Haha that´s a good one, he´s probably the worst player in the top 100 on every surface except clay (together with Montanes on 104 right now). I think even Christo van Rensburg still easily would beat Hernandez on grass....
In 93 before the French Courier was asked who he´ll think will win the French: He answered "Christo van Rensburg", such good irony that too, he even couldn´t stop to laugh himself...(van Rensburg NEVER won a match on clay in his 15 year career) the same as if Federer would answer who he think will win Wimbledon with "Hernandez"Good irony Nuke!
INFO: Christo van Rensburg was active in the 80´s until 94 and did good results on grass but almost never played on clay, the few times he did he lost pretty big most of the time, went from the hard courts straight to grass and didn´t even bother playing on the clay, he had a pretty different carrer compared to players nowadays who play everywhere everyweek...

last time I looked Christophe Rochus was number 300 or so in the doubles ranking. seems like you can use your singles ranking to make it on the doubles entry list
kinda strange....

Yes, players can use their singles ranking to enter the doubles draw. The ATP allows this to encourage top ranked singles players to play doubles, which is supposed to bring more exposure to doubles matches.

Vince Spadea hasn't even been able to go on court to begin practicing since his stomach muscle injury at the French. He definitely won't play any warm-ups to Wimbledon and is probably less than 50-50 to be ready for the All England Club. ...
Still no word on whether Andre Agassi will play Wimbledon. My best guess is that he's having a difficult time deciding whether to take another cortisone shot for his back, which allows him to play relatively pain free for about two to three months. Prediction: He doesn't play Wimbledon, takes a shot prior to the U.S. hardcourt season, then plays one or two pre-U.S. Open tournaments, makes the Open his final event and retires.

Andre Agassi regrets will have to withdraw from the Gentlemen's Singles due to injury. Mr Agassi says in a fax that it is a regrettable decision and he will miss playing in the most prestigious tournament in the world.

according to Dutch television, Wessels will play Wimbledon after all. He asked a second opinion and he's been given the green light to play.
Anders dan de uitslag doet vermoeden,
had Schalken nog erg veel last van zijn
blessure."Als het zo blijft,ga ik niet
naar Wimbledon",zo stelde hij."Voor dat
toernooi moet ik 100 procent zijn."
