[Nolby]

Stephan,

Nalby is a confirmed seed at the USO even without a protected ranking. He will be ranked #33 on Monday, even with Fish moving into the top 30. Tsonga and Del Potro are confirmed as withdrawn from the USO. So he is seeded 31st at worst (32 seeds). It is possible, even probable that there will be some other withdrawals.

Everything I've read indicates you can't use a "protected ranking" to get a seed at the USO, you can only use it to get into the Open. But it doesn't matter anyway, as David will be seeded based on his stunning results for this year to date.

[arch_enemy]

Being seed really can help David a lot in previous rounds,if David pass through the first two rounds,he is very likely to face big 4 in 3rd round,which is very tough
Feel a bit nervous and hope he can get a good draw!

[nalbyfan]

USO website confirmed Nalby was seed N°31, maybe N°30 if Isner withdraws before the draw is made ??? Wait and see

[Naina]

Good Luck David I hope he has a great USO.

Almost certainly better than R1 Chardy vs. Gulbis.

It will be one of these dudes: http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/qs/index.html

[camilia]

Whoever the qualifier is, he shouldn't pose a real threat to him if everything goes well!
