Duckworth has withdrawn, so Kyle has a walkover

Easy night for us all! wink For what it's worth, he's (Duckworth, that is) the top seed in Tazzie...

I'm very tired, someone remind me of Kyle gets points/prize money runner-up if he loses the final, or just semi-final points and/or money?

He gets all the runner up goodies ( which is entirely logical given he or any player in such a situation might well have won anyway ).

I think the principle is that once you've won your first match then you get points and money for whatever round you reach whether by win, retirement or walkover.

indiana · Tennis legend

You'ed get R1 win points & money for a retirement and I'm almost certain a walkover too ( though here you'ed expect a LL to be available ).

I think just reaching R2 by a bye is an issue, certainly re points.

Jan · Hall of fame

all good!

thejester · Satellite level

Thanks Indy and Optimist. So that's a decent chunk of points covered, though a title here would be superb. Not that I'm overly concerned by Kyle defending points. As said there's a much bigger picture for this lad and he's more than proved himself to be capable of getting wins at challenger and ATP level

theemptyvessel · Club Coach

So two brief matches and a walkover plus he spent the week in Hawaii. Now I am even less concerned by his workload

TMH · Futures qualifying

The only time a player doesn't get the ranking points for making a round (and I'm not sure if it applies to prize money too) - that I'm aware of - is when a player has a bye in the first round. In that situation (only with the Masters and some ATP events), if the player loses in R2 having had a bye in R1, they only get R1 ranking points (usually 5-10 points for turning up).

8pm streamed and Kyle 1/5 with the bookies
