[Jader Magri]

Very good, 9 top 100 with Ferrero, Mathieu and Gasquet in list too...
Good luck for Bellucci and Marcos Daniel. Vamoooos!

[ImmzB]

Come on Gasquet!!

[PinkFeatherBoa]

Allez Richard et Paulo. Nice of you to choose 2010 of all years to play in SA. Better make it up to me by doing well here.

[Bad Religion]

Better list than Santiago

[sebbaas]

And Crazy Dani? He isnt in any entry list this week

[fran70]

Strange that Monaco is not going to play there

[shotgun]

Nothing new barring Hanescu and Gasquet. Gasquet had a great match against Guga here six years ago, when he was only 17.

[Getta]

speaking of Hanescu and Gasquet, i'm as surprised to see Richie heading into Brazil as i was by his 2008's rare foray into Bucharest territory.

Nalby could ask for a WC if he's fit enough to play (see official Nalby page)

[Davidcuervacho]

Good luck Horacio Zeballos, Jose Acasuso, Juan Chela and Martin Vassallo Arguello

[Elirj70]

Vamos, Bellucci!!!

[Action Jackson]

Monaco is resting this week so he can be ready for Buenos Aires.

[Jader Magri]

Wild card for Ricardo Mello...
