Eco
Maybe he will get Protected Ranking for Athens Challenger or will he have to qualify or he will get a wildcard? If he gets a wildcard, what about Maza, Jaku, Kleftakos, and Paris. Maybe Kallias but he plays for Cyprus so maybe QWC

Kostas is playing qualifying at the Challenger in Rabat, Morocco this weekend
I'm so proud of him. To be honest, I thought this was the end for him. Here is the draw:

Martin Alund ARG [1] has a Bye
Jan Hajek CZE vs. Badr Ouabdelmoumen MAR [WC]
Rabie Chaki MAR [WC] vs. Romano Frantzen NED
Mohamed Saber MAR vs. Alexander Jakupovic GRE [8]

Carlos Poch-Gradin ESP [2] has a Bye
Alessandro Motti ITA vs. Dusan Karol CZE
Nick van der Meer NED vs. Omar Erramy MAR
Malek Jaziri TUN vs. Andrea Arnaboldi ITA [7]

Alberto Brizzi ITA [3] has a Bye
Hicham Khaddari MAR [WC] vs. Andre Baran BRA
Youssef Blila MAR [WC] vs. Antonio Comporto ITA
Ismael Lahlou MAR [WC] vs. Guillermo Olaso ESP [6]

Oleksandr Dolgopolov Jr. UKR [4] vs. Konstantinos Economidis GRE
Mikhail Vasiliev RUS vs. Reda Karakhi MAR
Yassir Bouyahya MAR [WC] vs. Mourad Bennani MAR [WC]
Benoît Paire FRA vs. Iñigo Cervantes-Huegun ESP [5]

Pame!!!!!!!

EDIT-He will probably play doubles with Jakupovic. They make a great pair. On Monday, his doubles rank will take a large fall, as he couldn't defend his 150 points from the ATP Las Vegas semi last year
Maybe he can defend those points with a win here

[Caio_Brasil]

Eco lost

A short article:
Την επανεμφάνισή του στα courts μετά από 5 μήνες απουσίας έκανε το Σαββατοκύριακο που μας πέρασε ο Κωνσταντίνος Οικονομίδης. Ο Έλληνας πρωταθλητής πήρε μέρος στο MOROCCO TENNIS TOUR, Challenger $106,500 που γίνεται στο Marrakech,αλλά δε κατάφερε να προχωρήσει. Ηττήθηκε στον 1ο προκριματικό γύρο από τον Ισπανό Adrian MENENDEZ-MACEIRA, Νο 336 στον κόσμο και αποκλείστηκε. Ο Κωνσταντίνος, που βρίσκεται στο Νο 581 της παγκόσμιας κατάταξης, αναμένεται να δώσει το παρόν στο STATUS ATHENS OPEN 2009 σε 3 εβδομάδες στην Αθήνα.



Basically, it says that Kostas is back on the courts after five months, and that he lost. It also says that he is expected to get a WC (MD) into the Status Athens Open
