Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

Petzschner looks like the favourite. :yeah:

 

[JMG]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

WC for Gojowczyk, according to his website.

I think we can very much expect a WC for Seifert and maybe Brunken.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

Seifert is from the region? He has been doing well in Futures.

WTF is Brunken

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

Petzschner looks like the favourite. :yeah:

Meffert, Beck, Greul too.

 

[JMG]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

Seifert and Brunken are both from the region. Brunken had good results in the Juniors lately and practiced a lot with Kiefer. :worship:

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

OK :lol: He has a horrible first name though

 

[Nathaliia]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

Anybody going to that tournament? :angel:

 

[albertobrizzifan]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

hmmm....so Alberto is in Alternates no. 16. Too bad I'm not going to Germany recently....sad.:sad:

 

[Raul]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

Philipp Petzschner :yawn:
Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi :lol:
Robert Smeets ( Ohhhh, my friend will play there )

 

[Chris-swede]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

Seifert is playing big lately, he is from Hannover. But i do not know if he can receive a WC for a challenger in Wolfsburg?
Brunken is on the same school like i was, he is great as a junior. Nearly beat Tomic in Australian Open! He is also from Hannover (Brunken) like me.

 

[JMG]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

It is confirmed, the DTB wildcard goes to Gojowczyk and the NTV wildcard to Seifert. Now only the two tournament wildcards are left.

 

[Goldmund]

Re: Week 9: Wolfsburg, Germany [Entry List]

OK :lol: He has a horrible first name though

well....Jaan-Frederik Brunken doesn't sound very german. So it seems to me that he's got some influences in his family coming from your beautiful country CooCoo
