No.25 was absent in the alternates list

I'm surprised that Harrison would skip the last challenger of the season while playing the two right before it, especially seeing as how the U of I courts tend to play quick and favor players with his style of game. I'll look forward to seeing Nishikori though. I've picked two of the last three winners at this tournament, and at the moment am leaning towards Bobby Reynolds using his serve to prevail here barring any quality WCs.

Ryan Harrison is on the Bratislava entry list this week.

Thanks for the heads up Smoke, as you are always on top of things.

It does strike me as odd that he would go Charlottesville, Knoxville, and Bratislava (where he will presumably have to qualify) than go Charlottesville, Knoxville, and Champaign (where he would easily be in the MD), but I'm guessing that he is opting for the higher pay/higher points tournament and is intending to double up and play in Helsinki as well in the final week of challenger tournaments.

Where do you see your variant?
On http://www.tennisteen.it/notizie/ent...mbre-2010.html the list is still corrupted. On http://www.illinoischallenger.com/pdfs/Champaign.pdf we find Duclos as No.25 really, but No. 34 is Poch-Gradin...

And according to http://www.illinoischallenger.com/pdfs/Champaign.pdf, McClune has direct entry to MD with his protected ranking

[jonnyboy21]

Hmm...I enjoy following the American CHallenger circuit but they lost a lot of quality with marinko, tim, ryan and donald all out of the draw(resting up)?

Anyway, Im waiting to hear about live scoring for this tourney, will let you know..

[Filo V.]

I wonder if Mikey will WC here, since he's the defending champion.
