This might be a silly question, but won't Nadal be the number 1 seed now that he's officially the world number 1? Or have the seeds been decided already?
The first post says that seeding is based on the August 18 rankings.I think that Federer is still seeded first and Rafa second, because as they do for the places in the main draw they take the rankings as they were one month before the event!! But I could be wrong!!
Hewitt has withdrawn/will withdraw as he just had hip surgery and won't be playing again until January 2009.OUT: Ancic, Baghdatis, Chela, Haase, Ljubicic (none from ALT)
IN: Odesnik, Gil, Andujar, Hernandez, Karanusic
NEXT: Nishikori, Becker, Dabul, Anderson, Beck
Thanks for clearing that up. Good luck to Nishikori and a speedy recovery to Lleyton.Kei Nishikori made a direct entry to US Open due to Hewitt withdrawal. I'm happy for Kei but sorry for Hewitt. Wishing a speedy recovery!
Tomorrow 11:00am local time (5:00pm CET)At what time there will be the main draw tomorrow??? Sorry for my english and thank you for the answers...![]()
