Updated - interestingly the Naomi Cavaday comeback seems to be on hold. Despite being multiple entered this week, she seems to have withdrawn from all entries.

Oli is IN Thailand after a withdrawal.... Wonder if he will actually go?!

Keep an eye out to see if Eleanor Dean plays in Turkey after this week's retirement. Still on the entry list this morning.

Back end of the year will be very interesting for Kyle. Lots of forum posters correctly say that every player develops at their own pace. But it's probably time, as a top 50 player of the future (we hope/assume) and perhaps better than this, that Kyle started winning Challenger events pretty soon.

Kyrgios now top 60

Kokkinakis, Coric, Zverev all top 200 and rising very fast..........all in USO qualies, Coric made it through and was the lowest ranked of those 3

All 4 of these younger than Kyle I believe. I'm not saying Kyle is necessarily better than any of these players, just saying that where talent is there, talent prevails

I'd say that the back end of the year will be interesting for Kyle, but not vital. Then again I have associate membership of The Every Player Develops At Their Own Pace Society.

Kyle has still been rising well, is in the 230s in the rankings ( 5th highest ranked teenager in the world, basically behind the four names you fixed on, korriban ), high enough himself to have been in US Open qualifying, although his overall schedule including missing out on the US Open leaves be baffled in parts whatever posts come from the Kyle and team can do no wrong corner.

I'd certainly agree winning challengers is clearly better than not ( and he's not been particularly close yet ) and would be very encouraging for the future. Time is still very much on his side with however an important couple of years coming up.

Korriban Kyrigios is a man in a boys body obviously he is an outstanding prospect but I do feel he us a bit like the teenage rugby player who was always big and then had his growth spurt at 12 and a half. He looks unbeatable by the other boys for the time being but the gap closes not saying that he won't maintain an edge as he is able to be competitive and practice earlier at a higher level.

Zeverev is also precocious and I think that is impart all down to expectation and environment ie successful playing father despite the iron curtain, older brother touring professional and German resources brings with it the perfect combination of no holds barred competition in junior development savy understanding of how to progress where opportunities are limited and unlimited opportunity, I don't know any intimate details of how the family functions but strikes me as the perfect nurturing environment and not to disimilar to Andy's.

Now Coric is probably the closest to kyle in terms of comparison and I would concede to Indy that as we stand in late August 2014 the difference there is down purely to the way Kyle has been scheduled. Fortunately neither player or their development will be judged for another 6-8 years. Kyles trajectory this season has been right on the curve, the decision making rationale, ie initial probing and testing to establish a level, sustained competition at a level that brings significant success but challenges and failure without the later depriving the opportunity for competitive practice. I am sure we will see this processes again after his run of Asian challengers, I think the decision making behind an all on assault on the Australian open versus specific development with a view to attacking RG all in, on his preferred surface will be intriguing and difficult to call. Can't wait to watch it all pan out but have a feeling that in the eyes of some of the tribe which ever call is made will be with 20:20 hindsight the wrong one. But hey if it wasn't there would be nothing to debate
