[tasmanian tiger]

why is puerta on the acceptance list if he's suspended?

[Björki]

what is with Pim Pim Johansson? No protected ranking?

[Patrik77]

what is with Pim Pim Johansson? No protected ranking?

He has a protected ranking of 21 that he´s gonna use later in the season (for the grass-season and the hard court tournaments in USA).

[Judio]

why is puerta on the acceptance list if he's suspended?

Because he is appealing his sanction

[Eric49]

So this could be his last tournament.....

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Puerta was in the Indian Wells list also when ATP released the initial list itself, but he was shown as crossed out and the entry cut was shown to have moved down by a spot. We simply did not mention the name in the Indian Wells thread as he was already cut out. For some reason, ATP has not cut out Puerta yet from the initial list for Miami. I suppose they may do that later.

We will see what happens and when he will be taken out from Miami. I am also assuming that this may have something to do with his appeal or something.

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Well, Puerta is now cut out from the Miami list .. So, same deal as at Indian Wells.

Early Update, Miami Masters.

OUT: Puerta, IN: Berlocq

Jay

[Ben M]

R. Jayakrishnan May I ask you how you know all of these facts concerning entry lists? You're pretty impressive

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Well, these are all information available to ATP players. I am not a player, but I have contacts ...

[Guest]

D.Young aka as Mr. Wildcard receives another one .

Let’s make a count:

* WC’s at ATP tournaments : 12 ( 3 of them at qualifying draw )
* WC’s at Challengers : 4 ( 1 of them at qualifying draw )
* WC’s at Futures : 4

18 WC’s before the 17 years old and counting . Best result : Semifinals at a future . Not even a match won in challengers . Another clear prove that the level of juniors circuit last year was just ridiculous

[Rose]

Guga is apparently out - can his wildcard be given to someone else?

[smucav]

http://www.nasdaq-100open.com/news/pr/news21742.html

Guga's wild card goes to Sam Querrey (not Robin Soderling)

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/tennis/sfl-bmw16mar16,0,7649399.story?coll=sfla-sports-tennis

Nasdaq wild card

Sam Querrey, the 18-year-old American prospect from Thousand Oaks, Calif., is expected to get the Nasdaq-100 main draw wild card turned in by injured Gustavo Kuerten. Querrey is 1-3 this year after defeating Bobby Reynolds of Marietta, Ga., in the first round at Indian Wells before losing in split sets to James Blake in the second round.

Which rankings will be used for the draw? It's made Monday afternoon so is it safe to assume that next week's rankings will be the ones used?

[Fee]

Yes, the rankings that are current as of the time the draw is made.

[Judio]

Yes, the rankings that are current as of the time the draw is made.

Like they were Current at Indian Wells

[Nathaliia]

I have heard they would use "rankings on hard surface" provided by a friend to the forum

[R. Jayakrishnan]

44 (WC) Roshardt, Robin SUI
45 (WC) Fugate, Marcus USA
46 (WC) Bester, Philip CAN

I am aware that Bester is a junior, but ti'm curious about the other two. How did they get into Miami? Was there a qualifying tourney or did they get exemption for winning or doing well at a junior tournament?

Roshardt won the Orange Bowl in December 2005. Fugate won the 2005 Luxilon Cup. (Bester was the runner-up). The male winners of both of those tournaments (both are held on the same site as Miami) usually receive qualifying wild cards into Miami.
