Bob, wherever you are: "It's OK Bob, you can relax!"

TMH · Futures qualifying

Brilliant win that. 35 points to boot.

ah great thanks - I was about to ask how many points he gets!

I must apologise to our Lord and Saviour Kyle Edmund, and the forum, for my appalling posts about the situation with regards to lucky losers. I submit myself to the forum for punishment.

think this will put Kyle within 2 points of James as far as my quick calcs suggests (taking account of results that drop in and out)

Correct. Although James looks like play two challengers over the French open fortnight so might well add some points to his total.

The list of potential opponents for Kyle is:

KOKKINAKIS
TOMIC
GASQUET
BERLOCQ
MURRAY
ROBREDO
QUALIFIER
CHARDY
DUCKWORTH
VERDASCO
ROSOL
TSONGA
PAIRE
BERDYCH
GULBIS
MAHUT
GRANOLLERS
FEDERER

It goes without saying there is some guys he really wants to avoid but there are definitely some winnable matches. In my opinion the qualifier, Mahut, Kokkinakis, Duckworth and Paire are probably the most appealing.

Strictly speaking it's 25 points for qualifying and a further 10 if he loses in R1, so for all intents and purposes it's 35 as it stands. If he goes further in the tournament, it's only the 25 he gets 'extra' to the points he would get for that round.

Fantastic effort by Kyle, and to do it so emphatically hints to exciting times ahead. Another chance to experience a best of 5 set match, which will only help going forward.

Great win for Kyle! Anyone know when the qualifiers are pllaced? Some very winnable matches in that list!

KyleM · Lower Club Player

The qualifiers should be placed shortly as all the matches are now completed on the mens side and into final sets in the womens games.

Well I rather think that this will be the last time Kyle has to qualify for a grand slam....
