Should be seeded barring high ranked wild card entries.

Also KJ Hippensteel uses his protected ranking to appear 4th on entry list. But he hasn't played for YONKS so may or may not be there.

16 points for QF's is a minimum

Main draw is not until Monday apparently.

alex plays a oger! a 27 yr old ranked in the 260's but seemed to come to pro tennis quite late.

could meet devilder in the qf's. would be a nice match to get to early on.

however i am not sure how the points will work. i thought at 75k+h it was 0,7,16,31,49,70 however the mds sheet has 0,6,14,27,42,60. which is a 75k (no h)

have they dopped the points for hospitality?

RobC · All-time great

it's not at all clear, checking the new rulebook. My guess is that hospitality still increases the points, but that the Noumea organisers have got it wrong.

ATP must still be working on rules and rankings pages - site says -
"For South African Airways ATP Rankings points allocations: Click here "

BUT when you "click here" it takes you to "INDESIT ATP Rankings Points Breakdown", however this says -
"Any Challenger or Futures providing hospitality shall receive the points of the next highest prize money level in that category."
So I guess points are wrong on drawsheet unless it is the +H which is a mistake

The tournament fact sheet on steveg site http://stevegtennis.com/factsheets/2008/ch-newcaledonia.htm
has 0-7-16-31-49-70

Last year's draw at http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/2205/mds.pdf shows it as a 75K no H (though I've noticed that tournaments with an H don't always show an H on the drawsheet) but 70 points (i.e. 75K + H level) for the winner.

I think the 75K+H is correct and the points on the drawsheet are wrong.

IS there no livescores??

Count Zero · Tennis legend

doubt there will be livescores but hopefully qucik updates.

alex hasd also enteredt dubs, with daniel king-turner they play recouder & ouanna 1st.

alex plays his singles 3.30 tues local time. wonder what that is here?

wolf · Tennis legend

That is 4:30am here. But matches start 1:00am here and Alex is 4th on court, so will probably be later than that.
