Good luck Juan! :bounce:

I think it is not a good idea that he uses an ITF CH to preparing for AO.

It has a pretty strong list, he will face good players. And he can arrive 1 week earlier at Melbourne to get used to time zone and weather :yeah:

Entry List:

1. Daniel, Marcos BRA 87
2. Dabul, Brian ARG 103
3. Capdeville, Paul CHI 111
4. Alves, Thiago BRA 113
5. Mayer, Leonardo ARG 115
6. Roitman, Sergio ARG 118
7. Becker, Benjamin GER 129
8. Chela, Juan Ignacio ARG 141
9. Cuevas, Pablo URU 143
10. Berlocq, Carlos ARG 157
11. Pless, Kristian DEN 158
12. Brzezicki, Juan Pablo ARG 160
13. @ Russell, Michael USA 162
14. Giraldo, Santiago COL 163
15. Hocevar, Ricardo BRA 171
16. @# Zabaleta, Mariano ARG 175
17. Decoud, Sebastian ARG 178
18. Ferreiro, Franco BRA 182

I think it is a poor field because of the top 6 seeds.

Well, you won't find much better challengers during the season. Daniel, Capdeville, Alves, Mayer, Roitman, Becker, Cuevas, Russell, Giraldo, Hocevar are pretty dangerous and can give him a hard time. Of course you can't compare it to an International Series tournament, but it's not a poor field.

Yes,yes,I know.

1. Daniel, Marcos BRA 87
2. Dabul, Brian ARG 103
3. Capdeville, Paul CHI 111
4. Alves, Thiago BRA 113
5. Mayer, Leonardo ARG 115
6. Roitman, Sergio ARG 118
All of the top 6 seeds are good ITF players but not good ATP players.

Of course Sao Pablo has a great list just because:
7. Becker, Benjamin GER 129 2007 Bangkok Finalist,2006 US Open R16
8. Chela, Juan Ignacio ARG 141 former US Open QF
16. @# Zabaleta, Mariano ARG 175 former US Open QF
21. Mello, Ricardo BRA 198 former Delray Beach Champion
(WC) Flavio Saretta BRA former Wimbledon QF
I means only those above are good players on fast court in ATP tours,but all of them are not ranked top 6 seeds.

05/01/09 - Prime Aberto de Sao Pablo (www.abertosp.com.br/) (Sao Pablo, Brazil)
19/01/09 - Australian Open (www.ausopen.com) (Melbourne, Australia)

Good luck Juan! :bounce:

Out from SP :S:sad:

I want an indenization by not being able to see him anymore :devil:

He is out from the Australian Open too :sad:
But today he got a WC for Buenos Aires :bounce: :bounce:

What? Why did he withdraw from Melbourne? Is he injured? But good news he received a WC for Bs As, he definitely deserves it:)

What? Why did he withdraw from Melbourne? Is he injured? But good news he received a WC for Bs As, he definitely deserves it:)

I don't know if he's injured (I hope he's not) but maybe it wasn't a good idea to go to Australia just to play one tournament. :shrug:
More good news, he got a WC to play in Acapulco :banana:

i want to see him playing again!!
which one is his next tournament???

acapulco with WC..

he is not in viña, costa and baires :sad:
