Will those 28 draws hold? I don't like them

Simon should have been here : it's the region where he has grown.

I guess the fact that he's not in the entry-list is a clue about tomorrow's announcement (he gives a presser tomorrow morning and he might announce a long stop from the Tour :sad: )

Sod :):):)
MArio will get WCs???????????

Ivan :(
WTF are you doin' ?

I feel there will be huge changes between this list and those finally showing up.

Cutlist 56 :o
Glad that Bellucci is seed, I expect he plays this tournament, it'll be interesting

good draw...but Leo out :sad:


Gl to Thomaz - Albert - Leo :yeah:

Simon is like Garibaldi ! :eek:
Born in Nice !!!

And Garibaldi is the italian who put together Italy Nation ! :angel:

But Italy lost Nice ... and so no " Giulio Simone " top 10 italian player :mad::p

Simon is really just born in Nice, he was still a baby when his family left Nice, he grew up near Paris.

Diario As says Nadal's playing here :S (http://www.as.com/tenis/articulo/rafal-nadal-tenia-ganas-ganar/dasten/20100418dasdasten_3/Tes). They're wrong, aren't they?

I hope he will play in Niza

Rafa won't play there.It's just a week before RG.

Hope Verdasco will withdraw, he has plenty of match play and he really doesn't need the points.

The eventual cutoff will probably be around 100 :lol:

Davydenko will probably pull out

WC for Gasquet confirmed in the paper version of French Tennis Magazine.

Maybe JC comes here :)

Söderling here? :rolleyes:

Söderling here? :rolleyes:
yes, but not sure, he need much time to prepare for RG, i think if he plays well in Madrid, he will skip Nice

Great ljubo out.
Will he be fit to play RG ?

yes, but not sure, he need much time to prepare for RG, i think if he plays well in Madrid, he will skip Nice


Well, since he lost early in Madrid, I'm okay with him playing Nice now ;)

Przysiężny in qualys here.

When is the entry list confirmed? Is tomorrow the the day the draw comes out?

Where is Rogie ?

Davydenko is out of Nice and out of RG
Verdasco is in doubt (ankle)

Melzer, Benneteau and Korolev out, Dolgo, Niemienen and Starace in.

(Not sure why Starace is in, he's not in smucav's list...)

Where do you get those info? Nothing from Fernando yet? At least if he is still in, No Melzer for a possible 4th meeting. :p

Next ALTs??

Gasquet finally IN without his WC so the three WC are still unknown surely waiting the decisons of some players.

Any news of JC?

when will be posted the order of play for tomorrow qual matches?

...and someone to come at this tournament?

the Q draw will be made at 9 pm so after that :p

Otkazao nastup u Nici, ide izravno na Roland Garros

Mario Ančić bit će jedini hrvatski predstavnik ovaj tjedan na ATP turniru u Nici. Ondje je trebao igrati i Ivan Ljubičić, no Ljubo je ipak odlučio propustiti taj nastup.

– Stanje s ozljedom potrbušnice je dobro, no nema smisla riskirati. Radije idem ranije u Pariz gdje ću se na miru pripremati za nastup na Roland Garrosu – kaže Ivan.


using google translate

Cancelled concert in Nice, goes directly to Roland Garros

Mario Ancic will be the only Croatian representative this week at the ATP tournament in Nice. There was supposed to play Ivan Ljubicic, but Ljubo has decided to miss this show.

- At the peritoneum injury is good, but it makes no sense to risk. Prefer to go earlier in Paris, where I will be alone to prepare for their performance at Roland Garros - says Ivan.

good for dolgopolov not having to do qualis even here, he can do really well (or, i hope so)

the draw is out : WC to Clément, Ancic and Mina....no JCF !!!

it's an ok entry list but i wouldn't go so far as to call it nice.

:bigclap:

this entry list is very nice for an ATP250 event ( remember Estoril... )
