With Nishikori having QF points from last year coming off, Kyle had moved ahead of him to live ranked 21 which would be a further CH. Kyle will now clearly finish the week ahead of Kei.
Kyle will have to win at least two matches to have a chance of top 20 with Chung and Fognini in his sights.
Chung and Fognini have both lost in R1. Robin Haase beat Chung 6-2 6-0 !
L56: Kyle Edmund WR 22 defeated Daniil Medvedev (RUS) WR 51 by 4 & 0
*****
L32: Kyle Edmund WR 22 vs (10) Novak Djokovic (SRB) WR 12 (CH = 1 in July 2011)
Kyle has so far played NoDjo three times, though never on clay, most recently in Indian Wells last year, & has yet to beat him. There's a first time for everything, Kedders...!
