week |18| ATP : Rome (+Q)

[rhubarb]

Rome Main Draw
OUT: Dent, Hewitt, Malisse (and Zabaleta from ALT)
IN: Mayer, R.Mello, Fish

I believe Mardy Fish is playing in the US next week (Tunica challenger).

[pipoun]

Mathieu could have problem to play qualies in Rome as he has to play late his quarter against Moya in Estoril.

If he lose, he may ask Rome to schedule him late, but if he win, I will have to withdraw.

Wait and see.

[Guest]

Fish will be playing in Rome according to his official website.

[renaudb]

Galvani is in tunis semifinal...
he will be out from qualifying draw....
will his wild card be given to an other player?

[Loopy]

yes it will be given to Luzzi, but he is still playing at the Rome Chellenger

[D]

Fish will be playing in Rome according to his official website.

that doesn't mean anything - his site said he was playing Monte Carlo til the draw came out and he wasn't in it. The article about him playing the Tunica challenger is unclear so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[tennisfan82]

yes it will be given to Luzzi, but he is still playing at the Rome Chellenger

But if Luzzi will go in final,he will can play challenger final in morning and first round qualifying in afternoon

[Guest]

when Rome qualifying draw will be held ?

[Patrik77]

when Rome qualifying draw will be held ?

The draw is tonight and play starts tomorrow

[Guest]

Luzzi has lost against Serra in the semifinals of the Rome Challenger (3-6, 6-3, 6-2)

[Fee]

I believe that Mardy will play Rome, since he got into the main draw. The article seemed to imply that the wildcard was his if he wanted it.

[nitsansh]

Costa was next on MD alternate list... did he get in or withdrew from qualifying?

[Guest]

Wessels should be in green

[nitsansh]

Apparently, Schuettler is out so Costa gets in

[nitsansh]

Wessels should be in green

My mistake... I mixed the Dutchmen... Wessels is in, Sluiter out...

[rhubarb]

I'm reading on http://www.italiantennis.it/ that Federer pulled out tonight.(Bummer - I have tickets.)

Can anyone confirm?

[Guest]

Luzzi has lost against Serra in the semifinals of the Rome Challenger (3-6, 6-3, 6-2)

The final of the Roma Challenger will bring together Florent Serra and Olivier Patience ; the last-mentioned will be playing his Challenger final around 1pm and then the Masters Qualifying (last match on Court 3 vs Jan Hernych).

[J-G]

9. Monfils, Gael FRA 106
10. Clement, Arnaud FRA 107

OK, I understand for Monfils who is still playing in Tunis (Challenger semifinals). But could someone tell me why Clément withdrew ? He lost his quarterfinal match yesterday and Tunis isn't so far away from Rome...

[Guest]

federer doesn't play rome. who replaced him ?

[Guest]

Federer OUT. Who replace the number one ?

Martin, firt on the list alternate ? or a lucky loser after the qualification ?

[Guest]

Probably Hyung-Taik Lee replaces Federer, he isn't playing the qualifying

[Eric49]

Sjeng Schalken isn't playing in the qualie draw apparantly. In the live scores Sabau is playing Almagro or is it a mistake?

[Guest]

is correct, sabau replaces schalken.

[Guest]

I think schuetller out for Rome. but, he is in the table ?
He will in or out ?

[nitsansh]

Schuettler is in the draw. If he (or anyone else) pulls out between now and his scheduled match he will be replaced by LL.

[renaudb]

does anyone know if moya can play?
Is he injured for a long time??

[smucav]

I read that the reason he won't miss RG is because it's technically an ITF, and not an ATP, event. And the suspension is from the ATP.

No, that has nothing to do with it. The ITF honors ATP suspensions. For example, when Koubek was suspended for three months earlier this year, he was not able to play the Australian Open or the Davis Cup 1R tie (both ITF events) either.

Malisse is suspended for weeks 17-20 (including the Davis Cup Zonal tie, an ITF event, in week 17). Roland Garros is weeks 21-22 (after his suspension is over).

does anyone know if moya can play?
Is he injured for a long time??

He went to Rome to see the ATP physician on-site, but his status is currently unknown. As defending champion, his request for a Tuesday start was granted.

thanks for info!!

[pozaking]

Here´s the information in SPANISH of the injury of Moya

Moya´s injury

[Alex71]

NEWS FROM ROME
Moya yesterday doesn't trained, tomorrw has only made muscular heating, he will try to play without many hopes to finish; while A. Martin is entered in draw in place of Fish.

[pozaking]

Well Moya lost against Starace 4-6 6-7(7)

[EMiLY]

does anyone know if Robredo had any injury in his match against Benneteau or did he just get whipped for no reason? have there been any press releases regarding him??

[Guest]

There doesn't seem to be anything in the Spanish press to explain Robredo's loss, but he was a finalist in singles and doubles in Estoril, so may have been heavily fatigued.

[Steve G]

Nothing at all is coming from the ITF this week. Must be vacation time.

I need a list of Rome zero-pointers. (Players who will receive a 0 for not playing). From the list above, can someone compile one?

Federer
Hewitt
Spadea
Dent
Malisse
Zabaleta*
Fish

The only one I'm unsure about is Zabaleta. From the forum updates, it appears he withdrew while he was still an alternate (before he was in the main draw pool).

[Steve G]

You are correct, smu. I posted a confirmed list now. Zabaleta was not given a 0.
