I guess all those withdrawals relate to being able to get a flight to Reunion island in time...

surely its worth a few brits turning up to sign in!! anyone with a ranking would get straight into the main draw! plus they are definately going to get a point for being in main draw. also players like stoop could win it

It is very expensive to fly to Reunion, and the flights are not all that frequent. I know - my daughter did six months there as part of her University degree!

Yes, not worth it for just one week. The should at least have kept a 10K the week before.



Lee Childs played  a Challenger in Reunion in 2005 where the cut was far below ATP ranking. 
But he was unlucky enough to draw the second seed (Lukasz Kubot) in the first round and lost by 1 and 1.

Wherever you checked is wrong ... Reunion Island is near Mauritius off the East of Africa and West of India!

Paris and Saint Denis are 5815.84 miles away from each other. *

There is a suburb of Paris called St Denis, which may be confusing matters, but this tournament is definitely on the sub-tropical island where my daughter was lucky enough to study for six months.

On a higher level, anybody fancy playing in the Rimouski Challenger in Canada? There is no qualifying due to lack of entrants! (To be fair the main draw is respectable)
