Geez that is a good list! Stepanek and Verdasco...who'd have thought?

Looks like this could finally be the year that the old guys bite the dust...Mirnyi would probably need a WC to get in (possibly the same with Clement), and I can't really see Johansson and Bjorkman cutting it with this lot. The depth is fantastic!

Good List...Suprised Gasquet Is Going 2 Holland!

MrExcel · 05-07-2008, 04:16 PM

Karlovic has a good chance to defend in what is the last Nottingham tournament.

but-it's-ok · 05-07-2008, 05:56 PM

What a great list for the last Nottingham Open

I'm really pleased that Tursunov is coming back, and am excited about Tsonga and Cilic. No Gasquet for last edition-that really surprises me. Pleased that Verdasco has entered too. All in all a very exciting line-up. I'm sad that Gulbis isn't coming to Nottingham though

I think Karlovic will win it again though.

Would Like Qureshi 2 Come Here!! Itz Matters Of The Wimbledon Qualifiyig, He Wont Come Here If He Has 2 Qualify..If He Can Get A Wimbledon Wild-Card That Will Be Great,Then Theres A Chance Of Him Coming Here!!

PinkFeatherBoa · 05-07-2008, 09:40 PM

Richard, come back to Nottingham, what happened to 'federer of nottingham'?

Oh well, it's still a really good line up for the last Nottingham tournament.

jonny84 · 05-09-2008, 11:59 AM

Surprised that Gasquet does not turn up. Hopefully Tsonga will take this title.

Ferrero Fan · 05-11-2008, 12:07 PM

He wouldnt be because Wimbledon qualies start the week of the tournament, no point in trying to qualify if you cant play in it. He is the fourth alternate on Newport entry list so he should get direct entry into Newport.

Horatio Caine · 06-10-2008, 03:54 PM

Surprised that Koubek has yet to withdraw, given that he has withdrawn from Wimbledon...an oversight on the part of his team? Grosjean isn't looking good either.
