[Super Djoker]

Good luck Ward

[Sombrerero loco]

GL gulbis, kavcic, berankis

[Domis]

GL Berankis

[posteni]

Some of the top players listed here are also on Rome masters qualifying list. It will be interesting to see what happens if they come to semis here. Maybe someone plays on both tournaments same day (Tsonga did so a couple of years ago in London/Queens and Surbiton CH)

[Nathaliia]

so berankis comes back here
interesting

i checked withdrawals and he's still in.

brown, lorenzi, beck, schwank will be out

[sravat1234]

Nice list but I I'm not sure about Kudla playing on clay.

[PDC]

Pablo Carreño back after his injury?

[Smoke944]

Quinzi makes his singles challenger level debut

[Filo V.]

Simone vs Rycka? Oh hell no

Simone basically must make the finals. Brizzi can cause trouble in the QF should the two play. Hopefully Rufin loses before the SF so Simone doesn't have to play him. If that happens, a final is a must.

GL to Quinzi in his R1, getting a qualifier is definitely advantageous.

Look for Teixeira to take Gulbis out R1. Also GL to every single potential opponent vs Machado.

Final Qualifying Round:

Benjamin Mitchell AUS [1] vs. Walter Trusendi ITA [8]
Bastian Knittel GER [2] vs. Rhyne Williams USA [5]
Alejandro Fabbri ARG vs. Boris Pashanski SRB [6]
Henri Laaksonen FIN vs. Andrei Daescu ROU

Fabbri took out Struff

[Chase Visa]

I'll say a Bolelli/Machado final.
