Sorry, but more often than not Kyle has become the nearly man. i.e puts up a good fight, but ends up losing a close match.

I'm not convinced he has the grass court skills either. He has that big forehand, but not the subtilty needed yet for grass.

I bet you that Kyle does get a Wimbledon MD WC though. On balance, I'd agree with that.

MD WCs to James, Kyle, Dans E, C & S, and Q WCs for Dave, Marcus and Oli ?

 I think Dave Marcus for qwc Oli I think should go through the knock out tourney to earn QWC

Can we move wild card discussion into an appropriate thread and leave this thread for discussion about the Nottingham challenger?

Nice to see the organisers schedule every Brit other than Kyle to play their first round match on Wednesday when it is forecast to rain all day.

 Not good news, was planning to head up there tomorrow cry

Edit: still planning to go, after all there should hopefully be dry spells and being only a 55-mile drive with free entry it still seems too good a chance to miss. Weather permitting I shall be wearing my green t-shirt with a tennis racket, so anyone who spots me feel free to introduce yourselves and have a natter.

Just a few thoughts on Kyle's match.
Sela played like a wily old campaigner, but for 3 games at the end of the 2nd set Kyle blew him off the park by injecting so much extra pace into his ground strokes. Sela breaks up all of Kyle's momentum by a perfectly timed toilet break at the end of 2nd, raises his level and bingo everything changes in the 3rd. But it's very important that we don't expect too much to soon from Kyle and just let him develop at his natural rate. He will be a helluva player in time, we just need to be patient.

@TOPapostador reporting that Ebden has withdrawn with "physical problems". At least I think so according to my limited Spanish. Presumably a LL for Dan?

Your Spanish is better than you give yourself credit for.

Kutrovsky is first in line, followed by Corrie.

Good for me in a way, was supposed to be going today but my mate stood me up last minute, I guess it would have been a wasted day anyway
