Tough section for Kyle. Busta awaits the winner.

Looks like Kyle missed being seeded by one spot. Mannarino WR 25 is seeded 16.

Cam is not in qualifying, was he just a couple of places out and not made it?

Edit - deleted - draw now out, wasn't when I looked a few minutes ago

could he be going to Tunis instead?

My guess is he was not guaranteed to get in here so will start next week in Barcelona

Yes, missed out by that one spot with no higher ranked player being kind enough to withdraw.

So from that moment, Kyle was at the mercy of being bracketed with any of these players for R2. With the top 8 seeds getting byes R2 will be 8th seed Busta's opening match.

Let's hope Kyle can see off Dolpo. A game against Busta is one I would like to see, a good test of Kyles early form on clay, regardless of the outcome playing Busta early doors will inform Kyle's preparation for RG.

Adolph? confuse

Well he can't be in two tournaments at once, Kyle is supposed to play the Dog tomorrow according to Google. And if he wins the QF, he will be playing SF later today.

Presumably MC main draw wont actually start until Monday though?

I see with Sousa, Basilishvili and Andujar still in Marrakech, they couldnt make the MC Qualies and so Cam would have comfortably got into the qualifying draw. Probably a shame I think that he decided to miss it, not sure if anyone knows why?

On the MC website they have the programme showing 5 first round matches tomorrow and not the 17 google is showing, so I think Google has probably got it wrong. I am sure Kyle wont start until Monday

Hopefully you are right Jon and Google is wrong! Can't complain about no matches with about 4 in 3 days!

Maybe as suggested in the entries thread Cam just didn't think he'd make it into qualifying so made alternative arrangements. But it always seemed pretty possible. I think he's made perhaps a couple of other interesting choices and/or misjudgements fairly recently.

Last direct acceptance into MC qualifying was Sorengo WR162, so Cam would definitely have been in if he chose.

And some of the first round MD matches aren't scheduled until Tuesday anyway, so I'm sure they will accommodate Kyle regardless of when he finishes this weekend.
