On the official tournament site of Amersfoort it was said that Gaston Gaudio signed-in, and now he is playing in Stuttgart. Why did he sign in in Stuttgart?

in dutch: http://www.dutchopentennis.nl/toernooi- ... uws_id=135

I must say I am a little disappointed with the line up in Amersfoort, because they said that they where busy signing big players... Not even 1 top-20 player is in now

In a week with 2 other bigger events (and many players willing to rest), you dont have to get busy, you have to get a briefcase full of one hundred euros bills

Plus they have two no. 1s
Moya, a former, former, former no. 1
And Coria, he's the no. 1 in the double fault ATP list :lol:

PS: Just a joke, i love Moya and Coria.

18-year-old American Sam Querrey also accepts wild card
RCA Championships, June 29, 2006

INDIANAPOLIS… The RCA Championships filled two of their four wild card openings with a proven champion and a rising American teenager.

Two-time Grand Slam Champion Marat Safin of Russia and 18-year-old American Sam Querrey accepted wild cards to play in the 2006 RCA Championships, which will be held July 15-23, at the Indianapolis Tennis Center on the campus of IUPUI.

Prior to missing the second half of 2005 due to knee surgery, Safin captured his second career Grand Slam title in 2005 by defeating Federer in the semifinals and Aussie favorite Hewitt in the finals. Despite the season ending knee surgery Safin finished the year at No. 13 on the INDESIT ATP Rankings. He was a finalist at Halle and a quarterfinalist at AMS Cincinnati. Safin, currently ranked No. 87 on INDESIT ATP Rankings, didn’t step back on the court until February at Dubai and is starting to regain his form.

“We are delighted that Marat requested a wild card to play in the tournament,” said Tournament Director Kevin Martin. “He is extremely entertaining to watch and his current ranking does not reflect his talent. He is one of the elite tennis players in the world. Marat has been called the “future of tennis” and his two Grand Slam titles prove that.”

He was a semifinalist at Valencia and reached the round of 16 at AMS Indian Wells. Safin, who held the No. 1 ranking for nine weeks in 2000, owns 15 career singles titles including the US and Australian Open Grand Slam titles and five AMS singles titles. This will be his first appearance in Indianapolis since 2001. He is 7-2 on the Indianapolis hardcourts and was the runner-up in 2000 (l. to. Kuerten) and a semifinalist in 2001 (l to. Rafter).

Before turning pro in May of 2006, the 6’6” Querrey from Thousand Oaks, CA had an outstanding junior career. He ranked as high as No. 10 in the world on the ITF junior rankings. His career highlights thus far include winning the USTA Spring International Championships and the Easter Bowl in back-to-back weeks. The aggressive teen reached the quarterfinals at the French Open Juniors and the round of 16 at the Wimbledon and US Open Juniors. He played in the 2006 AMS Indian Wells as an amateur and reached the second round where he took a set from James Blake, before falling 1-6, 6-1, 6-3.

About Querrey, Martin said, “I had the chance to see Sam play at the NASDAQ in March and could see the potential he has. We are always looking for young players that are on the verge of breaking out in their pro career. Sam appears to be there.”

The RCA Championships is a world-class tennis event held annually in Indianapolis. The event, which traces its roots back to 1920, has hosted such notable players as Pete Sampras, Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick.

Tickets for the 2006 RCA Championships can be purchased by calling 800-622-LOVE or by visiting any Ticketmaster location. For more information please go to www.rcatennis.com.

Rusedski out of Indianapolis due to hip injury suffered prior to Queens that requires 4-6 weeks rest.

by **Rosie** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 9:49 am

I understand from a German friend of mine that Juan Carlos Ferrero has pulled out of Stuttgart. She got this from the Tournament Office when she called them to check, as she had heard rumours in the local Press that he would not turn up. Sorry - don't know the reason that he gave.

by **Shhh** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 1:00 am

From IndyStar.com

Greg Rusedski, the 2002 RCA Championships winner, has withdrawn from next week's tournament at the Indianapolis Tennis Center because of a hip injury.

RCA Championships director Kevin Martin had been set to announce that Nicolas Kiefer had accepted a wild card, but the 15th-ranked Kiefer determined this weekend that the wrist he injured at the French Open had not healed enough to play. Two wild cards remain for the tournament, which begins a week from today.

Early Update:

Stuttgart Main -- OUT: Andreev, Ferrero .. IN: Vanek, Novak
Stuttgart Q -- No withdrawals
Indianapolis -- OUT: Moodie, Rusedski .. IN: Burgsmuller, Fleishman

German Olympic Medialist Returns to Indianapolis first time since 2002
RCA Tennis Championships, July 10, 2006

INDIANAPOLIS… The RCA Championships, which will be held July 15-23 at the Indianapolis Tennis Center on the campus of IUPUI, filled one of its final two wild cards with ATP Tour veteran Tommy Haas.

The 28-year-old Haas, who is currently ranked No. 21 on the INDESIT ATP Rankings, will make his sixth appearance in Indianapolis. His return will be his first since losing in the semifinals to the 2002 singles champions Greg Rusedski.

The German, who has been ranked as high as No.2 in his career, jumped off to a career-best 23-6 start in the first four months of action winning ATP titles in Delray Beach and Memphis. He is currently 30-12 on the year with four of those losses happening at the hands of No. 1 Federer in the semifinals at Doha, Halle, 4th round at Australian Open and the 3rd round at AMS Miami.

“We are excited that the Indianapolis fans will get to see Tommy for the first time since 2002,” said RCA Tournament Director Kevin Martin.

“When Haas turned pro he was looked at carrying the torch for Germany after Boris Becker’s retirement with the talent he has. Haas’ ability has been tempered by an unfortunate string of injuries throughout his career but when he is healthy as he has been this season, he is considered one of the top players in the game.”

Haas finished in the top 50 for the eighth time in nine years in 2005 highlighted by four ATP semifinals. In February he reached back-to-back semifinals in San Jose and Memphis. In May, Haas helped his native country to the ATP World Team Championship over Argentina by winning three of four singles and doubles matches.

Haas, who began playing the game of tennis at the age of four, is a product of the prestigious Nick Bollettieri Academy. In addition to capturing nine career singles titles, owning an 18-4 career Davis Cup record and being named the 2004 ATP Comeback Player of the Year, Haas won the singles silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

The RCA Championships still has one remaining wild card to award. “We are still pursing Andre Agassi, Tommy Robredo, Marcos Baghdatis or Donald Young to fill our last spot,” said Martin.

The RCA Championships is a world-class tennis event held annually in Indianapolis. The event, which traces its roots back to 1920, has hosted such notable players as Pete Sampras, Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick.

It seems Gremelmayr is playing Stuttgart
You can read it on the Mercedes Cup Website

http://www.mercedescup.de/index.php?id=77

Nadals Verletzung ist Denis Gremelmayrs Glück
Rafael Nadal kann beim 28. MercedesCup auf dem Stuttgarter Weissenhof seinen Titel nicht verteidigen. Am Freitag sagte sein Manager Carlos Costa per E-Mail bei Turnierdirektor Bernd Nusch ab. „Wegen eines Problems an der linken Hand“, die den 20-Jährigen schon während des Grand-Slam-Turniers in Wimbledon behinderte hatte, könne die Nummer 2 der Weltrangliste in diesem Jahr nicht in Stuttgart aufschlagen. „Das war für uns keine leichte Entscheidung“, so Costa, „und wir haben abgewartet, ob Rafa sich letztlich doch erholen würde, um Ihr Turnier zu spielen.“ Rafael Nadal werde Nusch Anfang nächster Woche persönlich anrufen, schloss Carlos Costa.

„Wir bedauern die Absage von Nadal natürlich“, lautete der Kommentar von Bernd Nusch, um dann aber sofort das Positive zu sehen: „Damit rutscht mit Denis Gremelmayr ein weiter Deutscher ins Hauptfeld.“ Der 24–Jährige Lampertheimer, der von Helmut Lüthi trainiert wird, ist momentan die Nummer 123 der ATP-Weltrangliste. In diesem Jahr stand er bereits im Viertelfinale von München und in der dritten Runde bei den Australian Open. Veranstalter Raimund Gründler hofft „auf einen Auftritt Nadals 2007, nachdem wir alle noch seine tollen Matches im letzten Jahr in Erinnerung haben“. Nun führt Vorjahresfinalist Gaston Gaudio (Argentinien) die Meldeliste an, der damit seinem großen Ziel – „Ich will endlich diesen Mercedes gewinnen!“ – einen Schritt näher gekommen ist

Kohlschreiber withdrew late on Tuesday

Melzer appears to have a W/O in first round

Zwei Österreicher profitieren von Ausfällen
Des einen Leid ist des anderen Freud’: Die beiden Österreicher Jürgen Melzer und Stefan Koubek sind die Nutznießer von zwei verletzungsbedingten Ausfällen beim 28. MercedesCup am Dienstag. Zunächst musste Philipp Kohlschreiber (Neuss) seine Erstrundenbegegnung gegen Melzer wegen Schmerzen in der rechten Leiste absagen, wodurch der 25–Jährige aus dem Nachbarland kampflos in Runde 2 steht. Hier trifft er auf den an Nummer 12 gesetzten Weißrussen Max Mirnyi.

Wegen Problemen in der linken Wade kann die Nummer 4 der MercedesCup-Setzliste, Olivier Rochus (Belgien), morgen in Runde 2 nicht gegen den Russen Teimuraz Gabashvili antreten, so dass hier Stefan Koubek, der höchstplazierte Verlierer der Qualifikationsfinals, als Lucky Loser nachrückt.

Basically means that Koubek was the lucky loser
but has taken Rochus' place in the second round as a Lucky loser

Sure, Stockholm 2002: Lleyton Hewitt got a first round bye when Thomas Enqvist withdrew. None of the Swedes on site signed in for the LL.....
