Hello BD

Thanks for the entry lists as usual.

Could you please check if the Thai twin brother ( Sonchat Ratiwatana and Sanchai Ratiwatana ) are in the alternate list. They said that they will be playing here.

Thank you.

No Ratiwanana's in Rome or Tunis alternate lists.
This doesn't mean they won't be able to play qualies.

Nice, where did you find those?

[PatatRiek]

Nice, where did you find those?

only Jay & BD have access to the complete lists, they only post the 15 first Alternates here though

posting the complete alternates list might be a lot of work, but it might be better then to answer every seperate request

besides, i'm always wondering about the alternates positions from the Belgian players

Well, it's not that it is that much work to post all the alternates. It's just lots of copy/paste/edit and enter to get them in the right order. But it is just a bit stupid to do all that, because when you are outside of the top-15 (perhaps top-20) of the alternatelist, the chance you would make the maindraw thanks to withdrawals is so small!
I totally understand that most of you are really curious to see if there are any compatriots in the alternate list. But in fact that doesn't mean much. Let's call it "a signal of intent" to go and play the tournament. But you can be on the alternate list and not play qualies, while it is also possible that you were not on the alt-list but you do play qualies.
But I don't mind to answer your questions and give you the alternates you want. As long as it not 5 times for each entry list

PS : @ PatatRiek, I read your PM about the alternates,but I completely forgot to reply I'll respond later today so you can update your great site!

Bracciali & Galimberti were nominated to Italy Davis Cup team.

Tunis Quallie Draw is out. A lot of first round BYEs.

[Tennis724]

Tunis MD is out.

Looks like Fabrice was moved from WC to being the #1 seed without a WC. How did that happen?

[PatatRiek]

he got in with a WC, no doubt about that ....

the ATP probably forgot to mention it on the drawsheet
