Good day for Kyle. Hoping he can do well in the main draw to get some big points

Kyle will take on Gosling's favourite import, Aljaz Bedene

L32: Kyle Edmund (GBR) WR 292 v (4) Aljaz Bedene (SLO) WR 112 (CH 71 in 2013)

The match is 2nd on after 10am BST and unfortunately on Court 5, so doubt we will get a stream.

Tough draw, but at least Kyle has collected some points this week.

H2H 0-1 ... but close - Bedene won 3-6 6-3 7-6(1) in Trnava last September

 And after Kyle had led 4-1 in the 3rd.....

Kyle's match is about to start and it is on the only court that doesn't have a live stream.

OEM reports that Greg Rusedski has just been appointed as Kyle's new coach

Here's the Times article on Greg and Kyle - www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/columnists/neil-harman/article4069637.ece

For those without a sub, the split with Beechy is said (by Leon Smith) to have been 'amicable' and OEM also says "This week, as he tries to make progress on the clay at an ATP Challenger tournament in Italy, with the French Open qualifiers a clear target, Edmund will have Greg Rusedski, the former British No 1, in his corner. It may well become a permanent arrangement" which implies it is being done on a trial basis at the moment.

I have half an eye on the scoreboard, I think he broke to love at 4-4 then held to love.  Good work!

New coach will be liking what he is seeing so far. In fairness, I think the transition from Beechy to Greg has been going on for some time. Certainly Greg has accompanied Kyle on several occasions this year, including Marseille when I met them both.

It would not surprise me if this has been planned some time ago as simply seen as the next phase of Kyle's development.

Beechy - great job. You have given Kyle a fantastic platform from which to build.

That makes sense, Bob - I'd been under the impression that Greg has been spending lots of time with Kyle too. Beechy has indeed done a great job and hopefully Greg can help hasten Kyle's run towards the top 100.

Kyle has won his 4th game in a row to lead by a set and a break
