WCs to Filippo Volandri, Potito Starace & Alberto Martín.

Zagra Volandri!

Do pierwszych piłek turnieju Pekao Open został niespełna tydzień. Przygotowania do wielkiego tenisowego święta idą więc pełną parą, nie tylko ze względu na obchodzony w tym roku jubileusz. Z okazji 15-lecia mamy niespodziankę: 15 zawodników z pierwszej 100 rankingu ATP. Tego w Szczecinie nie było jeszcze nigdy!
Na zeszłotygodniowych konferencjach prasowych (kilka zdjęć jest już w naszej galerii - zapraszamy) ogłosiliśmy nazwiska 14 tenisistów. Dziś pora na ostatnie, które nie tyle trzymaliśmy w tajemnicy, ile sami byliśmy trzymani w niepewności. Chętnych było wielu, stanęło na Włochu Filippo Volandrim (29. miejsce w rankingu ATP).

The entry list may well have been made before the DC team was announced. You cannot count on being nominated, so you need a back-up plan.

That's correct. I would have expected him to have withdrawn by now.

Eschauer will also play DC for Austria

The entire threesome will appear at us thanks to „WC”. Fourth will fall to Marcin Gawron, the finalist junior Wimbledon from before the year. So what will be with the announced veteran Alberto Martin? He will play, yes, indeed, but in preliminaries, and will get the wild card to doubles.

Monfils has qualified for Bucharest and can make the final...he will probably be tired, maybe even injured...
