L32: Nicolás Kicker (ARG) WR 204 (CH = 78 in June 2017) vs (2) Liam Broady WR 138 (CH = 116 in February last year)
Kicker has pulled out -elbow
Quite relieved by that. Kicker might not be at his peak but Liam is coming back from an injury layoff himself and could do with a comfortable opening match or two to find his rhythm.
Agreed, and that kicker has had a drug ban between his career high and now the ranking might not be an accurate reflection of ability, especially on clay. Obviously a qualifier has had matches already; but Id still prefer that!
