Mello is so unlucky
Anyway, good luck to him and to Thiago (win a match!)

 

[stuey87]

Lovely draw for either Murray or Karlovic and maybe Fish if he beats Flip in the quarters to win a title here
Crappy doubles draw for Auckland/Burgsmuller against the top seeds

 

[SamTennis86]

[revolution]

GO ALEX! :banana:

Also good fortune to

Murray
Karlovic
Querrey
Philippoussis

I'd be interested to know if it's ever happened before that a player has gone from being a wildcard entry due to not high enough ranking one year to top seed the next at a given tournament...

 

[Raquel]

Good luck Andy :yeah:
Alex

Behrend playing when there's clay events available? He played clay events the 2 weeks before Wimbledon, skipped Wimbledon, but is in Newport? Weird.

Nice to see Kendrick get a WC. Maybe he was going to get one anyway, but his showing against Nadal at Wimbledon likely got him this WC. Philppoussis getting another WC though? I'm surprised Donald Young didn't get in there first

I assume Newport was the only one his current ranking allowed him to get a direct entry.

That could be the case but it usually wouldn't stop him playing clay when there's clay Challengers or qualifying to play.

As I'm saying this he'll probably win the whole event now

For some of the guys it's tough to become a challenger journeyman again after having experienced the ATP level. So I assume he just wants to get that feeling of playing a first-rate tournament again (or maybe because of the prize money), even if it's played on his least favoured surface.

good luck:

Andy Murray
Ricardo Mello
Sam Querrey
Bobby Renolds
Igor Kunitsyn
Vincent Spadea
Kristian Pless
Lukasz Kubot
Paul Goldstein (bad draw )
Jurgen Melzer
Razvan Sabau
Frank Dancevic
Alex Bogdanovic

 

[bavaria100]

I see Baghdatis pulled out and the organisers decided to give Kendrick the remaining Wildcard. It was about time he got one. Good luck for your first round match Robert! :bounce:

 

[TennisGrl]

Good luck Andy :yeah:

How many WC can one person get?? It seems like Philoppoussis has received more than his fair share...it's time to for others to get the oppurtunity to play in the Main Draws. He should go and play qualies like all the others "strugglers".

 

[uglyamerican]

Sam vs. Murray in second round, please. If the tennis gods are listening.

 

[pomnok]

I hope Udomchoke will upset Murray in second round. I think he can do it.

 

[Fee]

Interesting draw... Hopefully Justin won't be too tired to make the quarters here...

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Good Luck:

Igor Kunitsyn
Paul Capdeville
Kristian Pless
Kenneth Carlsen
Tomas Behrend :ignore:
Lukasz Kubot
Jürgen Melzer
George Bastl

 

[George_Hanson]

Kubot in the main draw of an ATP event :haha:
