The qualie draw is posted here:
http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/...on/TrackIt.asp?file=/posting/2005/3348/QS.pdf

And the OOP for Saturday is here:

http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/...on/TrackIt.asp?file=/posting/2005/3348/op.pdf

Players only have to win 2 matches to qualify, but they have to win them both on Saturday.

(I might type up the draw a little later, but I'm not doing it right now).

It's a 48 main draw so they'll have 8 qualifiers

38DA + 2SE + 4WC + 4Q = 48

Good Luck

Big Dick

 

[AndyMurray]

38DA + 2SE + 4WC + 4Q = 48

How do you explain the qualies draw then, the fact that eight will go through, and that the two rounds will be played today?

two rounds will be played today ...

i think that the final round will be played on sunday

the draw sheet is probably fucked up they probably forgot the final round of qualies on there

 

[italy_tennis]

Safin and Kuerten withdraws....then 2 WC are free....there are chances that top seeds of qualies will to be admitted directly in MD?

 

[Scotso]

good luck:

Jan-Michael Gambill
Lars Burgsmuller
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez
Janko Tipsarevic

 

[Aguante_el_Gato]

From oficcial scoreboard:
Gambill def. Cermak 6-4 6-3
J.Knowle leads Tipsarevic 7-6 , *0-0
Sargsian leads Wai 7-5 , *1-2

 

[Aguante_el_Gato]

Gambill def. Cermak 6-4 6-3
J.Knowle def. Tipsarevic 7-6 , 7-6
Sargsian def. Wai 7-5 , 5-4 (and Wai retirement, I supose)

[Fee]

I think you're right based on the number of direct entrants, the fact that the other 48 draw events in the U.S. have been holding 32 draw qualifying events-with four qualifiers--this year (due to ATP vote in March) & that there are three rounds of qualifying listed on the fact sheet (re. prize money).

I would agree with that... but on their website it says qualifying just today, and main draw 2moro

Also, if the main draw starts 2moro... where is the draw?! What a good start for this tournament!
