Josh is now in the main Draw of this event while Arvind (not suprisingly as he has retired) is out

Cool! Who withdrew for Josh to be in. I'll edit the first post!


That's what I thought about Arvind but as he was entered I put him in there. I'll remove him form the first post!


Also Marray may be trying to qualify in Bratislava I think, and Delgado/Murra y will probably head here after AAchen.

It's great that Josh has made the main draw. I'd be surprised if Marray goes for Bratislava qualies as he's got a much greater chance of doing some damage in Eckental.

This tournament is on fast indoor carpet.

IMO, Tsonga is the man to watch. The guy's only been playing for 4 months of the year and he's still reached 6 finals [two challengers]. He beat Koubek in Paris earlier this week.

I'd be surprised if Jamie Murray plays here, I think he's more likely to go for Bratislava where there's bigger points on offer and more chance to move up the rankings. I wouldn't be surprised if Auckland and Delgado go for Eckental though, to recoup some of the points lost in Aachen. They'll surely be top seeds if they play. However, if James is serious about making the top 70 by the end of this month, he has to play in Bratislava.

It's a 25K+H, so same points as a 50K but less prize money. However, hospitality is paid for

True. Maybe he wants to play singles as well. He might have landed someone like Arthurs to play Aussie Open with or something

Ross Hutchins and Lee Childs are in qualifying. Lee is the 6th seed.

QR1:

L Childs [GB][6] v P Gojowczyk [Ger][WC]

R Hutchins [GB] v D Klier [Ger]


Gojowczyk is 17, he's concentrated mainly on seniors so far and is ranked 816. His 2006 highlights are making the semis of a futures on indoor hard in Sweden, making the quarters of a clay-court futures in Austria and making the quarters of one of the recent satellites in Germany. He's played one Brit this year, Jamie Baker trounced him 2 and 2 in Greece. Lee should win but it could be tough, probably 3 sets.

Klier is ranked 470. He reached the semis of a 15K in Glasgow recently, beating Huta-Galung along the way ! Has been beaten by Flanagan and Rushby recently. His other 2006 highlights are 1 semi and 2 quarters in futures on clay and a very good set of performances in a satellite in Bulgaria.

I don't think there are live scores unfortunately but I may be wrong. Can someone check

What is the prize ?

Just wondering as if it's something decent, I'll have a good hard think. If it's not, I'll just select Goodall [tho on 2nd thoughts maybe I should as my predictions have been a bit like the kiss of death of late]

Surely it's not that hard to decipher the German even if you don't speak it? LOL

or (one of) 10 "Wellness Days" worth 79 Euros and 100 additional prizes worth over 1250 Euros (I assume they mean 79 per day and 1250 in total over the 100 prizes)


Probably not of great interest unless you live there, but it would be fun to be able to say you'd won.

Good to see Ross and Lee giving the qualies a go here. I hope Lee can qualify but think Ross will probably struggle after QR1.


Marray and Auckland did go to Bratislava in the end!

Not too concerned about Berrer. Josh can beat him, but there's no real shame if he doesn't.
