When he had his illness a few years back, it was really debilitating but never fully diagnosed. It led to Kyle having a period of complete rest, but they did tests for Glandular Fever and ruled that out.
Surely the Beeb know what a 'straight sets defeat is by now ? - "Britain's Cameron Norrie won through to the second round of the Italian Open but Kyle Edmund suffered his fourth straight first-round defeat."
Kyle now 31 in live rankings. Berretini beating Zverev and Djere winning mean if they both win their next matches Kyle May miss out on RG seeding if Im correct in the Maths. A few others could also pass him with Semi Final runs being Verdasco, Chardy and Cam.
Think he will scrape in, withdrawals may save the seeding anyway.
