[Nathaliia]

Haha Djoko will win the first title in Sopot, he's young enough for it, of course if JMDP and Korolev don't decide to play quallies. I hope Hanescu gets into MD because whoever beats him, wins the tournament so it's easy to predict At least happened in all three starts of Hanescu over there (2003 - 1st round l. to Coria, 2004 - 1st round l. to Nadal, 2005 - QF l. to Monfils).

As a Polish person would say, 'have been better'

Zaba is using the protect in Bastad as well, earlier this year.

as well as Stuttgart and Kitzbuhel too! - great to see he got it at last! - and of course, I hope he makes good use of them!

[daryl]

Wow... the Argentinean army in Sopot . Im a little bit worried about "El negro" he's betting all his money on this tournaments, and he can't win a match in challenger level... i dont know, i hope is only confidence, but i fear he's reaching the very end of his career (But not without leaving his childs Monaco and Del Potro )

[Jelena]

He has played hardly a match in the last eight months, so it's usual he needs some time to get back his rhythm. And actually the only way to get the match-winning rhythm is to play matches. No practice can be as good as matches.

Hi Daryl, I saw him in Hamburg, dont worry, its nowhere near the end of his career, he's really hungry to get back into competition - - sick of being injured and was really happy! and with the help of these PRs he will get back. He wanted the PRs and was not 100% sure he was going to get them. He was very happy in Hamburg

I also saw him play qualies against Harel Levy in Roland Garros, he was on fire! - it was an awesome match - Harel was lucky.... - no need to worry about Mariano retiring....

USTA National Clay Court Tennis Championships (July 16-23, 2006):
http://www.ustaclay.com/general.asp#wildcards

WILD CARDS FOR LEGG-MASON

The Boys' 18 singles champion (Michael Venus) will receive a wild card into the main draw at the Legg-Mason Tennis Championships in Washington, DC. In addition the Boys' 18 singles finalist (Marcus Fugate) and the Boys' 16 singles champion (Brennan Boyajian) will receive wild cards into the Legg-Mason singles qualifying event.

The Boy's 18 and 16 doubles champions (18: Ryan Lipman/Rhyne Williams; 16: Brennan Boyajian/Zach Hunter) will be put on the “short list” for the singles qualifier of the Legg-Mason Tennis Championships.

[Kasia]

Wild cards for Sopot: Kubot, Przysiezny, Panfil.
I don't really get the last one... as Urban won the National Champs and when Dabrowski won them he got a wc despite his age and lack of other successes... Panfil is no star... he could have been but I think it's too late and he got the wc only because he's a mascot of our Tennis Association Maybe Urban is no star either but at least he won the National Chams... I think that's really unfair...

What happened with your Davis Cup team against Georgia? How can they loose such a match?

[Patrik77]

Haha Djoko will win the first title in Sopot

Natha: You´re wrong, he has already won his first title in Amersfoort

[Jelena]

Haha Djoko will win the first title in Sopot

Natha: You´re wrong, he has already won his first title in Amersfoort

But she wrote that before Nole won in Amersfoort....

thanx Judio can you do the same for the challengers

[smucav]

but i'm wondering, i still can't open the draws is it only me having that problem or is it a general error

I opened and printed the draws from the ATP urls on Friday & Saturday. You may need to refresh your browser or update Adobe Acrobat.

[jfrtennis]

These links on the ATP site work fine: http://www.atptennis.com/3/en/newsandscores/draws/

Also the link on the Sopot site but not in Adobe: http://www.ideaprokomopen.pl/en/rozgryw ... php?typ=MG

And the Washington draw in Adobe: http://www.leggmasontennisclassic.com/p ... rawsscores

what URL are you using mate cos i doubt Adobe is the problem, last weeks draws are loading correctly - up to date

still can't open this weeks draws (challenger & ATP)

[Judio]

Have Updated Adobe

Pdfs update correctly on wtatour

Not on atptennis

Sounds like ATP problem and not ours

what URL are you using mate cos i doubt Adobe is the problem, last weeks draws are loading correctly - up to date

still can't open this weeks draws (challenger & ATP)

From Wengeruk:

The ATP site is acting very oddly at the moment. All the links to PDF files seem to have become case-sensitive. For example the Sopot main draw which is supposed to be at http://www.atptennis.com/posting/2006/475/MDS.pdf just says "tournament info not yet available". mds.pdf is the same, however MDs, MdS, Mds, mDS and mDs all work!

I suspect that if you try changing the capitalisation of the rankings link you might find that it actually already there.

EDIT: Indeed, http://www.atptennis.com/en/media/ranki ... _alpha.pdf gives rankings for 24th July but http://www.atptennis.com/en/media/ranki ... _alpha.pdf is todays rankings.
