Sunrise looks good for a challenger!

by **R. Jayakrishnan** » Tue Feb 21, 2006 9:03 pm

Hi Tonix. I added the Alternate lists for all four.

There was one mistake each in the list posted in the open thread. It is Kindlemann and not Kohlmann at Serajevo, and it is Martin and not Marin at Sunrise.. Corrected above.

Yes, Sunrise is a "super-challenger" between Indian Wells and Key Biscaine, players that loose in the first round in Indian Wells takes the chance to play Sunrise that is the second week of Indian Wells. Last year on the list the last player was ranked 83 and on the final cut it was 113!

Ho chi Minh:
replace "12 Joseph, Lesley FRA 195 " with "173 Niicolas Devilder FRA"

[Good catch -- Done. Jay]

by **seb** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 4:57 am

I thought the number of Top 50 players entering a challenger - even in the second week of a GS or AMS or during Davis Cup - was limited.
I also thought that Top 20 players are not allowed to play challengers unless they receive a WC.

Does someone know the good old rule?

Does Sunrise is not not a CH like the other ones ?

by **seb** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 5:04 am

Actually we had the same discution last year

I found the rule (from 2005) but I found in the meantime that Sunrise doen't have to comply with that rule:

Play-Up Regulation (Challenger Series Tournaments)

1. Players positioned 1-10 in the ATP Singles Entry Ranking are prohibited from
entering, accepting a wild card and/or competing in a Challenger Series
Tournament. Players who would have been, had they and all other players
entered, a Direct Acceptance on the original Acceptance List for a Grand Slam
are prohibited from entering, accepting a wild card and/or competing in a
Challenger Series Tournament in the first week of the Grand Slam
Tournament.

2. Players positioned 11-50 in the ATP Singles Entry Ranking twenty-one (21)
days prior to the first Monday of the Challenger Series Tournament are prohibited
from entering but may receive an ATP-approved wild card in order to
compete in the Challenger Tournament. The Challenger Supervisor will make
wild card determinations consistent with the limitations outlined below.
Players positioned 11-50 are also prohibited from entering, accepting a wild
card or competing in Challenger Series Tournaments that offer less than
$50,000 in on-site prize money.

3. Challenger Series Tournaments scheduled the same week as an ATP
Tournament may offer wild cards to players positioned 11-50 in the ATP
Singles Entry Ranking who have received approval from the ATP on-site
Supervisor according to the following breakdown:
$125,000 in prize money - up to (2) two wild cards
$ 100,000 in prize money - up to (1) one wild card
$75,000 in prize money - up to (1) one wild card
$50,000 in prize money - up to (1) one wild card
$37,500 in prize money - no wild card
$ 25,000 in prize money - no wild card

4. Challenger Series Tournaments not scheduled in the same week as ATP
Tournaments, or during the 2nd week of a Grand Slam, may offer wild cards
to players positioned 11-50 in the ATP Singles Entry Ranking who have
received approval from the ATP on-site Supervisor according to the following
breakdown:
$ 150,000 in prize money - up to (4) four wild cards
$ 125,000 in prize money - up to (4) four wild cards
$100,000 in prize money - up to (3) three wild cards
$75,000 in prize money - up to (2) two wild cards
$ 50,000 in prize money - up to (1) one wild card
$ 37,500 in prize money - no wild card
$ 25,000 in prize money - no wild card

OMG Does Hrbaty not play enough events as it is that he needs to enter a CHALLENGER?!!?!?!?!

Goodness gracious

by **tasmanian tiger** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 5:16 pm

he played a challenger late last year in his home country. it was the week b4 the masters cup i believe. he beat my boy bracciali in the finals to win the title.

by D » Sun Mar 05, 2006 7:20 pm

Playing a challenger b/c it's one of the only things he can play in his home country is one thing... playing one in between two huge masters tourneys in the US is just inexplicable!!!!

by **Canucks2006** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 9:24 pm

Sunrise is not a regular challenger. Just look at the entry list.

It's not far from Key Biscayne and it's the same surface. All of the player on the Entry List wants to use Sunrise to prepare for Key Biscayne.

They have nothing to lose anyway. If they're still in the Indian Wells Main Draw, the player get withdrawn from Sunrise without any penalty.

Florent Serra said he goes to Sunrise.
Maybe A wild card for him?

by **Patrik77** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 8:10 am

Probably three bought wildcards in the Sarajevo Challenger, players without any ranking and results.

by **goslabs** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 12:36 pm

Does anyone know if there have been any further withdrawals from the Salinas Challenger creating any lucky loser spots ? Are their any players likely to withdraw ?

Thanks

I'm hearing there are quite a few withdrawals from Sunrise in the last few hours. Not a shock, really, but still.

Yes, the same in Salinas.
I will try to make a list of these case and will mail the tournament directors saking to buy a WC for next year event. I will tell you how much it costs.

Yes there were a lot of withdrawals, basically making the initial entry list a joke. I was away the whole day and could not update things.

I have edited the list above, and you can see that only 7 from the initial entry list of 24 are in the final list. The ALT list dropped all the way to the 30th spot in the end!

If I bought one and M. Ryderstedt made a main draw, I could still beat him. And yes, i can't play tennis, you all know this

What a pity chicks can't buy WC's to men's events!

Sebastien (forgive me calling you w/ full name, I just like it so much

), isn't it the way you must show your player accreditation while applying for a WC?

Saretta OUT in Sunrise
Saretta sente pubalgia, não joga em Sunrise e é dúvida para Miami

Após a desistência do primeiro Masters Series do ano em Indian Wells alegando recuperação de dores nas costas, o paulista Flávio Saretta, número 86 do mundo, saiu da chave principal do Challenger de Sunrise, na Flórida. A assessoria do jogador informou que o tenista sentiu uma pubalgia. Ele tentará se recuperar a tempo para jogar em Miami.

Saretta estava com passagem marcada para a Flórida no sábado. Mas sentiu uma pubalgia, adiou a viagem para domingo. Mesmo assim, sentindo dores fortes e sem condições, o tenista não conseguiu embarcar. Ele permance em São Paulo onde tentará se recuperar para a disputa do segundo Masters Series do ano em Miami que começa no próximo dia 20: “Chegamos a conclusão de que não daria para entrar em quadra. Estou fazendo fisioterapia em dois períodos e torcendo para que me recupere até o Masters Series de Miami”, disse o tenista.

Esta é a segunda desistência seguida do tenista. Em Indian Wells, Saretta entrou como alternate, mas não jogou preferindo se recuperar de dores nas costas.

Além da ausência de Saretta, o torneio vai se esvaziando aos poucos. Apesar de ser um evento de nível médio com premiação muito inferior a um Masters Series, US$ 100 mil, mas inicialmente contasva com a presença de figuras renomadas no tênis como Dominik Hrbaty (SVK), Fabrice Santoro (FRA) e o jovem talentoso Andy Murray (GBR).
