Qualifying includes Mannarino, Rosol, and Young.

 

[Federer-Fan]

Wawrinka with some heavy vulturing there. :lol:
Well, it's his home tournament I guess...

 

[Fogmeister]

Why Mannarino is in the qualifying draw? He is in the top 30 for at least the last 6 weeks and will be seeded in RG.

He didn't originally enter.

 

[Challengerslover]

Bellucci.

 

[cmchelsea]

You know it's a weak draw when Becker is the 4th seed.

Anyway on topic the only way Stan doesn't take this is if he strategically tanks for RG.

Hilarious section, Becker and Baghdatis the seeds on clay.

I would expect either Bellucci or Giraldo to come through that half of the draw to be, Giraldo isn't a bad clay court player and Bellucci managed to take novak to 3 sets in rome

 

[Waz]

If Stan reaches Rome final, he will probably skip this tournament.

 

[Yves.]

The state of Swiss tennis outside of Federer and Wawrinka is horrible! Only Swiss wildcards are two QWC for Kelpetindjian and Perret... (who?)

 

[OnTheRun]

Joao Souza vs Joao Sousa... the match of the century :worship:

 

[passingshotDTL]

Sad that Benneteau isn't in this draw - he'd have possibilities here.

If Stan plays, he's obviously the favorite. If he skips it, I wonder if Tipsy might not announce his return in a big way.

FINALLY it will happen..

Must be the worst 4th seed ever on a clay 250.

 

[Edda]

Tipsarevic is playing Istomin in the first round. I'd like to see that match, as I like both.

Wouldn't it be more efficient not to play it? :lol:

 

[flexeter]

Must be the worst 4th seed ever on a clay 250.

Oh come on, he deserved it with a strong finish last season. Although yeah...Becker and clay

I am more astonished by the no. 8, Misha. Don't remember him winning a match in like 2 years.

 

[Gliese581]

wow, thats a crappy field. should be there for stan

 

[Rustie]

Surprised no mention of Albert Ramos Vinolas who hasn't been great lately but is bound to pick up sooner or later. I think he has a shot at the final here.

R1: def Matosevic
R2: Becker...
QF: Istomin/Tipsarevic/Bellucci/Baghdatis
SF: Cilic (beatable on clay)
