Sousa running away from the Clay as long as he can :haha: Never thought I see the day a portuguese player doing this. Montpellier, Rotterdam, Marseille and Dubai. So choosing also the stronger tournaments, doing a anti-vulture campaign as usual.

Which is something he really needs to stop doing, if he focused on weaker events he could probably get a seed by Wimbledon

Re: Dubai Entry List (updated January 15, 2015)

No use for Sousa to focus on weaker events. He scored most of his points at such events already, so if he wants to make any progress, it's necessary to do something on higher level. For instance, IW and Miami. Thinking that way, his current tournament selection makes sense.

WC to Baghdatis

Re: Dubai Entry List (updated January 15, 2015)

Anyone knows when the qualifying draw and the main draw will be released ?

The final is played one day earlier on Saturday so I would expect that at least the QD is out by now ...

Qualifying draw still hadn't been released as of a couple of hours ago.

It's 7pm but still no sign of the ATP qualifying draw here in the press room. Qualifying matches start tomorrow. #DDFTennis

The women's draw took place on a Saturday so I think the men's main draw will probably happen tomorrow.

EDIT - here is qualifying draw now.

WC for James McGee

Re: Main Draw

Zverev with wildcard AGAIN?!! :superlol::superlol:



But seriously, how incredible money must stay behind him... It's the only reason which may explain this absurd

WC for James McGee

What such strange WC given to Mc Gee instead Coric for instante who is playing quallies .

Re: Main Draw

Not official yet but it seems Goffin might withdraw. (He had an injury recently)

Reem Abulleil ‏@ReemAbulleil
Not announced officially, but hearing that Goffin is pulling out of Dubai.

Accoring to Reem, Coric would be the LL.

Sorry Goffin fans if this info is wrong, he still seems to be in the draw tonight.

Kohli has withdrawn with illness though and Coric will replace him now.

Re: Dubai Entry List (updated February 21, 2015)

Finnaly a good draw for Sousa! Coric could not handle Fabrice Martin, what would do in the main scheme?!

 

[Super Hérault]

What happened to Marcos ? Retiring before deciding tie-break ! It should be serious.
