Kyle doesn't appear to be on the entry list for the following week's (week 18) US clay CH event in Tallahassee, which is a surprise.
Originally I think he was looking to do 2 US clay $15ks in weeks 15 and 16, followed by the 2 $50k clay CHs in weeks 17 and 18, but DC commitments got in the way of the front end. Can't believe he'd just go to the US for 2 weeks of tournaments, especially as there's no guarantees he'd make even make the cut into CH qualifying for either let alone coming through qualifying and beyond. No guarantee of much tennis anyway.
There are 2 US $10k clay court tournaments in Florida in weeks 18 and 19 - ideal preparation ahead of the French juniors and likely to be less competitive fields, so perhaps 1 or both might have been tagged on to the trip. There are also 2 GB clay Futures those 2 weeks, which again could be options back in Europe. My hunch would be Florida, given the heat and training set-ups there anyway.

Talking to Beechy while at the DC, the plans may have changed. He mentioned this time about a couple of Challengers and then a couple of futures. So look out for him on the Futures list instead.
Kyle is indeed on the Florida list, ninth entrant , with no players inside the top 300. Can I ask where you are able to see challenger entry lists korriban?
