Huss only lost in the US Open mixed doubles yesterday so I guess didn't want to rush out. Plus Rojer has a permanent partnership with Brunstorm.

Good decision to drop down to challenger for a week while they are no ATP's on, particulary with the Davis Cup coming up he needs to get some confidence.

Step down for Chiudinelli after his US Open singles success

aren't you thinking of Geneva?

1)  Delighted with that result.   Here's hoping it's just the start of a good run in Genoa.

2)  Both are correct.  It's just a question of which language is used:  Genova is what the Italians call Genoa.  The fact that the ATP site uses the native name for the location of this particular tournament instead of an Anglicised version (which is a sort of half-way house between the French Gênes & the Italian!), yet blithely refers to Seville (from the French) & not Sevilla smacks of double standards to me. Even the native call it "the Genoa Cup"!

 

it's a bit like Florence/Firenze i guess

i must say ive never played any Final Fantasy game...yes i know im evil lol.

It does indeed seem very odd that the ATP and ITF sites are calling the Challengers Genova & Seville instead of Genoa & Seville or Genova & Sevilla, either of which would at least be consistent, especially when like wolf says, the website in Italian for the former is genoaopen.com!

I've got the impression in the past that the ATP (main tour & Challengers) tend to use the anglicised names and the ITF (when naming the locations for Futures) the local names and have wondered whether this is linked to the way the Spanish players' appellidos maternos (second surnames) tend to suddenly vanish soon after they get into the top 200.
