Bad scheduling?Frooty_Bazooty 10-06-2006, 12:38 PM there are 10 top 20 race players playing in Vienna next week ( Ljub, Rod, Nalb, Bagh, Haas, Gonz, Step, Hew, Djo, Fer) and only 1 in Moscow - Davydenko wouldnt it make more sense to go play in Moscow if you are looking for points where there is a much easier draw? Frooty_Bazooty 10-06-2006, 12:40 PM Oh also, I know that the points for Moscow have gone down from 50 to 35 this year but still... hanabishi 10-06-2006, 01:00 PM Well, with the rest of the Top 20 in Vienna, Davydenko has a golden opportunity to earn a ticket to Shanghai by winning Moscow. Melvins 10-06-2006, 01:09 PM Oh also, I know that the points for Moscow have gone down from 50 to 35 this year but still...

Once they choose a tournament, that is it. They don't get the chance to swap. Play or withdraw...simple ;) Horatio Caine 10-06-2006, 01:13 PM http://stevegtennis.com/atpres.htm Probably a typo...steveg still has it listed as 250 pts.

Also, there must be a 3 hour time difference. Saumon 10-06-2006, 05:07 PM The problem with Moscow is the distance players have to travel to get to Madrid.

Moscow doesn't have exactly 1,000,000 USD for price money, it's 975,000 USD. But that should give the winner 50 points but on ATP site, only 35 points.

I don't want point differences between ISG and IS! I want the logic for Barcelona and Dubai be a ISG and Moscow or Queens be a IS! And Moscow is a 1.000.000$ event. At least, for points system.

Lee 10-07-2006, 03:33 AM Melvin, read carefully what you asked in your original post My question is why some tournaments have Gold status? What the differences with others International Series? Why a 1.000.000$ Dubai's winner receive 60 pts and 1.000.000$ Moscow's winner receive only 50 pts? So my post answer why some tournaments are ISG and some IS. I also answered why Dubai's winner receive 60 points and I question why Moscow's receive 35 points instead of 50 points. Moscow doesn't have exactly 1,000,000 USD for price money, it's 975,000 USD. But that should give the winner 50 points but on ATP site, only 35 points. See the attached snap shot from ATP rule book why Dubai has 60 points. WHY? What don't you understand? I don't want point differences between ISG and IS! I want the logic for Barcelona and Dubai be a ISG and Moscow or Queens be a IS! And Moscow is a 1.000.000$ event. At least, for points system. LINK (http://www.atptennis.com/3/en/tournaments/fullcalendar/) You never mentioned Queens or Barcelona. So I don't know why you're the one confused instead of me. And if you ever click the link I provided earlier http://www.atptennis.com/en/tournaments/profile/438.asp You will see Moscow total prize money is $975,000 not as $1,000,000 shown from the calendar. And I am the one that ask the question why Moscow is not ISG but IS!!!! LaTenista 10-07-2006, 03:47 AM There are 9 ISG tournaments to "mirror" the 9 Masters events. Points have always been based on prize money. So I believe Moscow is 50 points. Lee 10-07-2006, 04:25 AM There are 9 ISG tournaments to "mirror" the 9 Masters events.

It's list as 35 point (175 ranking points) in atptennis.com Johnny Groove 10-07-2006, 04:27 AM wait, wait, wait, Stockholm is 175? i thought it was 225! Rafa got gipped :armed: Corey Feldman 10-07-2006, 04:37 AM still he needs some good result in madrid or paris besides for finale in moscow he would get zero points (24 is his best 5th)Yep.. even if Davydenko makes the final in Moscow he still gets 0 points on the race :o 11 if he won. but he'll prefer playing his own hometown event and should be good for shanghai anyway this year. smucav 10-07-2006, 07:55 PM It's list as 35 point (175 ranking points) in atptennis.comThe event profile pages are not updated.

Vienna probably had to put out several 50-100 thousand$$ payments to get the field it did. Hendu 10-11-2006, 07:31 PM And in Round 1 there were defeats for Tursunov Youzhny Verdasco Volandri and Mathieu The only Top 50 player left with Davydenko is Benneteau:eek: :eek: Unbelievable. | |
