A seeding won't help Kyle much if he isn't fully fit/confident.

Positives: Cam didn't qualify here last year, going out in QR1 and defeat in the 2nd round to a seed is not bad. Cam just didn't have enough of anything to bring back to Coric (who has the power and the physical element) and has had several 3 set wins in the last few days.

Cam got further than any other singles male player here so...there's that. Onwards.

Any win for cam or Dan or Jay on clay is a positive, it's all about using it to hone games, do ok but be ready for grass and us hardcourts where they need to shine

Cam and Dan did fine in Rome, Jay has had a decent spell.

All good there. Kyle needs to find some answers and our doubles lads...

Djere out so Kyle guaranteed 32nd seed spot before withdrawals for French Open. Could be important but hes going to have to match last years R3 or he wont be seeded for Wimbledon.

Withdrawal watch for FO - at least the relevant ones within seedings - are Isner and Raonic.

Certainly not guaranteed mathematically yet.

Kyle is live ranked 30 on 1325 points. Quite a lot of players can overtake that. 

For starters, 4 are Berretini, Kyrgios, Verdasco and Albot, who are all in separate quarters and SF points would be enough for each of them to pass Kyle ( indeed QF would be enough for the first 3 of these ). 

And there are other players that give other possible options.

Maybe enough players will be factored out in the next day or two. Ultimately Kyle probably will be seeded for RG, just not guaranteed yet.

Anderson was out before now. He posted on social media saying he was missing the entire clay season - that was a little while ago now.

Berrettini's still alive after beating Zverev in straight sets (plays Schwartzman in the last 16), as is Verdasco, who has now despatched Thiem in three (plays Khachanov in the last 16), but Kyrgios is out after he defaulted in the third set of his match against Ruud...  Albot has still to play Foggy in his last 32 match.

And it's goodbye Kyrgios after another on-court eruption.

 

As Russel Fuller puts it:-

"Court 3, Foro Italico. Nick Kyrgios is docked a game for unsportsmanlike conduct, throws down his racquet, kicks it across the clay, flings a plastic chair onto the middle of the court, packs his bags and leaves. Default. Game, set, match Casper Ruud."
