a question for our ranking experts: How come Haas is seeded 24? He wasn't seeded at all before Monfils withdrew, so shouldn't he be the 32nd seed?

Once he got into a seeded position with the Monfils withdraw, they then used the formula to place him (the grass results formula). Since he won Halle last week, and was a semi-finalist at Halle in 2008, he had a huge amount of grass points that gave him a boost, which is why he was 24 instead of 32.
