and further down the alt list we find Mardy Fish and Jan-Michael Gambill. Bet Mardy has already asked for a wildcard, and JMG will if he's healthy by then...

Good. Challengers are good, Mardy :) Surely a challenger in florida would give him a WC....:awww:

only 22 direct acceptance?

Well to be honest, I'm not really a Mardy fan. I would just like to see him get healthy, improve his ranking, and be competitive to make some matches more interesting. Would have also been better for a tournament in Florida to keep Justin and Mardy around for a few days.

Opera doesn't support pdfs???? How ridiculous. Glad I got rid of that after trying it once. Anyway, you can always right click on the links fee posted and save the files to your computer and open them in the stand-alone Adobe reader :) Anywho the qualie results are updated in the draw (sorry Scott, don't have the energy to type it up:()

I know I *can,* but I'm extremely lazy and I usually have 500 windows open, so it's kind of a pain. ;)

You didn't like Opera? I love it. It has some issues, but I mean, it's a free browser that's maintained by very very few people.... so it's going to be a little behind something like Internet Explorer, backed by thousands of programmers and billions of dollars. ;)

I'm just one of those people that refuses to use Microsoft products when I can help it, part of the Free Software movement.

Soon I'll be ditching XP for Ubuntu Linux, but I have a lot to learn until I'm ready for that.

I use Firefox ;) I found it far better than Opera, I like being able to download extensions and themes for it and it's very customizable and I haven't had a problem with it since I started using it... and it supports PDFs :p

Qualifying Round:

(1)Benedikt Dorsch (GER) vs Alex Clayton (USA)
(2)Ivo Heuberger (SUI) vs (5)Luke Bourgeois (AUS)
Marcus Fugate (USA) vs Alberto Francis (USA)
Brendan Evans (USA) vs Catalin Gard (ROM)

GL Kunitsyn :)
Carraz retired during last match on 20th March...

C'mon Brendan :D

Firefox is a good browser but I just can't get into it. I've been using Opera for soooo long that I'm rather attached to it.

okay, whatever floats your boat :p but you have options to avoid being PDF-less ;)

qualifiers:
Dorsch
Heuberger
Francis
Evans


The doubles draw and Monday's OP are both out. I thought Thomas was retiring???

Kunitsyn d. Carraz in 3 sets

Fleishman d. Bogdanovic in 2 sets

Dudi :sobbing:

Niemeyer d. Heuberger in 2 sets

Now playing - BURGSMULLER vs Sela 6-2

Bad Sela.

Niemeyer should be in Mexico practicing for Davis cup, anyone know why he is not on the team?

:secret: I wouldn't bet on the Gimelstob-Fish match... (that's all I'm saying).

:secret: I wouldn't bet on the Gimelstob-Fish match... (that's all I'm saying).
What's up? If you mean "I wouldn't bet on Mardy", i understand but the hole match?!

the whole match, ñertainly :)

Results already on ATP ;)

Bad Sela.

Niemeyer should be in Mexico practicing for Davis cup, anyone know why he is not on the team?

Niemeyer prefers to protect his ranking points than playing for Canada. :shrug: But my source is not 100% reliable.

I think Martin Laurendeau (Canada's captain) didn't want him on the team. He can't win a freakin' match on clay.

HI Guys !

Please score de Voest !

Uros Vico d. (q)Beneditk Dorsch 1-6 6-1 6-4
Brendan Evans d. (8)Rik De Voest (I don't know the score)

Evans defeated De Voest :mad: :sad:

I think Martin Laurendeau (Canada's captain) didn't want him on the team. He can't win a freakin' match on clay.

I doubt. Niemeyer even not very good on clay (which Canadian players are good anyway), still better than Steckley.

De Voest Score ??????????????

De Voest Score ??????????????
