If Andy gets inside the top 32 by the time of the tournament he will be seeded
Shows how difficult it is to move up in the rankings when you get this high. You have to make an ATP final just to move up a couple of places. When Andy was ranked in the 100s that would take him up about 60 places !!!
andy will be in the top 32 on monday. If he wins it he'll be 27 in the world and virtually guaranteed a seeding. If he manages to carry on his form to toronto or cincy he should be at least an upper lower seed (seeds 16-24 meaning he would avoid seeds 1-8 in the third round.)
The USTA today announced that a talented group of young Americans consisting of Scoville Jenkins (Atlanta), Alex Kuznetsov (Richboro, Pa.), Wayne Odesnik (Weston, Fla.), Sam Querrey (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), Phillip Simmonds (Reston, Va.), Ryan Sweeting (Fort Lauderdale) and Donald Young (Atlanta), as well as Mark Philippoussis of Australia, have been awarded men's singles main draw wild card entries into the 2006 US Open, to be played Aug. 28-Sep. 10.
In addition to the eight US Open men's singles main draw wild cards, the USTA also announced the nine men who have been awarded wild card entries into the US Open Qualifying Tournament, which will be held August 22-25 at the USTA National Tennis Center.
Six of the nine qualifying wild card recipients are age 20 or younger.
Players receiving US Open qualifying wild cards are: Ryler De Heart (22, Tampa, Fla.), Brendan Evans (20, Key Biscayne, Fla.), Marcus Fugate (18, Fairport, N.Y.), Nikita Kryvonos (19, Flushing, N.Y.), Jesse Levine (18, Boca Raton, Fla.), Scott Oudsema (20, Kalamazoo, Mich.), Rajeev Ram (22, Carmel, Ind.), Tim Smyczek (18, Hales Corners, Wisc.), and Robert Yim (21, Glendale, Calif.).
The 2006 US Open will mark the culmination of the US Open Series, the six-week summer tennis season linking all major ATP and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour tournaments in North America to the US Open. The US Open is the highest attended annual sporting event in the world. More than 87 million viewers watched the 2005 US Open on CBS Sports and USA Network, and international broadcasts reached 184 countries.
will boggo just scrap a Q seeding here? i hope so, as he has been seeded at FO and would have been at wimby too, I know he has had a really difficult summer so far, only played newport and this graz challenger, but its a shame to see he hasnt been able to keep on building on his relativly good year.

Kiefer's out. Hewitt maybe a possibility due the right knee injury.
what i dont understand is why do they use the ranking list from a month ago to confirm players entered for the USO, even though the seedings are allocated by this week's rankings? why cant they just use this week's rankings as the entry list?
I think the entry list here shoud be updated to this week's ranking list, there at least its easier to know whereabout andy's seeding going to be!

According to this week's ranking,Kiefer is ranked 20th which means he is below Andy and thus will not affect andy's seeding at the USO
