[Nacho]

Do the top 4 seeds face seeds 13-16 in the 4th round? Coz I hope Juanqui doesn't draw Gonzo...

 

[Scotso]

I hope Paulo gets a seed!

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

This is how the 2002 Slam seedings went

2002 Aus Open (4th rd seedings)
1 vs 15
2 vs 16
3 vs 13
4 vs 14
5 vs 10
6 vs 12
7 vs 11
8 vs 9

2002 French
1 vs 15
2 vs 13
3 vs 16
4 vs 14
5 vs 9
6 vs 10
7 vs 12
8 vs 11

 

[Nacho]

4 vs 14... I like it

 

[jrm]

has pete entered - i would be very suprised if he showed (has he entered pre-tournament in Camberra), Kafelnikov is out, Rusedski is out so 3 frenchmen get the seeding

 

[esther]

does Kooyong affect the rankings?

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

Kooyong is only an Exhibition event
even if it was an ATP event it would be one week too late

 

[TennisHack]

has pete entered - i would be very suprised if he showed (has he entered pre-tournament in Camberra), Kafelnikov is out, Rusedski is out so 3 frenchmen get the seeding

I've heard that Zhenya has already started training (or at least, he wants to). I definitely wouldn't count him out at this stage in the game.

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

the AUS Open is Zhenya's fav slam, he'll turn up there

i hope he's recovered well from his op

 

[jrm]

i hope he's recovered well from his op

i read on cnn that he plans to come back in davis cup

 

[Ma. Estefania]

Good luck to Fernando!!! I hope he gets a good draw.

 

[kfh_9118]

Hope Zhenya will come to Melbourne

 

[jrm]

if johansson and pete are out that means alex makes to 16.

 

[Nimi]

If Rusedski withdraws, it will only need one more retirement to make Guga a seed

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

Guga should play a tourn in 1st week of year and win it then he will be seeded

 

[jirobkk]

Hope Paradorn can get into top 16 seeded

Hope Paradorn will be doing well in Chennai to defend last year's points. I'm pretty sure if he wins some more matches he will enter top 16 seeded in Aus Open. Because Pete and Thomas are seem to withdraw.

TheBoiledEgg : Thanks for posting Prospective AUS OPEN Seedings. Do you know what is the ranking cut off of qualify list ?
Danai Udomchoke(THA) is now ranked 211. Do you think he can enter qualify main draw ?

 

[TheBoiledEgg]

I'm sure Danai will get in, the Mens Qualifying is a 128 draw

 

[Wojtek]

Sampras will not play . So Guga will be seeded

 

[Scotso]

Come on Rios, don't play
