Istomin, Rosol, Ungur, Robert... they all preferred to play an indoor hardcourt challenger in Europe instead of flying to Brazil to play the Challenger Tour Finals??
Yes, but I don't personally care about him. Who I want to see win the most is Hajek.
The list looks good on paper but I don't think it's that great. A lot of these guys are in poor form, aren't good on HC, or are just mediocre in general. I think one of Berrer, Mannarino or Lacko win this event and maybe Berankis if he's not too injured. I think Kubot, Stakhovsky and Istomin lose early.

You don´t choose if you want to play Challenger Tour Finals. It works the same way as World Tour Finals, you have to qualify by earning Challenger Tour points
