Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Wow Marin last direct entry :lol:
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Hm...How many "top-10" players will play here (in your opinion) ?
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

I think all non-American Top 10 will play for sure, Roddick isn't playing Houston this year so maybe we'll see him here for once...
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Wow... Top 45? :eek:
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

i hope corial be able to play here, they should give him a WC as he was three times runner up and winner in 2004
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Gustavo Kuerten play here, because the orgarnization can give WC in last year of circuit...
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

So, Vamos Guga? Vamos ! :D
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Guga? Wow. Good luck
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Roddick and Blake, can they be taken off the list already.
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

I hate that it's 56. Bring back the 64 player MC.

Roddick isn't down for Houston, so maybe he turns up (has he ever turned up for MC?). The Yanks should be fined for not turning up, just as 'dirtballers' who can't be arsed with Wimbledon should be.
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Andreas :D
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

is dudi sela located in the alternates list?
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

i hope corial be able to play here, they should give him a WC as he was three times runner up and winner in 2004
i hope so...he deserves it but ... french people are preservative...
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Will Safin attempt to play quallies here or could he also get a WC?
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Will Safin attempt to play quallies here or could he also get a WC?

No, he won't play quallies. He will try to get a WC for MC and I think he will
get it.

It's unlikely he will get one for Rome and Hamburg though :(

These tournaments usually give WCs to their players :rolleyes: and in Rome he
never played well.
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

Nadal to win here again this year. He won't give up his Monte Carlo crown quite yet I think.
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

OMG Clement, Lee, Querrey, Kiefer, and so many great players to play Qs.. :eek:
Re: Monte-Carlo Entry List (updated March 11, 2008)

confirmed WC to Gustavo Kuerten (BRA)
