Why the fuck is this a 28 field? One of the weaker fields this year.

Vinciguerra has a wildcard as long as he is fit.

Re: Båstad Entry List (updated June 2, 2009)
 

Loving the list :hearts: Especially the first 3 players on it ;)

And, who knows, maybe we will even get a French Open champion in Båstad...

Re: Båstad Entry List (updated June 2, 2009)
 

Schwank will be able to choose Båstad or Stuttgart if both tournaments cancel their SEs... Or he must go to Båstad because he's first ALT here?

Re: Båstad Entry List (updated June 2, 2009)
 

Pim Pim has an Wildcard if he wants it.

Re: Båstad Entry List (updated June 2, 2009)
 

Good luck Juan Monaco, Maximo Gonzalez and Eduardo Schwank :yeah:

Re: Båstad Entry List (updated June 2, 2009)
 

WC's to Rehnquist, Vinciguerra, Pim Pim

Re: Båstad Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated June 11, 2009)
 

the WC's are definetly not right...no one posted it in sweden...so it is not right..do not think Rehnqvist will get one..

Re: Båstad Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated June 11, 2009)
 

Dimitrov definitely has a wild card here and he is included in the players list on the official site.

Re: Båstad Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated June 11, 2009)
 

Excuse my bad words ,, but why the h´ll do they give Dimitrov a WC instead of our very own Daniel Berta,, a player that just won the French Open junior event.

Vinciguerra and Berta is a must to give a WC.. I doubt Pim Pim gonna play here.

Rehnqvist is a warrior, he deserves a WC. Dimitrov can play the Q event. He will come through that one EASY as the Q in Båstad is often like the standard of a Future event

Re: Båstad Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated June 11, 2009)
 

No offense taken, clay is the worst surface for Grigor and he avoided playing on it this season. I don't know why he took the wild card in Bastad, probably did not want to miss the chance he was offered. Berta would be a good choice, he has just won RG, although he is too young for the big guns. I read Berta is getting a WC in Rosmalen on grass, which is also strange as he has just won a Slam on clay :)

Re: Båstad Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated June 11, 2009)
 

Pim Pim will play in Båstad! He said in an interview that he will play 2 challengers and then Båstad :)

Re: Båstad Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated June 11, 2009)
 

Hm, then Dimitrov and Pim Pim will have WC´s. I wonder if they are going to make a Wild Card playoff between Berta, Vinci and Rehnqvist then? Guess that would be fair. Last year i think they had a play off for the Wild Card´s between Tim Göransson, Berta and one more player

Re: Båstad Entry List/Fact Sheet (updated June 11, 2009)
 

Vinci has a WC, this was pretty much confirmed after the Davis Cup performance.
