Goldenboy, he has to win the final Q round to get his 5 points unfortunately. And there's Gorka Fraile seeded to meet him there -

yeah, that's weird. Looks like they've put the points a line too low

Nice work from Alan - the Valencia main draw is taking its own sweet time to materialise, but we do know he won't be meeting a seed in R1. According to the tournament website:

Ferrer(1) vs Bracciali
Ferrero(2) vs Gulbis
Almagro(3) vs Hajek
Verdasco(4) vs Starace
Simon(5) vs Gabashvili
Mayer(6) vs Ventura
Volandri(7) vs Andreev
Garcia-Lopez(8) vs Korolev

Salmon · Tennis legend

Grr! Gulbis playing Ferrero.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

so there are 3 qualifying rounds then?

scoobsuk · Club Coach

Yes there's a 3rd round - looks like he'll have to play Fraile or Gensse in Round 3

Brit James Ward has been given a WC

He'll play a qualifier in R1

oops i got it wrong, this one is 3 match Q

Josh · Challenger level

Yeah, 3 qualie rounds but if alan does qualify he could face James Ward who has a WC, or Gruel, Pless or Di Mauro
