Yeah, not bad, 7 of the top 8.

Looks as if most of the top players after that have thought, hmm,  maybe not !   smile

More likely that's where the appearance money ran out!

Not looking quite so good now. Fed and Davydonkey are confirmed non-starters and it's reported Rafa and Verdasco are also out

This Spanish newspaper appears to confirm that Rafa AND Verdasco are out of Dubai.

The same article seems to say that Rafa wants to be fit to play DC for Spain but Verdasco is not likely to play.

Perhaps Dubai will try to get Tsonga to play; he's not down on any Entry Lists next week.

Tsonga has played every week since Aus Open so I'm not sure he would be up for it.

Article in Daily mail indicates Dubai may be cancelled (I dont know if they mean this year!)-

ATP Dubai
Senior ATP officials have flown out to Dubai to try to salvage the growing Israeli visa crisis after hearing that doubles specialist Andy Ram is likely to be barred from next weeks Barclays Championships in the UAE.

The UAE bans Israelis from visiting the country and prevented Rams compatriot Shahar Peer from competing in this weeks womens tournament.

And a refusal to also issue Australian Open doubles winner Ram with a visa could have serious ramifications, with the ATP mens tour believed to be considering cancelling the lucrative event.

The 28-year-old said: I hope they have learned from their mistake in barring Shahar. I just want to receive a visa and play.

I  should have read The Times first!


Thank goodness that common sense prevailed - Sport should not be governed by politics

Now if the Arabs boycott the event as was feared  with Shahar it is their loss.

I think he was born in Argentina or has an Argentian parent or something like that.

Yes but apparently he only applied using his Iraeli passport or something.
