Nalbi jest 45, więc zagra w turnieju głównym US Open? Czy też zgłoszenia już minęły?

Minęły, ale i tak zagra. W liście USO, opublikowanej przed 3 tygodniami, Argentyńczyk korzystał z "rankingu chronionego" (PR).

Gonzalez Awarded New Haven Wild Card

Local Stars Marc Powers And Nolan Paige Receive Main Draw Doubles Wild Card

Former Top 10 star Fernando Gonzalez has been granted a wild card into Pilot Pen Tennis at Yale, an Olympus US Open Series event on the ATP World Tour and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, to be held August 20-28 at the Connecticut Tennis Center at Yale, it was announced today by Anne Worcester, tournament director.

Gonzalez, who for the last five years has been in the Top 15 of the South African Airways ATP Rankings, has 11 career titles on the ATP World Tour, and has won two Olympic medals. In 2004, he and countryman Nicolas Massu captured the gold medal in doubles at the Athens Olympics, and in 2008 he won the silver medal in singles at the Beijing Olympics. The hard serving Chilean, who reached the finals of the 2007 Australian Open, has suffered from patellar tendonitis the last few months and is returning for his first tournament since the French Open. Earlier this year he reached the semifinals of two events at Santiago, Chile and Acapulco. In March, he skipped the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells in order to visit areas in his home country that were devastated by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake. This will be his second trip to the Pilot Pen.

“Our wildcards this year have been sensational thus far,” said Worcester. “Adding Gonzalez, who has top 10 talent, to James Blake, Ana Ivanovic Samantha Stosur and Elena Dementieva is exactly what we were looking for to strengthen our fields. Our fans are once again going to see some of the biggest stars in the game, in an intimate atmosphere, all for an affordable price.”

In addition to the singles wild cards awarded today, local stars Marc Powers of Stamford and Nolan Paige of Fairfield were granted a wildcard into the doubles main draw. Powers, who won the Yale Open last year and received a wildcard into singles qualifying, is the No. 1 singles player at Yale and won Ivy League Player of the Year and Ivy League Freshmen of the Year this season. It was the first time a player ever won both awards in the same year. Paige, a junior at the Hopkins School in New Haven, Connecticut, is the No. 1 ranked player in the USTA boys’ 16-year old age division.

The Pilot Pen still has two men’s main draw wild cards, one women’s main draw wild card and three qualifying draw wildcards to distribute. There are also four spots in both main draws for advancing qualifiers.

Zastanawiam się czy to dobre posunięcie u Fisha aby grać drugi tydzień z rzędu, a potem jeszcze w USO. Obu to się dla niego dobrze zakończyło... Przy takiej formie to półfinał ma murowany tylko jak jego zdrowie to wytrzyma...

Czuję w kościach, że będzie aut. Jak nie przed turniejem to w jednej z pierwszych rund.

Słaba obsada. Davydenko i Verdasco to jednak były nazwiska jak na NH.

Fish OUT
Starace IN

Nastąpiły małe rpzetasowania w drabince. Stepanek wejdzie do grona rozstawionych jako nr 17. Co ciekawe Czech przedzierał się tutaj przez kwalifikacje, znakomicie obsadzone zresztą. W przedbiegach odpadli m.in Mathieu, Monaco czy Brown.

Go James!

Świetna informacja. Być może to przedostatni turniej Jamesa w karierze, więc trzeba będzie być świadkiem takiego czegoś.

Kubot przegrał z Brandsem. Bidę klepie od kilku miesięcy, że głowa mała.

60 61 James

Radek wykorzystał swoje szczęśliwe wejście do MD i pokonał Cuevasa.

W drugiej rundzie, zagra z Gonzem.

Ciekawa para, jak na drugą rundę takiego turnieju.

Wygrał Young. Amerykanin rozegrał bardzo dobre spotkanie, był skuteczny, nie popełniał błędów, zmuszał rywala do biegania - tyle wystarczyło, by wygrać z Robertem. Tym samym Daniel umacnia się w top100
