Soderling OUT; lucky loser IN

[buddyholly]

Does that mean Canas is in - or do I correctly remember a discussion of new rules where something like the top 4 lucky losers go in a draw? That would be more reasonable I suppose, otherwise Canas could just tank his remaining match.

This issue with the 4 guys is only in Grand Slams. So you are right; Canas can tank his match (same situation as Indian Wells)

is it really only at GS, unless my memory is bad I remember non highest seeds entering and MD as LL in atp events, but I might be wrong...

Cañas should tank his match and let alves into the MD,lol

Cañas should tank his match and let alves into the MD,lol

He just won his match against Thiago Alves. 60 61

Not really. Why would someone tank a match when there are points on offer?

So his buddy can get in the draw.

The ITF changed the lucky loser procedures at the beginning of 2006 for this very reason: there was a increasing number of players retiring or putting in little effort in the last round of qualifying when lucky loser spots opened up while qualifying was still underway. Now with a lottery for the first four lucky loser spots, there is very little of this behavior.

The ATP considered making the same rule change at the end of 2005, but the player council voted against it.
