that is not possible...are you sure your info is correct??? cos ATP has not posted that draw, they are very lazy lately

It's on the St Petersburg website. This is what I think happened:

I believe that when the draw was made, Moya was top seed and Safin number two. Since Moya pulled out, Safin was made number one, and the next person in the entry lists was put into the second seed's position, as opposed to rejigging the entire draw.

hmm ... Moya pulled out days ago

I think the draw on the St Petersburg website is not correct, Safin & Hrbaty can't be in the same half of the table and Benneteau can't be seed

matches could be correct, but they probably fucked up when putting the 8 tables online. the table with Hrbaty should be at the bottom of the draw

In St Petersburg, Ferrer/Martin probably pulled out of the doubles draw (both of them lost "miserably" in the first round). ATP web site order of play for tomorrow indicates clement/llodra vs muller/mello...probably alternates...
