Are you allowed to play qualies at Auckland/Sydney and then Australian Open qualies?
Yes, but if a player is still alive in Auckland/Sydney on Wednesday, then he would probably withdraw from the AO qualifying entry list before the withdrawal deadline (Wednesday night) since it would be nearly impossible to play the Auckland/Sydney main draw & the AO qualifying draw at the same time (killer commute!). Most players who take the AO qualifying seriously will not enter an ATP tournament or challenger during week 2 to avoid these situations.And are you allowed to play Auckland/Sydney qualies, then main draw and then AO qualies? Thanks.

Yes, and besides, if you look at the people playing in those 2 events ... all of them will be directly into the AOpen maindraw, so no need to play qualies. It might only be the case for Wildcards, as I don't see any qualifier either who will not be directly accepted.smucav wrote:Yes: there's no overlap between those two events.Morgan Z wrote:I have two questions...

In June 2006, Wayne Arthurs played a qualifying match at Queen's Club and a main draw match (SF) at the Surbiton challenger on the same day. In May 2005, Olivier Patience played a main draw match (F) at the Rome challenger and a qualifying match at AMS Rome on the same day.rodrigoazurmendi wrote:do u guys remember any examples of someone playing a tournament and a qualy at the same time? has that ever happened?
