Krajicek in ruins after snubbing last year's finalists Wawrinka and Berdych because he wanted to throw his entire budget at Federer. After Federer withdrew he begged them to play, but they obviously said no. Now someone who is incapable of winning a 500 event leads the field.

Shame for Rotterdam, such a lovely tournament ending up with this field. Berdych should have come here, nice chance to win a title, but as usual he prefers to go to bigger tournaments just to be stopped by a top player.
I'd like Cilic or Simon to win but after their losses in Montpellier, I don't know. I think one of Bautista or Troicki reaches the final from the top half.
It's interesting that the most accomplished player in terms of titles is Robredo here (a Masters). :lol:
EDIT: Why did I freaking forget Cilic? But yeah, Robredo and Cilic -- both having won a 1000s+ tournament -- haven't actually won a 500's, interesting.
The former Top 10 #1 Cypriot should bag this field of challengers.
A title here would put him back in the top 25.

Roger: Just think Marcos, if it weren't for Plexicushion, Djokovic, and Tsonga we could have been back here in 10 years. Strong era, no?
Marcos: Yeah, it's killing me, man. hahaha
If Gasquet has any brain he will tank. He's likely going to win Montpellier, then plays Rotterdam, then Marseille - far too much for someone fresh off a back injury.
