Great entry list.

Vamos David and Juan Martin

Good to see Querrey back. Hope the elbow's okay.

Why Gulbis (48), Montanes (53) or Nalbandian (63) are IN and Andujar (43) and Robredo (44) are not in MD????

Most of them will get WC for sure.



Nice list. :worship: Granollers defends final points here. :facepalm: :help:

The first 3 are commitment players, so they can enter any 500 MD regardless of their ranking. Not allowing that would be stupid as that would give players a lot of zero pointers.

Robredo will get WC provided no one pulls out.

Soderling is out till the end of 2011 acoording to his agent

soderling probably out as he has withdrawn from paris.

Any information about the WC´s yet?

Would love to know this as well. I know Juan Monaco has said he'll be asking for a WC, but would love confirmation. Does anyone know anything? :)

I am hoping Monaco, Robredo and Javier Marti will get the WC´s! Can´t wait to be in Valencia :bounce: :bounce:

Robredo should be in, I really hope. He is second on alt list. :)

I can't wait to go there, hope to see all Spanish players do very well. :) Exciting times to come! :D

Giraldo is OUT as he is now in Basel MD. Nishikori, Kubot, Istomin, Kukushkin and Stakhovsky are in Basel Qualifying Entry List, so they'll be out soon in Valencia, too.

I think they would play here if they get IN here and not in Basel.

Yes, you're right but it will be quite strange as it seems we haven't many players out for this tournament.

By the way, Pablo Andújar will be WC for sure if he doesn't reach MD. Pablo is the first one in the Alts list now but Valencian Federation always have one WC here. It will be for Pablo if he needs it.

Nalbandian is out, returns to Argentina to prepare for the Davis Cup.

Robredo should be in, I really hope. He is second on alt list. :)

He retired in Vienna, he'll probably be out of Valencia
