beat him

I think not!

I do hope Kyle isn't one of those old school Brits who suffer with "alien" food! smile Will be a lot of similar experiences in hotels and restaurants in far flung places all over the world over the next 10-12 years for Kyle.

I'll wager it was some kind of gastric bug in the hotel - much more likely than old-fashioned food poisoning.......ruined a skiing holiday for me a few years back (and many others in the hotel) even though the food was fantastic! Very hard to do anything about it really.

At least its nothing "serious".

Darren & Ruben had better watch out...

Oh dear! As I feared:

A postscript to Wardy's seemingly poor loss earlier this week - Melzer has gone on to reach the Final without dropping a set and is a set up on top seed Haider-Maurer at the moment!
