is this nick writing this? surely no one else can see the sense in having a 15 min match in the first round of the biggest tournament.

If I was a Nick Kyme Fan, I surely would not want to see him get destroyed in 15m in front of his friends and family. The promoter would look bad (in my opinion) by setting him up for a big failure. Let him go out on his own and earn his way back to this event by playing in the smaller tournaments like everyone else. I agree that wildcards should be for qualifying only, if a player can get through that then he has earned a place in the main draw.

I agree with PSA player. What part of "hundreds will support the local" and "nobody watches the 1'st seed in 1'st round" don't you people understand? I wonder if the people on this board have ever even seen professional squash matches???!

Some of yall are just ssssooooo negative!!! How is the guy supposed to improve his squash if everyone is making him feel like the worst player on earth?!? He doesn't have to lose, anything is possible. He could feed off the local support and play the best squash of his life to seriously challenge Thierry and provide good entertainment as well. Then they would get more sponsors and then Bermuda would continue to be a fix on the world tour. Have you even realised that Bermuda is the only Caribbean country to host a PSA event??? Due to Bermuda's success, they have even approached other countries in the Caribbean to host PSA events, which would further expand and enhance the PSA World Tour. The powerful squash countries like Australia and Egypt can't even host a tournament as big as what a tiny nation like Bermuda is having. Give the guy a chance, all sports have cinderella stories once in a while.

Kyme could play out of his tree, Lincou would hand him his behind on a plate anyway. There is no way Kyme will win unless Lincou fails to turn up.

Anyway, the argument here isn't about Kyme in particular, it's about the wildcard. Kyme just happens to be in the limelight since he has received the wildcard in the biggest event on the calendar.

I think the bottom line is, if it helps to get sponsors and make a tournament of this magnitude possible, then we should be applauding the PSA and Bermuda for hosting the event and Kyme, as a Bermudian, should get the wildcard being their number 1 player. Anyone complaining is simply envious. If it doesn't make the jack of difference whether sponsors will put up the money for the tournament then the wildcard rule should be yanked.

I don't know what you guys are talking about Kim use to play number 3 for Trinity college and they were the world champions, I think he will do great.
