Re: Amersfoort Entry List (updated June 4, 2008)
Well i looked at the cut from the last couple of years and you're right:
2004: 122
2005: 124
2006: 111
2007: 99
2008: 141
It wasn't much better but this year is a joke. Highest ranked player in the current entry list is Gicquel at 48. In the other years they at least got some decent top 50 players with the Chileans (Massu and Gonzo) coming here every year and also the likes of Djokovic, Coria, Puerta, Mathieu and Moya playing in Amersfoort.
Lot of dirtballers between 85 and 130 now and with Haase now out as well not really a good chance that a Dutchie will go far in this tournament.
I'd like to see Suso, Cuevas, Gabash and Doud play sometime but 22,50 to 52,50 is just absurd.
Much better? Ever since the event moved from Amsterdam to Amersfoort, the tournament took a blow and the field has been quite poor. Of course the list is worse this year, but it's only logical considering it has to compete with Umag and Kitzbühel, both of which are loved by players. And Indianapolis, although the type of players that go there are not very likely to come to Amersfoort in the first place.
