Coria, Haas, Nadal, Schalken, Dementieva, Molik, Pierce en Krajicek naar Rosmalen [11 april 2005]
Het internationale grastennistoernooi, de Ordina Open, presenteert dit jaar een aantrekkelijk spelersveld dat bestaat uit gerenommeerde top 10 spelers gecombineerd met aanstormende talenten.
Bij de dames voeren de top 10 speelsters Elena Dementieva en Alicia Molik de deelnemerslijst aan. Tezamen met titelverdedigster Mary Pierce en de Russische Nadia Petrova zullen zij strijden om de titel. De talentvolle Argentijnse Gisella Dulko en onze landgenote Michaëlla Krajicek completeren de voorlopige startlijst.

Bij de mannen wordt de lijst Het internationale grastennistoernooi, de Ordina Open, presenteert dit jaar een aantrekkelijk spelersveld dat bestaat uit gerenommeerde top 10 spelers gecombineerd met aanstormende talenten aangevoerd door de finalist van afgelopen jaar Giullermo Coria. De Argentijnse top 10 speler verkeert in goed gezelschap van het in topvorm verkerende talent Rafael Nadal en de talentvolle Kroaat Mario Ancic. De Duitser Tommy Haas, bezig aan een indrukwekkende comeback, zal ook van de partij zijn evenals de sympathieke Tommy Robredo. De Nederlandse inbreng komt van Ordina- ambassadeur Sjeng Schalken en Raemon Sluiter.Tijdens de komende editie zal er gespeeld worden op vier gerenoveerde grasbanen die voorzien zijn van een klei-ondergrond. Na de aanleg van een testbaan in 2004 is besloten om zowel Centre Court als baan 1 en 2 te voorzien van dezelfde ondergrond als de banen in Wimbledon waardoor de spelers zich in Rosmalen nog beter kunnen voorbereiden op de belangrijkste Grand Slam van het jaar.

Op zondag 12 juni wordt naast de kwalificatiewedstrijden ook een charity-evenement georganiseerd. In een mini-toernooi vormen tennisspelers koppels met bekende Nederlanders en spelen tegen elkaar. Uiteraard zijn de Nederlandse spelers van de partij en een paar buitenlandse toppers. Na dit mini-toernooi sluiten we de middag af met een Wimbledon Revanche. Twee toppers (waarvan Richard Krajicek er één is) die ooit in een Wimbledon finale hebben gestaan ontmoeten elkaar op de grasbanen van Rosmalen om hun eer te verdedigen. De opbrengst komt ten goede van Right to Play, de organisatie opgericht door voormalig schaatskampioen Johann Olav Koss.Kaarten voor de Ordina Open zijn te verkrijgen via de verkoopkanalen van Ticketservice: grote postkantoren, GWK stationskantoren, diverse VVV kantoren, de reserveringslijn 0900 – 3001250 en via www.ordina-open.nl. Voor meer informatie kunt u contact opnemen met Toernooidirecteur Marcel Hunze via telefoonnummer 043 – 3672424.

[11 april 2005] Coria, Haas, Nadal, Schalken, Dementieva, Molik, Pierce and Krajicek come to Rosmalen. The international grass tournament, the Ordina open, presents an attractive list of players, comprising of renowned top 10 players combined with rising talents, this year.

Top 10 players Elena Dementieva and Alicia Molik head the commitment list for the women. Together with defending champion Mary Pierce and Russian Nadia Petrova, they will battle for the title. The talented Argentine Gisela Dulko and our compatriot Michaëlla Krajicek complete the current starting list.

[Now the article makes no sense, cause they mixed a few sentences, but I will type what they mean]

For the men, the list is headed by last year's finalist Guillermo Coría. The Argentine Top 10 player has good company in red-hot talent Rafael Nadal and the talented Croat Mario Ancic. German Tommy Haas, who is having an incredible comeback, will also be present as well as sympathetic Tommy Robredo [:woohoo:]. The Dutch presence comes from Ordina-ambassador Sjeng Schalken and Raemon Sluiter. During the next edition play will be on four renovated grass courts that have a clay surface beneath. After the construction of a test court in 2004, it has been decided to give both Centre Court as well as Court 1 and 2 the exact same surface as the courts of Wimbledon, which enables the players even better to prepare themselves for the most important Grand Slam of the year.

On Sunday, June 12th, there will be a charity event, next to the qualifying matches (only ATP). In a mini tournament tennis players form couples with Dutch celebrities and will play against each other. The Dutch players will of course be present as well as a few foreign top players. After this mini tournament the afternoon will be concluded with a Wimbledon Revanche. Two top players, one of which is Richard Krajicek, who were once in a Wimbledon final, will meet each other on the grass courts of Rosmalen to defend their honour. The revenues will go to Right to Play, the organisation founded by former speed skating champion Johann Olav Koss.

Thanks seb! This means there will be only one player using a protected ranking on the entry list! 103 + 1 PR + 8 WC's + 16 Q'q = 128 players !

by **seb** » Tue Apr 12, 2005 9:16 am

Here it is:

PARIS (Reuters)
HUIT BLEUS SÛRS À ROLAND-GARROS
Le classement ATP publié lundi est d'importance: il détermine les entrants directs pour le prochain tournoi de Roland-Garros. Le "cut" est actuellement fixé à 103, ce qui signifie que Sébastien Grosjean, Fabrice Santoro, Cyril Saulnier, Michaël Llodra, Paul-Henri Mathieu, Jérôme Haehnel, Jean-René Lisnard et Richard Gasquet sont les huit tricolores officiellement admis.

Probably some 4-5 players will withdraw as usually.

by **seb** » Tue Apr 12, 2005 9:20 am

Protected player might be Younes El AYNAOUI.

Wild Cards will for be sure (if not moved into MD):
J.Benneteau
A.Clement
G.Monfils
G.Simon
Australian Player (Reid ? Luczak ?)

and potentially
O.Mutis
T.Ascione
J.Tsonga
O.Patience
etc.

why Australian player?

last year they gave a WC for Todd Reid

I think Alex Corretja will receive a WC

by **renaudb** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 3:13 am

every year, AO gives a wild card to a french player as RG gives one to an australian...
so maybe luczak, reid, or philippoussis?

I think it is the Australian federation who decide this, so it will be Philippoussis if he wants to play, otherwise I think it will be Luczak, not Reid who is not very good on clay.

Ok, on the wta entry lists you get the qualifying entries listed as well. But it doesnt seem this happens for the atp? usually how long is it before the event a qualy list will be announced/released?
:HeadBang:

by **Guest** » Mon May 09, 2005 1:01 pm

But Melle van Gemerden is also on the qualie list!!

Depends on the event. Regular ATP events don't usually do qualie lists, they just do alternate lists and just about anyone who shows up and signs in by 9 pm local time on Friday night can play in qualies. Most of the time the draws show up late Friday at the links that are usually posted here.

For the Slams, qualie lists are done 21 days in advance. There are a few ATP events that do advance qualie lists (I think Japan was one?) and those are usually 2-3 weeks in advance.

Should have been out this week coocoo?

by **Guest** » Thu May 19, 2005 11:41 am

How many times does this have to be answered around here. The entry deadlines are 6 weeks for ATP Tournaments, and 3 weeks for Challengers. Get a calendar out and count backwards.

by **Tennis724** » Thu May 19, 2005 11:49 am

You know some people don't see when that question is answered and they don't have the time to search each and every thread for that answer. I am one of those people.

You could have answered that question without such a rude opening.

I thought that we were allowed to ask questions freely here...whether they have been asked and answered already. If this was someone with a familar username then I would apologize for the irritation but you're just a guest and not the one who posts the lists so I couldn't care less.

Too bad Gaudio decided to piss on the tournament now he is a star. The guarantees are higher in Gstaad than Båstad. Actually the field they announced for Båstad last year was quite good as well.

Big surprise Ferrero is playing there.

Totally agree with you about the Gaudio thing, nice to see Nadal and Moya coming back every year though, and though guarantees are higher in Gstaad I think Båstad the last couple of years have had better players and more profiles than Gstaad!

Yes, I am one of Gaudio's biggest fans, but yes I am very disappointed that he didn't come back this year. The 2004 field was a very good one and I think Calleri would be there except for Davis Cup and his back problems. I agree that it's great to see Nadal, Moya coming back and I think Gonzalez and Massu would be there as well.

It's funny the times I have not been there, the field has got better. I remember the days of Horst Skoff and Gusten.

Båstad was much better than Gstaad and it would have to be cause of the guarantee that Gaudio isn't playing. I hope Zabaleta is fit as I could imagine he'd be there as well.

Heia Pepes Bodega.
