Cilic, the top seed, has just been beaten by 6-7(5) 6-4 6-0 by the unseeded Frenchman, Adrian Mannarino, in Tokyo...

Mannarino is having a good year. He may not have been seeded here, but he's top 32. Not sure a loss to him is a particular sign of weakness ... though that 6-0 final set might be.

Good to see Aljaz still in the draw after his retirement in Beijing.

The head to head does only provide ATP results and so it is encouraging that when they met on hard courts at the Lexington Challenger this year Aljaz beat Lorenzi.  That being said I am far from convinced that Aljaz is fit enough to be playing at the moment and I fear a first round retirement.

Play starts at 6am UK time and Kyle is 3rd match on. Looks like Aljaz will have one extra day to try and get fit following his recent retirement,

  Sums up Kyle, against weaker opposition, eg ranked 50-60 and lower,  he can really bully them with his forehand,  but against anyone top 20, he really struggles.

Going to stick my neck out and say this will be Kyle's 1st win against a Top 10 player. I think Cilic is there for the taking.

All I can hope now is that I haven't put the mockers on things.

 ... to win.

Some of the scorelines and indeed performances for quite a lot of the time ( while in tough competitive mstches ) haven't been exactly struggles,

Though yes crossing that line would be good. A CH 15 win at this stage is becoming a bit of an anomaly and well time to right, and winning is quite important.

L32: Aljaz Bedene WR 50 (CH = 45 in November 2015) vs (3) Alex Zverev (GER) WR 4 (=CH)
