[R. Jayakrishnan]

That's it. No withdrawals at Aaachen and Santiago yet.

Jay

[Tomás]

Jay, what is your sources. The official sites hardly ever talk about
WDs. Thank you, Tomás

[Tennis724]

Alex will be the rightful top seed in Homestead

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Hey, please DON'T ask me what my sources are ... It is the info that is available to players from ATP.. You are right - it is not at any public sites.

Actually I only post withdrawals from ALT lists and do not list main draw withdrawals and new guys making the main draw at challengers. I often list the names of main draw withdrawals for ATP tour events, because in many cases that info does comes out at tournament sites etc...

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

No changes in the challenger lists for next week, as far as I know.

It stays at one main draw withdrawal and one ALT withdrawal at Homestead. One ALT withdrawl at Caloundra. No withdrawlsa at the other two challengers.

ATP may be running a bit late in updating the info this week. Normally most of the list movements are from thursday onwards anyway.

Nice to see Aachen have a live feed but even on 1mb line it's really laggy, anyone else with that problem?
