Good to hear that you know your role

Maybe we should petition Vonce's mum, just to make absolutely sure he gets that DVD recorder

Cool, that'd be great. I've been wanting to see that one for a while now, nearly got it last Christmas but opted for Federer-Safin AO semis 2005 instead

A couple more wildcards decided.


Rob Smeets won the aussie tournament for a wildcard.


Sam Querrey has a USTA wildcard.

I must say that there is almost no chance of Boggo getting a WC. Three wild cards are already going to foreigners (French exchange - undecided, US exchange - Querrey, Asian Champion - Go Soeda). Even Nick Lindahl, who is a very good prospect for the top 100, may not get one.
Kuerten asked for a card but the authorities mentioned that he has almost no chance of getting one, so I doubt that they will give one to some other foreigner.


And yes, the LTA and the AELTC are dumb.

Coria, I believe.
Flip will almost surely get a WC.

Verkerk may not turn up.
No idea about Kiefer, Hrbaty and Gimelstob. They seem to be fit, but not sure if they are match fit.

Stepanek is fully fit. He is training at IMG. Here are a few pics:

You can also see Ms. Cavaday there.





Gimelstob isn't. He withdrew today. Coria won't play either.

So Boggo needs 21 more withdrawals (unless there are people with PR in between Big Dick and him.)


Injury doubts that I know of are -

Srichaphan : Is due to play in Madras but we don't know how fit he is.
Kiefer: Big doubt.... he withdrew from Hopman Cup due to fitness problems.
Hrbaty: He refused surgery before AO (and told that he may have to retire soon) but his results in Adelaide show that he isn't anywhere near his best.
Tipsarevic: Had to retire today. We will get to know more soon as he is due to play Kunitsyn.
Verkerk: Is a doubt ... always.

Edit: Seagull posted the same thing elsewhere.

Philippoussis knackered his knee again at the Hopman Cup. I'd guess that frees up a wildcard place for someone, and it's one less in the list above Alex....

That is bad news.


That could mean that he will miss two months and will be ranked outside the top 130 soon.
Mr. Draper will then identify a "winner" in him and will recommend him for WCs at Queens and Wimbly.

when do players tend to announce grand slam withdrawals??


Will it be this week or next week? Is there deadline after which they will be penalised or fined?
