Another direct main draw for Grigor, it is great ....

Good to see Grigor playing there. Hope he can reach at least the QFs or maybe even the semis ;)

Wawrinka will also play, more here:

I try to translate:
He wasn't on the Entry-List released on Tuesday, but he'll play anyway: The Swiss IW quarterfinalist, ranked 14, will also play the BMW Open in Munich. A technical problem hadn't shown the former number 9 on the Entry-List. Wawrinka is the 2nd Top-20 player besides Cilic at the 1st German ATP tournament of the year.

Malisse! :D

WCs for Bachinger and Beck

Kendrick is in? He also is IN in Belgrade.. Guess he wont play both tourneys :p

Is Muller on the list?

Is Muller on the list?

Yes, he's the 15th ALT. :)

BL Kohlischeiber

3rd WC to Brown :rolleyes:

WTF Kühnen?! Brown can't play on clay courts AT ALL (he wasn't able to beat even one Top 1000 guy on clay last year :rolleyes: ). He's also in very bad form (last week was the 1st time this year that he won back-to-back macthes).

He really should have given one to Stebe. This guy is on a roll atm and has way more talent than Brown... but yeah, Brown needs the money more probably.

The SE places will go to Sela and Zeballos?

Janowicz here in qualys.

The SE places will go to Sela and Zeballos?

SE for someone, who plays semifinal in Barcelona.

Sela is currently in MD of Serbia Open and Zeballos is kinda regular on Serbia Open, I expect him this year again ;)

Zeballos will probably play here and not in Belgrade, check the doubles entry list.

Zeballos is going to Munich ;) Look at the doubles list, and he is saying it on his twitter account too :)

Beware, I have counterexample when somebody was on doubles ently list in St. Petersburg and he played in Montpellier. ;)

Totally agree! I have been screaming here for months that Brown was stupid to play on clay so much. And now he gets a WC to this instead of a young an upcoming German player?!

Lol, that sucks ;) But he is saying on twitter he will be here, soooo I dont think he will chance his mind last minute ;)

J.M arranca para Estoril, yo voy para Munich la proxima semana :)) Fue un muy buen entrenamiento, intenso!.

Brown might get in directly, the alternates are pretty much the same at all 3 events and there are 6 SE places for nothing. The WC could be free for another German.

I think Stebe would it get.

Zeballos is in and yes, will be playing here. With SE spots cleared, it's going to be a question of who plays where. Hajek I believe is playing Belgrade so Dustin may get in, which would open up another spot. I think a veteran German would get it, probably Zverev. Dustin shouldn't have gotten a WC in the first place.

Bolelli is in the MD of Belgrade. So no doubles for him here..

Bolelli will play in Munich.

Sorry, my bad. I saw a journalist tweeting he would play in Belgrade. Glad he is here tho :)

Simone likes Munich, he always chooses here! I hope he has a decent result, although the entry list I think is too tough for him to win a match.

I like this more than Estoril and Belgrade
Wawrinka has the best chances to win here

Clay is very quick here from what I've seen in past years.

This is more a Youzhny/Cilic surface than a Wawrinka surface.

Depends on the weather.
