If one of the top-4 lost early in the Olympics, he will be THE candidate

[The Bulldog]

Has this always been a 48 player draw? I don't think so. This must be a wise change to compensate for the Olympics.

Yeah it's a change for the Olympics iirc.

[156mphserve]

cool, didn't realize it was 48 player. No 1st round seeded opponents for the Canadian WC's

[samanosuke]

watch when this becomes masters 250. Fed won't play even if he goes out early at Olympics, semi-finalists also won't play and doubt that these 4 will be Berlocq, Ferrero, Andujar and Troicki . Moronic schedule

What's the punishment for skipping this anyway?

nothing : zero point that's what it's all about mandatory tournaments.

It might be worse (there's theoretically a "suspension penalty" in the rules which has never been applied) as all skipping players send an excuse (Montanes did so last year or previous one, I don't remember, to skip both canada and Cinci open)

Fed doesn't even need to send an excuse as at his age and carreer, the rules allow him to skip 2 MS1000 tournaments in a year (and next year to skip all of them).

Possible withdrawal for Nadal cause His knee injury?

It seems like according to his uncle http://www.fuebuena.com.ar/?p=18379 . Nadal plans to come back at Cinci

[michel]

possible withdrawal for Monfils too ?

[GoMullerGo]

is muller on the list?

[tommyg6]

Main Wildcards will probably go to Vasek Pospisil, Peter Polansky and Frank Dancevic
Qualie Wildcards will probably go to Erik Chvojka, Filip Peliwo, Pierre Ludovic-Duclos and Steven Diez

[Ausie]
