Marin Cilic is playing here as a wildcard - have to say, thought hed retired, is this a one off or an injury return?

Wonder what Kyle's plan is in terms of career or if he's just playing because he loves it. Personally can't see him getting anywhere near back to where he was but it's always good seeing him win matches. He's only 29 mind you, wouldn't be surprised if he started playing more dubs.

 Welcome to the board, LPats. Good to see Kyle qualify. His start of season was going ok, I had hoped he would be getting near to Aussie Open qualies type level towards season end, but it doesnt look likely. Im guessing hes got decent money behind him to keep on at this level for a while, but it must be frustrating. 

is he still carrying an injury or is it more about form now?

I think he is still struggling with fitness, related to the knee issues.

Good to see him put back to back wins as they have been fairly rare recently.

I think you are right.  It is a case of him being fit enough to play a match, but not fit enough to put in the workload in training that would be necessary for him to regain his former standard.
