Re: Montreal Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated July 30, 2009)

I also think that the WC given to some Canadian players in Montreal are unfair to the other players.

You cannot compare the WC given in slams because in slams, you have many more players directly entered (and both France and the USA have several players near to this direct entrance).

Here it's 56 players masters 1000, and it's much more difficult to enter ... and they give the WC to players ranked lower to 200, even 300 :rolleyes:

And of course beating them in the first round gives many ATP points :cool:

I think the Portugal's attitude for Estoril is remarkable :yeah:

There is no other ATP event in Canada, so this is the only chance for the Canadian players to get a WC.

Canadian fans would rather watch Canadian players than some random players you can think of giving WCs to :shrug:
People know more about Niemeyer and Dancevic here than they do, say, Ferrero, probably :shrug:

Ferrero's name gets him plenty of wildcards. If he had done anything of note in the past year, he probably would have recieved one. Look at Hewitt - he was injured but has played great lately, fans want to see him, so he got a wildcard. Ferrero is a washed up old has-been. By your logic I suppose they should have given wildcards to Gaudio and Moya as well? The tournament directors know what they are doing, and the Montreal fans will be very excited to see Fred.

Canada has one ATP event a year. Are you really so outraged they are giving 75% of the wildcards to Canadian players? Seriously, get over it.

Re: Montreal Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated August 6, 2009)

Out: Ancic, Blake, Gasquet, Montanes, Nalbandian, Santoro and from ALT: Almagro, Becker, Seppi, Tipsarevic, Nieminen, Clement
IN: Zverev, Sela, Querrey, Serra, Petzschner, Hewitt
NEXT: Vasallo Arguello, Beck, Gicquel
One free wildcard since Hewitt got direct entry now...

Does anyone know why Gasquet doesn't want to play???

Gasquet!!

I read that Richard is training with Deblicker on his premisses in Aix-en Provence and working physically with Perotte.

Probaly not ready yet so should be back in Cincy and then New Haven if he gets the Wild-Card.
