[R. Jayakrishnan]

Queens:

Blake withdrew, and two special exempt spots also got cleared. So Kenneth Carlsen, Nicolas Mahut and Greg Rusedski are in from the wait list. Llodra, Gasquet and Benneteau next in now.

Halle:

Two special exempt spots cleared. Gregory Carraz and Nicolai Davydenko are in the list now. Next in -- Uhlirach, Popp, Burgsmuller.

[BelgiumDude]

Thanks Jay!
I corrected the lists.
Am I correct to say that Haas and Johansson have gotten a wildcard and that they are not in, on protected ranking??
think last wildcard will go to burgsmuller or popp

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Belgiumdude:

No idea about the wildcards ..

At Halle, to add to what I said above, El Aynaoui and Nadal withdrew from the main draw list. Carraz, Melzer, Uhlirach (inj.prot) and O.Hernandez withdrew from the next-in list as well. So, Popp, Burgsmuller and Blaco are in now. Florian Mayer is next in.

At Queens, Boutter and Salzenstein withdrew, so Llodra and Gasquet are in the main draw. Benneteau, Lopez, Rosset next in now.

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Queens -- Santoro not playing. Benneteau in. Lopez, Rosset, Patience next in.

Halle -- Blanco not playing, so Florian Mayer is in. Lopez, Rosset, Patience are waiting next in there too.

Jay

PS: I don't plan to give these updates every week, but as we are just getting going with the new board I thought we may as well do it today, just to show the possibilities! .. Also, I don't thinnk ATP lkes this info to come out - to be nice to ATP and the tournaments who may not want to talk about big withdrawlas, we may hold back any news coming to us about any big names withdrawing, unless they publish the info. I assume it is not as much of a problem for everyone to know that say Galo Blanco who was initially in the waiting list anyway, is not expected to play at Halle!

[BelgiumDude]

Well, I for one, am very happy you post those things. And I would love it if you kept doing it. But it's your choice obviously

anyone knows the 3 other wildcards for queen's?

[W Fognini]

Fantastic topic.

BYE!

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Queens:

Escude, Malisse not playing. Carlsen decided to play in Halle. Rosset not playing. So Benneteau, Lopez, Patience, Sanguinetti, Bogomolov into the meain draw. Cut down to #116. Goldstein, Levy, reid next in.

Halle:

Arazi not playing. Carlsen in. Cut down to #105. Portas, Goldstein, Levy next in.

I think those are pretty much the final cuts as of Friday night. The qualifying draws may have been made now and all the rest of the withdrawals from now on should be becoming lucky loser spots in the main draw for those who signed in for qualies.

Jay

[BelgiumDude]

Updated the lists again. They should be definite now I think.

And it seems like Agassi isn't coming to Queen's. Anyone can confirm this?
Other possibility, Rusedski gets in with his ranking and not with his wildcard, so Agassi keeps the wildcard, but then Bogomolov shouldn't be in. Perhaps Jay can help?
thanks in advance

cheers

[R. Jayakrishnan]

I don't know anything about Agassi coming or not coming at Queens. We will know when the draw comes out today/tomorrow.

Rusedski made it with his ranking and does not need a wildcard, so if Agassi needed one, one was probably available [Or they would surely dump somebody else and give him one!].

Llodra from the original waiting list is not playing, and so Bogomolov is into the main draw too.

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Yes, Agassi is actually playing at Queens. he has taken a wildcard and is seeded 3rd.

Coria, Marray, Parmar, and Dancevic got the other wildcards as BelgiumDude had listed.

Jay

[BelgiumDude]

Lists are finalised.

In Halle, Ferrero and Nalbandian won't be coming.
There will be one lucky loser.

[BelgiumDude]

I gave the players their ranking of 7/6/04.
you can keep track thanks to the colors!
