Jay

[Eric49]

Does someone know who got the wildcards? I heard Verkerk would get one at New Caledonia....

[Guest]

First Sao Paulo WC for Luiz Miotto.

[ToniX]

Any update Jay????

[R. Jayakrishnan]

None. no withdrawals yet ... Jay

[Guest]

Any updates today? Thanks.

[R. Jayakrishnan]

No withdrawals still, at the two challengers.

Jay

[Tennis724]

Kind of surprising that there are zero withdrawals at this point. One of those rarities

[westaussie]

Luis Horna may be out of sao paolo cause he got entry into the adelaide atp main draw after a withdrawal!

suppose it depends where he wants to play!


Wonder if Luke Bourgeois will play New Caledonia or try his luck at Adelaide qualies sign-in?

Jay or someone else: which other aussies are on New Caledonia alt list?

[Jelena]

Luis Horna may be out of sao paolo cause he got entry into the adelaide atp main draw after a withdrawal!

suppose it depends where he wants to play!

I'm not sure about the rules, but I think if someone made it to the main draw in an ATP-event he has to go there, even if he signed in to a challenger.

Those who know the rules please correct me if I'm wrong

[R. Jayakrishnan]

It is the other way around, Jelena. Once you entered for the challenger (three weeks after the entry to the ATP event) and are in the list, you are automatically cut off from the waiting list at the ATP event. So, Horna will have to go to Sao Paolo. It was strange that he entered for Sao Paolo, knowing that he was just one out with a near-certain chance to make it to the ATP event. I guess he wanted to to stay in South America.

Jay

[Rosie]

Luis Horna is now officially into the main draw at ATP Adelaide due to the withdrawal of Karol Beck form the turnament - so I guess he will no longer be playing in the Sao Paulo Challenger - although heard nothing official yet.

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Rosie - I guess you didn't read my post just above yours. Unless I am not aware of some loophole rule, Horna will HAVE TO play the challenger once he entered there. He knew he was only one out from the ATP event when he entered the challenger three weeks later. ATP and ITF do not allow you to put your hand in multiple cookie-jars (so to say!) and keep the options open. Once you find you did not make the higher level event and entered a challenger, you are no longer eligible to play the higher event. The same thing applies to those who miss a challenger cut by a few spots and enter a futures event a week later (ATP events entry are 6 weeks ahead, challengers 3 weeks ahead and futures 2 weeks ahead) you will have to play the futures even if the cut drops at the challenger.

In fact, what ATP and ITF try to do is to protect the entry list at the lower level events entry list - as they well should. Otherwise you will see players just a few spots from the challenger cut all entering futures and then withdrawing just the friday when the challenger cuts fall. Same thing with the ATP events - the guys who are up to 15 out in the ATP events will all enter challengers, fill up those challenger lists, and then mess up the lists when the cut drops on the thursday/friday at the ATP events. It would be utter chaos.

The players are forced to make up their mind and they will have to stick to it, as far as I know.

Jay

[Patrik77]

Well explained Jay!!! Should be no questionmarks left for people regarding the "entry list case"

[R. Jayakrishnan]

ATP just cut out Horna from the Adelaide list. There you go - so he had no loopholes. He will have toplay Sao Paolo. Anyway, I think he did not want to go to Adelaide for some reason, or he would not have entered Sao Paolo.

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Updates:

Sao Paulo (2 SE spots to be cleared)
OUT: Sa (and Lipsky from ALT)
IN: Olejniczak
NEXT: Ghem, B.Echagaray, Nunez, Vagnozzi, Fabbri, Dabul, Noviski, Villagran

Noumea (2 SE spots to be cleared)
No wthdrawals

[kennycalhoo]

Just as a follow up question....if Horna were to receive a WC in to adelaide, would he then be able to play? I assume yes, since WCs can be given out late.

Sorry - my apologies. I was at work when I made my post and not supposed to be on the Net at all (LOL!) - so just saw on MTF that everyone is saying Horna is playing IN Adelaide and wanted to post the news here - I will be more careful in future - sorry for any confusion.

[PatatRiek]

Just as a follow up question....if Horna were to receive a WC in to adelaide, would he then be able to play? I assume yes, since WCs can be given out late.

organizers canNOT give a wildcard to a player who entered and made the cut for another tournament.

it's simple ... once you are in the original list for an event you have to play it and cannot play elsewhere

It seems like even when a draw is posted to be released on Sunday, like New Caledonia, it gets released Saturday. I'll still be checking

[R. Jayakrishnan]

No. The only thing he can do is to give a medical and sit at home, if he does not want to play the challenger. You enter an event and make the initial list - then there is NO way for you to play another ATP or ITF professional event.

Good to know, thanks everyone. Have a great New Year's celebration!

[Jelena]

The only thing I'm asking myself now is: Why did ATP wait until two days before the tournament to throw Horna out of the ALT-list and didn't do it as soon as the challenger list was out?

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Updates:

Sao Paulo (Second of 2 SE spots cleared)

So Horna decides not to play at all?

Christmas vacation?

[Nathaliia]

maybe Horna was considering if to come or not to come (like Shakespear )

i wonder what happens if a players from ALT in one moment enters two ATP tournaments, where he has to play

have a nice NY celebration.

[Jelena]

I think ATP then calls the player and asks where he wants to play.

Again I'm not sure about that

But the challenger list was out far before Christmas, wasn't it?

[R. Jayakrishnan]

They usually do it only the week before the event, even if the challenger entries are known 3 weeks ahead. This time they probably waited a couple more days than normal because of the holidays.

I wonder if Horna is injured or something? .. Why did he enter Adelaide, then three weeks later Sao Paulo, and then withdraw in the end from there too.

3º WC Sao Paulo João Olavo Souza BRA

[Guest]

[Super-Fabio]

News from Noumea ?

[Adolfo]

whose the WC for the draw from Nouméa ?

Les wild cards : Martin Verkerk (NED-NC), Mathieu Montcourt (FRA-247e), Luke Bourgeois (AUS-333e).
Source: http://www.info.lnc.nc/sports/20051231. ... .html?0228

Let's hope that Verkerk really plays - that will be interesting!

[Guest]

finally, verker is out. Why ?

[Adolfo]

finally, verker is out. Why ?

Looks like he didn't really recover from his injury. It's a pity!

[Guest]
