WC to Hanescu and Pavel you'd assume.

as expected no Nando :sad: and kinda surprising, no Pico :crying2:
some nice names including Gilles, Flo Serra, Nico (don't kill me, girls :tape: ), Janko, Montanes and GGL and I'll finally get to see Hartfield :banana:

really nice alt list too :hearts: Fabio, Gaston, Zaba, MVA :yeah: I suppose these last 2 will get in automatically, but maybe Gaston and Fabio will qualify :D

actually it's kinda bittersweet :unsure:
no PHM (i think it's the first time in ages when he doesn't come here), no Christophe ( :sobbing: ) and no more Waske :eek:

When I read the entry list I was so excited about Chucho, Janko and Andreev that I didn't even notice that PHM isn't there :sobbing: :sobbing: :sobbing: F*** :bigcry: And I could have sworn Pico wouldn't come after he won 3 titles this year :lol: :sad: Well at least we have Zaba and Martin :hearts: But still...PHM :hysteric: :hysteric: :hysteric:

Ale, stop being greedy.

Pico said after he won Kitz, that was going to be his last event on clay. That is a good field anyway.

:rolls: Ok, ok :D I'm happy :banana:

:o I wasn't aware that Pico said that :o

:kiss:

Great field for the Romanian fans :yeah:

1 month and a bit :woohoo:
vamos :banana:

im sure zhenya wont come :sad:

why :awww: ?

That's HONOR , Gaston is fighting ! c'mon Legion.

why :awww: ?

because its always like that :awww:

uuuh the field this year is better than the one from last year imo...too bad there will be no Pico and no PHM. But hey it's still a good entry list. :D I can't wait to see Igor and Chucho and Janko and Simon and hopefully Evgueny!!! :bounce: :bounce:

I wonder if Darcis might ask for a WC as this is the only clay tournament left this year.

Deea did I see you mentioning Janko over there? :nerner:

Gilles and Flo and SuperFabio :banana: :banana: :banana:

Paulo :sad: Waske :mad:

Such a typical Clay MM :lol: :o

The King will teach those moonballers how to play aggressive serve&volley game on clay.

confirmed that Fognini will play in Bucharest;)

:banana:

Forza Fabiooo!!! :rocker2: (go for the title :secret: )

this will be an easy win for Roitman

No Moya, no PHM :((

almagro wins this easy

Lacko and Cervenak are playing Brasvos so they'll be in Bucharest also :woohoo: :banana: :woohoo:

Maybe Paul-Henri will apply for a wild-card now that he is finished at the US Open.

Forza POTITO :yeah:

Maybe Paul-Henri will apply for a wild-card now that he is finished at the US Open.

he'll be playing hard courts in Asia

Kohlschreiber just told on German TV he won't play Bucharest.

(Both SEs cleared)
OUT: Kohlschreiber (& Zabaleta from ALT)
IN: Vassallo Arguello, Bolelli, Guccione

Zaba :sad: :sad: :sad:

Monfis plays quali here :eek:

IN: Vassallo Arguello, Bolelli, Guccione, Navarro Pastor, Luczak, Devilder

It's safe to say that Monfils was denied a wildcard. You have to assume that Pavel and Hanescu will get one, with the third probably another Romanian like Crivoi.

If Crivoi doesn't get one, I'll be very disappointed. SF this week in Brasov, and last year he reached the 2R in Bucharest.

in the romainian news its write that santoro get a WC ,so its hanesco,santoro and maybe pavel (i hope its gaudio )

crivoi will play in seville

I could have checked the list of Challengers :tape:

I was just assuming he'd play here :shrug:

When does the main draw come out? :confused:
