Alberto Martin is in Main draw and alternate list

[smucav]

:o Alberto Martin is in Main draw and alternate list

It looks like that alternate list is using the 6/20/05 rankings rather than the 7/4/05 rankings; it's exactly the same as the alternate list for Montreal.

If Martin is the last player in the main draw, then the alternate list (using the 7/4/05 rankings) should be:

1. Santoro, Fabrice (FRA )
2. Mello, Ricardo (BRA )
3. Horna, Luis (PER )
4. Hanescu, Victor (ROM )
5. Carlsen, Kenneth (DEN )
6. Mathieu, Paul-Henri (FRA )
7. Zib, Tomas (CZE )
8. Sanguinetti, Davide (ITA )
9. Verdasco, Fernando (ESP )
10. Hernych, Jan (CZE )
11. Lee, Hyung-Taik (KOR )
12. Malisse, Xavier (BEL )
13. Zabaleta, Mariano (ARG )
14. Fish, Mardy (USA )
15. Kohlschreiber, Philipp (GER )

[smucav]

From 8/8/05 tournament e-mail:

The W&SFG Masters has also announced the recipients of its four wild cards. Americans ROBBY GINEPRI, JAMES BLAKE, MARDY FISH and France's GAEL MONFILS have all accepted wild cards into the main draw at this year's W&SFG MASTERS, which will be held August 12-21. Ginepri and Monfils have each won a tournament this year - for Monfils, it was his first.

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Early update 2:

Cincinnati Main: J.Johansson OUT; Santoro IN
Cincinnati Q: Ginepri, Monfils, Santoro (and Blake, Ulihrach from ALT) OUT; N.Lapentti, Bjorkman, Moodie IN.

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Early update 3:

Cincinnati Main: Canas, J.Johansson OUT; Santoro, R.Mello IN
Cincinnati Q: Ginepri, Goldstein, Monfils, Santoro (and Blake, Ulihrach from ALT) OUT; N.Lapentti, Bjorkman, Moodie, Tursunov IN.

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Update:

No change from above!

Jay

[R. Jayakrishnan]

Update:

Cincinnati Main: (1 SE spot to be cleared)
OUT: Canas, J.Johansson
IN: Santoro, R.Mello
NEXT: Horna, Hanescu, Carlsen, Mathieu, Zib, Sanguinetti, Verdasco, Hernych

Cincinnati Q:
OUT: Ginepri, Goldstein, Monfils, Sabau, Santoro (and Blake, Ulihrach from ALT)
IN: N.Lapentti, Bjorkman, Moodie, Tursunov, Clement
NEXT: G.Lapentti, Simon, Lu, Benneteau, Morrison, Udomchoke, Gambill, A.Murray

Not much of withdrawals at all at Cincinnati. Everybody wants to play I suppose.

Jay

[Alex71]

from U.S. Open topic:
"Blake, however, probably will get a direct acceptance because you'd expect at least three players to be injured badly enough not to play, and that might include Mardy Fish (No. 68 ), who quit his match in Indianapolis Thursday with residual pain from his recent wrist surgery. "
I think a wild card will give to another player, why Goldstein is out from the qualies?

[smucav]

Fish OUT, replacement TBA:

Murray took Mardy Fish's WC spot

[rhubarb]

Can anyone confirm whether Mathieu will get the SE now that he made the semis in Montreal?

[smucav]

Can anyone confirm whether Mathieu will get the SE now that he made the semis in Montreal?

He earned it. Unless he were to turn it down for some reason, it's his.
