Thank you!

Thanks BD. Youre a true tennis friend.

Can you allso reveal the cut for the qualifying turnament ?

by **BelgiumDude** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 4:49 am

Karex wrote:Can you allso reveal the cut for the qualifying turnament ?

I'm afraid I can't do that yet. The entry list of the qualifying tournament comes out 3 weeks before the AO starts.
When I get it, I will post it in the ATP week 2-topic, because the qualifying will be played in that week.

Greetings
BD

Mark Philippoussis will receive a Wild Card, as the organizers have stated.

Tennis Australia hasn't given him a wild card yet as he may get in directly if others may drop out.

WHATS UP WITH ADRIAN GARCIA (chi) IN THE AUSTRALIAN??

by **BelgiumDude** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 2:45 pm

ToniX wrote:WHATS UP WITH ADRIAN GARCIA (chi) IN THE AUSTRALIAN??

Adrian Garcia hasn't entered qualifying and is No. 18 on the alternate list for the main draw. So I don't think we will see Adrian Garcia in the AO.

Marc Kimmich (n°308, 21 y.o.), an australian, has won one of the WC for the Australian Open. He won a tournament which was set up by the Aus Federation rewarding the winner with a main draw WC to the AO.
He has also been given a WC for Adelaïde main draw.

by **rhubarb** » Wed Dec 22, 2004 10:37 am

I guess we can take Stefan Koubek off the list

by **Alex71** » Thu Dec 23, 2004 5:28 am

I think that Verkerk e Tursunov doesn't play.

by **Fee** » Sun Dec 26, 2004 1:26 am

Tursunov is out until February or March with a back injury. Verkerk may need more time to recover from his shoulder surgery, as may Alexander Popp. Guess we'll know soon enough.

Verkerk will be out for sure, he hopes to be back in April ...

YESSS

SCOTT DRAPER IS MAIN DRAW DIRECT ENTRY
SO HE DOESNT NEED TO USE A WILDCARD
WHICH MEANS MORE AUSSIES

HOPEFULLY A FEW MORE WITHDRAW SO THAT SCUD CAN GET IN DIRECT AND NOT HAVE TO USE UP A WILDCARD!

by **Alex71** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 4:30 am

j. Novak, Arazi and Escude are out of the draw.

by **Estevao Rohr** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 6:55 am

Guga is out too.

by **westaussie** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:10 am

dont mean to be nasty but keep the withdrawals coming

at this rate philippoussis will make the main draw direct with no trouble at all

hope he does so that wildcard can be given to another aussie player!

by **Fee** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 12:49 pm

BD, can you give us official updates? I think Jay may be a little occupied these days....

I'm sorry Fiona. I don't have that information.
We'll have to wait for Jay.

by **Fee** » Tue Dec 28, 2004 1:38 pm

Thanks BD. I thought that might be the case, I couldn't remember the exact system that you and Jay had worked out. I hope that his loved ones are all okay. I cannot even imagine what he might be going through right now.

by **Tennis724** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 1:18 am

Did Jay have family & friends in the Tsunami area?? My thoughts are with him if he did.

I still have one person I know unaccounted for on whether or not she had family or friends on holiday over there. Starting to hit panic stage at this point. Wrote her on Sunday and texted today and nothing.

OK bad thunder and intense lightning. Need to go.

by **westaussie** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 8:58 am

this is great if all those players above really have withdrawn for sure

that means philippoussis gets direct entry and another aussie can use that wildcard he was promised from ta

:cool:

by **Tennis724** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 1:10 pm

Why is Max Mirnyi a possible out??

I'm guessing that Robert Kendrick is because of his ongoing wrist problems

by **Fee** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 11:46 am

Can we have lovely color coded changes for this one too? I know it's a bit early, but it seems like there have been so many changes already. Thanks!

The reason why I haven't done the color-thing yet for this topic, is because I usually wait for Jay and his official withdrawals. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't believe Alex71 his withdrawals!

by **Tennis724** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 1:05 am

I'm having a hard time keeping track. I know that Alex is 125 but how far out is he still from the MD. Will he, at least, get a high seed in quallies the way things are going with withdrawals?

Now it's official:

MAIN DRAW
IN= Mutis.
OUT= Kuerten.

Any news on any brits receiving WC's. I know Todd Reid got one for Wimby so maybe a return favour would be nice.

Just read today that Scud might be out of Australien Open due to a Groin injury....This is just for info.

Tommy Haas also injued a groin (against Coria in Hopman Cip) could be out of Aus Open too. That would be a real shame, he is getting back to his best
