Here are the main draw lists for the above, that Huhtamaki had posted.

http://www.stevegtennis.com/forum/viewt ... &start=106

I think BD needs a bit more time to sort the alphabtical main draw list into rank order, etc, and edit the post above.

We need to let him finish his exams ... Take your time, BD!

Thanks for the Alternates BelgiumDude ... and good luck with your exams

wow i was under the impression that when u say Alt it meant Quallies what is the ALT anyways?

[Fee]

The alt list is the players who entered and did not get in. When players withdraw, they are replaced by guys on the alt list up until the time the qualie draw is made. Usually, the guys on the alt list show up for qualies, but not always. And sometimes, regular ATP tournaments do advanced entry list for qualies. This must be one of those times.

Interesting to see Sam Querrey get a wc into qualies (I think he won that by winning the Easter Bowl in Palm Springs?). He's still young, all arms and legs and feet, but he could develop into a good player in a few years when he stops growing.

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Early Updates:

Kitzbuhel: N.Lapentti OUT from ALT spot #1 [correction, G.Lapentti, not N.]

You mean G.Lapentti from ALT spot #1 I suppose! Or is it N.Lapentti from #7?
-- Thanks .. corrected above .. It was Giovanni .. Jay

And sometimes, regular ATP tournaments do advanced entry list for qualies. This must be one of those times.

IS Gold level & above always have direct entry lists for qualifying. Kitzbuhel is IS Gold.

[nitsansh]

Interesting that the top Spaniards are going to Umag...

[D]

Doubles entry should've closed for LA, right? anyone know the entries, besides the Bryan Brothers?

thanks in advance:)

[Nathaliia]

Interesting that the top Spaniards are going to Umag...

oh it's anything weird about it beaches, sun, discos, girls... they always go there. Bastad / Umag / Sopot these small tourneys can always count on good players on entry list

[Guest]

According to our local Croatian newspaper Ljubicic is out from Umag due to back injury. It means Aldi is in.

It is 100% confirmed Ljubo is out, but same articel also says that designated WC Vicente is now first on ALT speculating that "now free" WC could be given to Marin Cilic(16 years old Roland Garros junior champ) or Roko Karanusic(DC captain Nikola Pilic's choice)

Anyway, if Vicente is No1 ALT it means somebody else pulled out(I cannot confirm name of the player) and it means that Djokovic is in.

Nadal out of Umag, replaced by LL

[nitsansh]

Weird scene at LA... Noam Okun who lost in the 1st round of qualifying got in as lucky loser... he should have been only 13th in order of consideration (behind 4 3rd round losers and 8 2nd round losers) but 10 players ahead of him failed to sign up the LL list!!
In yet another improbable scene, he played another LL, Dmitry Tursunov, in the 1st round.

Do you think the American Jewish Lobby is behind that ?
