Jesse just played the play-offs for the American RG wild card, so I doubt he will skip.

just saw it, he lost to Odesnik

but at least he's finally playing again, hope you're right and he will show up here

Nishikori, Reynolds or Miranda should win this tourney, Kendrick should have chances as well if he gets used to the surface
