Strong list.

I'm agree, nice list.

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

there´s no way balazs can defend his title here T_T

 

[orangehat]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

balazs is not on the entry list

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Schoorel is out. Shoulder injury.

 

[Winter25]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

why would olaso and navarro deleate off of entry list? Won't they get SE's if they win tomorrow??

 

[Kante]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Schoorel out, Veic in.

 

[Winter25]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

If you want to be an SE do you deleate yourself on the entry list like olsaso did?? What is the purpose of that..

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

why would olaso and navarro deleate off of entry list? Won't they get SE's if they win tomorrow??

Navarro will play 15K Future next week, no idea about Olaso (maybe WC in the same spanish future, since he's not on the entry list)

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Riba v Gil R1 is an ATP quality match in a challenger first round. But Fred has allowed his ranking slip to the point he has to play players like this early. He needs the win more, I hope he wins.

Junqueira v Carreno again in R1. Can't see a different result than Carreno winning again.

Kavcic v Vagnozzi R1 should be a cool match to watch. Two lightweights going at it. I like Benoit's chances to take either out in the second round.

Muster should have chances to beat Di Mauro if fit.

Very evenly matched draw, GL to my faves.

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Nice draw for T. Muster. Di Mauro is by far one of the easier oppenents. At 5 p.m. tehre should be some spectators. In my opnion it is very important for Thomas as he pushes himself up to his best level with the help of the crowd. If he is able to get on fire there is a slight chance to win 1st round. GL

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

unbelievable they gave a wc to muster and not to the defending champion instead :facepalm:

 

[Filo V.]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Balazs brings absolutely nothing to the event, and Muster does.

 

[Filo V.]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Marti beat Pashanski in nearly three hours to qualify here. I only saw like the last few minutes but the scoreboard suggests it was a pretty crazy, up-and-down match. Did Boris have match-points or a lead in the second set?

 

[Filo V.]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Both Riba and Gil are known as grinders but Pere actually has pop on his serve and forehand, which makes the big difference between these two in terms of quality.

 

[Filo V.]

Re: Week 40: Palermo (Entry List)

Gil def. Riba 2-6 6-1 3-0 ret.

Pere I guess still has health issues, or so it appeared.

Ciric def. Dancevic 5-7 6-4 6-3

He didn't seem injured to me.
