Longer alternate list doesn't exist ?

Does anyone know why Tsonga pulled out?

Said he wasn't prepared, prefered to practice more.

Anybody know if David Ferrer has been given a wildcard for this event, apparently he has asked for one............

Said he wasn't prepared, prefered to practice more.

Thanks :). That`s great to see that he is not injured.

Said he's going to Doha to prepare for Aussie Open so must have been given WC.

Thanks :). That`s great to see that he is not injured.

Marca says Tsonga is injured...

Del Bonis in the quallies here and AO too! I think he is going too fast... I hope to be wrong but he should go slower spending his time on challenger tournaments on 2010.

what about 3rd WC ?!

Hi Smucav, If I'm not mistaken the surface has been changed from Rebound Ace to Plexicushion since last year.

Nice draw for Kubot :)

Does anyone know why Tsonga pulled out?

I believe it was his wrist.
