Very winnable for Kyle but Cam will need to be on his game against Peter Gobstopper who is having a run to rival Cam's at Geneva.

Well Cam certainly will be. Kyle needs Fognini to lose to "Gobstopper" in their Geneva SF to maintain his WR/CH 17. 

Though not sure what Cam would think of his RG R1 opponent continuing to the final and maybe winning the tournament. More confident, more tired?

One player who is not in the draw now is Nicolas Kicker, having been found guilty of fixing matches in 2015.

4 lucky, lucky losers will now be promoted into the draw as Krajinovic, Rublev, Chung, and Kicker all out.

Interesting re Kicker - suspicions were in fact being aired way back around the time

Is this the match he was banned for?

 Yes, and another one against Duck Hee Lee I believe in the same year.

A R1 win would see Kyle play Pospisil or Fucsovics in the L64. As previously pointed out elsewhere being #16 seed brackets Kyle with a 17-24 seed for the L32 and 1-4 seed for the L16. These turn out to be (18) Fognini and (3) Cilic respectively.

A R1 win would see Cam play (15) Pouille or Medvedev in the L64. With Pouille being #15 seed, prospective later opponents are in similar seeding bands as Kyle's potential opponents. In Cam's case for the L32 and L16 these are (23) Wawrinka and (2) A Zverev respectively.

Fognini is a horrible R3 draw if they both make it that far, but on the flip side Cilic with his horribly inflated seed is a fantastic R4 draw on this surface.

Kyrgios has also pulled out bringing to 8 the number of dropouts from the men's MD. Here is an interesting tweet from Stuart Fraser

From my understanding of the rules, had any first round or second round qualifying loser signed in this morning (Jay Clarke or Liam Broady, for example), they would be playing Bernard Tomic tomorrow.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

 Hang on, hang on....nobody has signed in because they have gone to play other tournaments. I believe that Trungelliti is coming back from Barcelona to play Tomic OR Tomic will get a w/o.

Fraser would say such a thing from a GB point of view only. How often would a R2 loser or a R1 loser (in the case of Jay and Broady respectively) get into the MD? Probably not worth hanging around for because there would more often than not be sufficient numbers of players above them to fill the places.

Thought Cam might need some decent line judges before realizing that this is a different Gojo.
