Vliegen has been OUT for two weeks. See my post above.

Massu is still IN Pörtschach, but since Dusseldorf is now confirming he will play there, he will probably be OUT from Pörtschach soon.

[zicofirol]

Gonzalez is playing? I thought he said he wouldnt play any tournaments before a GS...

Lleyton Hewitt is on list for Portschach - is he so desperate for tennis now that he's playing extra tournaments on clay? That could very well be the wrong decision for him, especially if he loses to some lower ranked player he thinks is no good ( as he always does anyway).[/code]

He played there last year as well

[Rob & Stephen]

I remember that, but there were many rumours flying around at the time that he found the tournament awful to play in and that it disrupted his preparations for RG the next week. I know it's up to him where he plays, BUT what's he doing back there then?
