Inspite of there is not a top 10 player the quality of players is really good. I'm really looking to follow this tournament.

[petar_pan]

First 8 plus Muller, Dodig, Hasse (maybe Devvarman)... seems good.
Cilic, Youzhny, Baghdatis and Melzer are big names.

Klizan - Lacko final and I will eat my shoes with ketchup.

Great to see so many Eastern European players!

That was my first thought, really.

[Chip & Charge]

Hope Dimitrov can claim his first ATP title!

[petar_pan]

Hope Coric will get QWC, Pavic and Delic WC. They should go for WC for Karlovic. That guys really deserved that.

[Gillouthe best]

Dimitrov should claim his 1st ATP here if he plays like he did in Brisbane ( Cilic & Youzhny don't seem to be on top form), and I would also love to watch slovenian trio ( Bedene, Kavcic, Zemlja) do well.

Pretty good list,aside the fact that there's only 1 top 20 player.But overall,I think the list is quite better than last few years.Can't wait for the tournament

In terms of nationality, it is pretty cool. Croatians can understand Slovaks right? And vice versa.

Not completely. I've never really tried to talk to a Slovak in some kind of a mixed Cro-Svk language, but I have met Ivo Klec last summer in Umag, and when I talked to my friends in Croatian Ivo was asked (by ERV ) if he understood us, and he said he only understood small parts of it.

Yes, only few common words. Slovaks understand Czechs without problems (obvious reasons) and only little problems in comunication are with Polish people.

Croats, Serbians, Russians are more problematic, but one can get through it if he tries hard

I've seen Slovaks ordering in restaurants and buying things in shops speaking Slovakian in Croatia, and it kind of worked, that's why I asked.

[petar_pan]

I have been in Bratislava last week and 80-90% of people understand Croatian. Because all of them have been on, how they say, Slovensko more (Slovakian sea, Adriatic sea) and our languages are similar. I understood them too. It's not hard to understand when you just try to.
