Tough doubles draws and also norrie has a tough match v ryan h. Dont hold out hope in that one.

Has cam pulled out? Acapulco schedule shows Harrison plays an alt...or perhaps hes moved to main draw?

Yep, Cam is into the main draw and plays Mannarino, which is not bad for an atp500.

Kyle has feliciano lopez in opener.

Cam is one set all with Mannarino

Jajon · Club Coach

Cam was a set and a break up and then had about 3 or 4 disputed line calls in a v short amount of time and hasnt really recovered since. His grievances did seem pretty justified. How did we exist before Hawkeye x x

Cam really struggling and this tweet says it all really

Norrie was a semifinalist here in 2019, will drop around 20 spots in the ranking.

Mannarino scores just his 2nd win of the year.

It wasn't pretty, though.

Kyle is still playing just now, a set and 4-0 up over lopez. Looking strong.

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

And a comfortable win for Kyle, next up is possibly FAA, who will have flown over from France and plays his opener today.

Well done Kyle

L32: Kyle Edmund WR 45 beat Feliciano López (ESP) WR 53 6-4 6-1

Having been fortunate enough to see in person Kyle's battling win over Lopez in the DC last year, I was expecting a much closer match. That is a very solid looking win from Kyle.

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Kyle being seen as slight favourite to beat FAA and indeed resch semis this week. That would be a result. www.tennisabstract.com/current/2020ATPAcapulco.html
