yes I thought the same thing

... not about Acapulco, it may be a good tournament for him at another moment, but about Davis Cup :

he jeopardizes a lot his chances to be in the Davis Cup team in the Czech Republic one week later.

I can't understand what Monfils is doing there since he will play Hard before and after.

I'm sure that organizers are paying him good money

OUT: none (& Volandri from ALT)
IN: none
Next: Dabul, Daniel, Horna

Day and time for main draw???

MOnfils :eek:
amazing tournament, the better in latin american

Get Coria a WC or play he quali?

OUT: none (& Volandri, Vanek from ALT)
IN: none
NEXT: Dabul, Daniel, Horna, Mayer

Hope Montanes does well here. He really needs it.

Good luck to Bellucci and Daniel.

Doubles entry list?

Daniel has a back problem, could be in doubt.

Basically the same as last year... or just make a carbon copy of Buenos Aires.

They made so much noise about the new 500 status for the tournament, and we'll get exactly the same we get every year.

the problem is the tournament come in the same week with dubai open,and dubai open is the best atp tounament after masters and grandslams!!!

Nalbandian or Monfils for the title

At least it is an opportunity for struggling top-100 clay-courters to meke some $$$ -- it is no surprise that there have been no withdrawals from main draw the entry list, even crippled players would likely show up for the first round.

monfils here and not in dubai, hmm
good for the tournament, hopefully Nalby takes the title

It really is a surprise to see Monfils on the list, yep! And in dubai big names withdrawals, so nothing sure. And the 500 status did work in Rotterdam last week; it was fantastic!

SE spot cleared
OUT: Calleri (and Horna, Volandri, Odesnik, Vanek from ALT)
IN: Dabul, Daniel
NEXT: Mayer, Kim, Roitman

Ferrero could be out ???

If his pulled hamstring is genuine. :p

When does the draw come out?

When does the draw come out?
:wavey:
According to the official site the draw ceremony is on Sunday at 14:30 (21:30 CET). And last year it was the same, the doubles draw was out first and then it took ages until the singles one (I was wondering about the same issue, so made some researches).

qaly single delray beach??:confused::confused:

Maybe Robredo is OUT

Basically the same as last year... or just make a carbon copy of Buenos Aires.

They made so much noise about the new 500 status for the tournament, and we'll get exactly the same we get every year.

No non clay courter (well, except Gael) or non South American was more likely to play Acapulco just because they increased points and cash.

when the draw will be out,any one know?

still no draw yet? what a joke of a tourney is this:(

From what I remember from other years they use to do the draw on Sunday, it's the usual for this tournament. I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure of that.

It must be a bad thing for the players, those who play the first round on Monday have little time to do the tactics.

yeaah, leo mayer IN!!!!

ferrero out
