Wauters & Masson will enter for the qualies in Barcelona, they are probably somewhere on the ALT list for this event

Updates:

As usual, we don't report on the challenger main draw withdrawals, just in case the tournaments do not want the info to be released!

Tiburon (2 SE spots to be cleared)
OUT: Russel, Mackin from th ALT list
IN: Sa, Pshanski, Svarc, Boeker, Vahaly
NEXT: Soares, Todero, Gimelstob, Gamonal, Dlouhy, Mazarakis, Guccione, Widom...

Barcelona (2 SE spots to be cleared)
No change from the list above.

I see Masson at about 28th in the ALT list, but not Wauters. Both should be easily able to sign in for qualies if they go there though.

Jay

[Shhh]

Any idea what is up with Mackin? I saw he withdrew from US Future the other week but have no idea what the injury is?

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Update:

No change in either list ... I am surprised that the Barcelona list has not budged on bit so far. No withdrawals from the main or ALT list STILL!

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Update:

No change still!

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Update:

Tiburon CH: No change from above. Two SE spots to be cleared.
Barcelona CH: One main draw withdrawal, Schukin IN. Two SE spots to be cleared.

Marcos is not going to Tiburon, and so there is one lucky loser spot at Tiburon.
