Just had a quick flick through the match. Kyle looking very comfortable at this level. Didn't seem to need to get out of second gear really.

Any idea what the medical time out was about?

I'm not that worried if he gets into Wimby with a WC, all in good time, just like to see his progression take a natural course. He's doing fine at the moment, without any extra stress/pressure that might bring.

I think it's more a curiosity thing for us rather than a target for Kyle. If he doesn't make it, he is a sure fire WC anyway, so there shouldn't be any pressure for him.

Kyle gets the day off tomorrow as they finish the 2nd round matches in the other half of the draw.

 I know, as long as young Kyle doesn't read this forum ;)

I resisted so long from mentioning to him about surpassing Beechy's CH ranking a couple of years ago as I was afraid of putting pressure on him, only to discover that it was already one of his goals at the time and they spoke about it often.

Somehow, I don't think Kyle will feel any pressure even if he does read it. He is far too level headed for that. smile

A half decent run in a couple of challengers and a decent French Open qualifying could be enough....

Kyle is playing:

Turin Wk 17 42.5K+H where he will be seeded
Rome Wk 18 42.5K+H where he will be seeded
Wk 19 - doesn't seem to be on entries for challengers in Europe, but is an alternative for qualifying in Rome Masters


Hopefully he doesn't end up playing anywhere in week 19. If he does well in these 3 Italian challengers he will be much better off taking a deserved rest before French Open qualifying. He doesn't seem like the kind of player who can just play week in week out and so how he manages his schedule is important.

Good point, RJA. Kyle's scheduling does seem pretty good this year and week 19 certainly looks like break time.

But is an early break down in the second.

Had 15-40 but RH wins 4 points in a row to hold. *1-3.
