I modified the Entry List on page 1. Nalbandian, Haas, Hewitt, and Baghdatis are out. Still unclear are Tsonga, Youzhny, Gonzalez and apparently Federer  . We'll see what happens. Thanks! Hummm.... I see Kiefer is now the first in the alternate list, so if the SE spot is cleared he has direct entry. I wonder if then his WC will be given to someone else (Zverev, Mario...) |

I think if he plays and gets through qualies it will help him find some rhythm and help him get far in the draw in Hamburg.

Gonzalez is out 100% and SE will be cleared, so Kiefer and Bolelli are in the Main Draw. That leaves two Wild Cards up for grabs (Marat and Mario, please...)what is SE? I tried googling it but cannot find it |

I tried googling it but cannot find it SE = special exempt I think that it's a slot reserved in the main draw for a player that would have been enlisted to play quallies, but because he has reached far in the previous tournament (SF or Final) cannot possibly play quallies. Please correct me if I'm wrong. |

Oh, Mario  . Such an underachieved / talented/ nice boy, sigh........... So fragile, suffer from injuries all the time. Well, Marat is somewhat the same. Why are they so prone to injuries? I really feel for Mario. He must have been suffering physically and mentally. Best of luck to Marat and Mario! |

I think if marat plays and wins qualies, it puts him in a much better shape and gives him a "warmup" before the first round. it will be better than directly playing the first round in my opinion.

RE Special Exempt: Alya basically got it right, but it's a little bit more complicated: thanks, anette! |

What if he plays and lose qualies? Will it be better than playing directly the first round in your opinion?  |

If the Big Yin loses in the qualies, he won't be able to sit down for a week. The ladies will ensure he has a well-skelped erse.
If I was him, I'd win the damned tournament.

. We'll see what happens.
