Very impressive list. Nice to see Dolgo here.

Alternates?

C'mon Bellucci! \O/

I don't expect many withdrawals, maybe down to Leo/Daniel/Gil who gets the last spots. Also we'll see what happens with the SE positions and if they are cleared due to players doing well in Santiago. Daniel and Souza probably will get WCs, with two youngsters.

Good luck Juan Ignacio Chela, Charly Berlocq and Eduardo Schwank :yeah:

WC probably to Lindell and Fernandes

This 4 Byes make the main draw of Brasil Open be more strong.

I hope that Bellucci get one Bye for the first round.

Wow the Bryans are going to play here. That's surprising.

Montanes could definitely win the title if he plays well.

If not, then I fully expect Almagro to win.

Will Ferrero play ? He pulled out of Santiago

Will Ferrero play ? He pulled out of Santiago

:sad:

Acasuso will probably get a WC. He said on his Twitter that he's playing here.

First WC to Clezar (MD)

:clap2: Second WC to Tiago Fernandes?

:clap2: Second WC to Tiago Fernandes?

Hope so!

I think that the 2 another wild cards will go to Marcos Daniel and João Souza. If this brazilian players get directly enter the wild cards can change. And the another better players in my opinion to get wild card are Tiago Fernandes and Rafael Camilo.

In my opinion, the WC will be do Souza and Camilo.

I don´t have the confirmation but probably Daniel is OUT of Brasil Open.

With this the wild cards can be to Souza and Fernandes.

Ferrero still not fit enough and won't defend his title

Ferrero still not fit enough and won't defend his title

For Brasil Open this is very bad. This tournament lost the Bryans on doubles and now Ferrero too.

With this Bellucci will be the third seed like on Santiago.

Do you know more about players that don´t will play and the players that will enter on main draw?

I think Fernandes should go for a qualifying wildcard, he hasn't faired very well this season yet. 1 Futures win, 0 Challenger wins, and first round knock-out in AO qualifications.

won't play belludal, won't hahaha

Marcos Daniel out ! http://tinyurl.com/6h2zgol

Ferrero still not fit enough and won't defend his title

Source ?

CONFIRMED! FERRERO OUT ! Pere Riba also OUT http://www.tenisnews.com.br/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=37873

Does he has any chancces to get to the qualifying draw??

Juanqui :sad:

Tiago won't play, he hurt his leg :sobbing:
