Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

Wow this list is so horrible when compared to the other two tournaments...

Maybe they will get some Top 50 players to join for WC.

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

i believe bhambri should get a card?

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

no Berdych ?

his name had been announced a little time ago :

and Devvarman who has come back recently

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

Two Dutch seeds!

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

It is strange, because Berdych said in interview after DC win that he starts season in Chennai.

Hopefully he won´t ask for late WC :facepalm:

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

3 Top 20's and 1 more top 50, so that's four tour reg's and the rest are CH worthy, nice. :(

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

Really, really weak.

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

ouch!

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

Ito, Berlocq and Muller who are in qualies in Brisbane would be seeded here :lol:

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

no Malisse :eek:

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

This tournament was always the weakest this week because Doha alway had one or two of the big 4 and brisbane alway had alot "second class" players (5-20 )

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

It's even weaker than last year, last year they had 2 top 10's 3 top 20's, 7 top 50's and the last entry was #101.

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

Boa sorte João Sousa!!! Vamos! I think this is his first direct entry in a ATP tournament, but not sure of it.

Re: Chennai Entry List (T/K)
 

I hope Berdych plays :o
