It's a shame that Baker isn't going for Burnie. The cut is so low that he would be seeded. He'll play in Dallas.
Goodall is heading to Dallas. Mackin is in the alts. for Dallas, but I am pretty sure that he'll be in the alts. for Wroclaw, too.



Look at the alts. list for Burnie and enjoy a good laugh:

Thanks for that list Arka It'll be interesting to see where Mackin heads, looks like he's going to be doing quite a bit of globetrotting over the next few weeks - possibly playing in Durban next week then Dallas or here. Indoor hard is the surface where he's had most success so it would make sense to play Wrexham and then Wroclaw qualies but Mike reckons that outdoor hard will be his best surface so maybe he'll play Durban and then join Boggo in the States playing challenger and possibly a couple of ATP qualies.

Shame that Jamie Baker isn't heading down under again, he had so much success there in Feb-March last year, made the quarters in Burnie before losing a close one to Healey. The US challengers are very, very tough and Jamie's got a lot to defend over the next few months so he's going to need to up his game. It's been a good start to the year so hopefully that continues.

Looks like Richard will head to Bergamo

Now there's something worth going through qualifiers for!

How many seeds are there? Alex is lying at no 8.

Jonny wont be at wroclaw challenger qualies, he expects to make a return around the time of the Cherbourg challenger (Week 9), but may play a futures the week before.

Its a '32 Draw' so there are 8 seeds.

I think you will find Alex is currently lying 11th based on Rule 6.16 -

"The selection and arrangement of seeds shall be based upon the most recent INDESIT ATP Entry Ranking List "

By the way Bloomers has now made the main draw here and withdrawn Bergamo where he was still Alt. Besides he wouldn't meet 'Nat' in Italy.

Oh dear.

Is he still injured or does he simply lack match fitness?

Still injured, hasnt picked up a racket yet, but hopes to start again next week.

He has still been able to run and so on, so shouldnt be unfit, just cant lift his arm above his shoulder without it hurting so not much good for tennis!
