I think this is a fair point. Kyle hasn't played anyone above the ranking of 422 yet in 2 weeks, and while this isn't his fault, this game will probably be the most significant in adjudging if he is ready for the Davis Cup, especially as Crivoi does have clay court pedigree.
'I asked Victor why he seemed so hellbent on getting to net and he said, Im doing this with such players because its my only chance and the key to results. I have to save some energy because I had a tough week. I didnt play good. This is the first day I could feel the ball. I tried to do my best because normally I got cramps in the end of the set so my only chance was to be very aggressive."'
Very interesting. Wonder if Kyle and his team heard these comments.
