Is it possible to know if Antony Dupuis is on the alternate list?

He is #73 in the ALT list. That basically means nothing. He may or may not go to play qualies there ...

[Maciej]

Two of 2 SE cleared?

[R. Jayakrishnan]

The second SE is not officially cleared. I guess Fred Niemeyer who won the semi today at Joplin may possibly take that SE and fly up to France??

Jay

[Morgan Z]

Aren't the SE spots given according to zones or something?

[R. Jayakrishnan]

I believe there is priority for players who were alive as of friday evening at another challenger in the same region, but I don't think there is anything preventing an SE.

Niemeyer is indeed in the main draw at Besancon as an SE. Pretty nice break, despite the loss in the final today at Joplin. He got a big SE to a $100K challenger for the nice run at a $50K challenger.

[Morgan Z]

Then why didn't the Burnie Challenger have SE spots?


I am really confused about SEs.

[JG]

Then why didn't the Burnie Challenger have SE spots?

Because there wasn't any Challenger the week before

[JAC]

Next week no challenger in Niemeyer zone.
He can use SE in all others zones.

Sorry for my english.

[Morgan Z]

JG, other Challengers during the same week of Burnie had SE spots.


JAC, that makes sense now. Thanks!

[JAC]

One week before Bournie was no challengers and 3 ATP (SE from ATP too Chall is possible). From Delray Beach too Dallas, from Vina del Mar too Florianopolis, from Zagreb too Wroclaw or Bergamo. In all this three causes is zonal restrictin. No tournament in Australia (challenger or higher levell). From Bournie SE was possible too Dallas (no chall. next week in Australia).

Sorry for may english I hope MorganZ you understand me.

[Morgan Z]

Thanks a lot for that explanation.

And don't worry about your English! It's perfectly understandable.

[JG]

Thanks JAC, I had a lot to learn to about it too.
