Thanks for the announcement.

Was this tournament played in 2005 and earlier? I wonder about previous draws.

Thanks a lot! How could I forget about SteveG's page

In fact I wanted to check the participations of Europeans in Copa Petrobras, because for them the dates of "Masters" are not so perfect. According to your link, in 2005 Kiefer was replaced by Chela... So maybe this year some withdrawals will take place, too.

They decided to replace Aracaju Challenger by this event? Rio de Janeiro would be a way better, for sure lol

 

[TankingTheSet]

Of the 8 players last year, only Canas, Hartfield and Roitman won a Petrobas clay challenger in 2006. Alves and Saretta won challengers in Brazil in 2006 on hardcourt (not Petrobas?). El Aynaoui, Ghem, and Kuerten were wildcards.

So I think there is a lot of flexibility in the field. Canas, Dabul and Oscar Hernandez won challengers in Brazil in 2007, maybe they will be asked.

thanks in advance if you can make some reportage on match of coria-bellucci later in day...can you make some small video of coria ? I just ask all brazilians because i'm a big fan of coria and see him for a long time it will be magic but i just ask, i will understand a "no" and in back i can make something for you in roland-garros 2008 with brazilians or other....

thanks in advance
