The biggest scrub event of the year!

Here are my predicted qualifiers...anyone else have predictions?

ATP Qualifying Draw - Singles

  • Amer Delic USA
  • Kevin Anderson RSA
  • Xavier Malisse BEL (though Guccione is tough on grass)
  • Kristian Pless DEN (very soft section)
  • Ryan Sweeting USA (another really soft section)
  • Alexandre Sidorenko FRA (30)
  • Ilia Bozoljac SRB (7) (really tough section, hope Ilia defends his R2 points...)
  • Alex Bogomolov Jr. USA (unpredictable, weird section)
  • Lukas Rosol CZE (22) (Rosol is really overdue for a breakout)
  • Dominik Hrbaty SVK (31)
  • Olivier Rochus BEL (17) (O. Rochus vs. T. Dent is an absurd QR1 matchup)
  • Izak Van Der Merwe RSA
  • Olivier Patience FRA (26) (Easy draw for him)
  • Luka Gregorc SLO (I just hope Devvarman sucks on grass...)
  • Prakash Amritraj IND (28) (Good grass courter, nice Newport run last year)
  • Jesse Levine USA (16) (His game isn't built for grass at all, but he's way better than the rest of this section).
My thoughts (none of which will come true...)

-I like Delic, too
-Anderson, though I'd be very unsurprised if Beck made it.
-I think Guccione will serve his way through.
-Karanusic (4)... this section is terrible.
-Machado (5) should be able to beat the Lacko/Sweeting winner. In any case, the qualifier will come out of those three.
-I like Sidorenko (30) here, too.
-I'm going with Chiudinelli here, but Bozoljac (7) could just as well come through. Somehow I doubt Donald Young will be the one.
-Hoping for Scoville Jenkins here, but am thinking that Tomic might find a way through (if he gets by Bogomolov, that is...)
-Definitely one of the two seeds will get through here. I seem to recall Udomchoke (9) having a good grass game, so I guess I favor him slightly over Rosol (22).
-Brands (10). Sorry, Dominik.
-I'm think the Dent/O. Rochus (17) winner comes out the victor in this section. Leaning toward Dent.
-Go Izak van der Merwe! (I'd also like him to, at some point, play doubles with Jesse Huta Galung. Great great names.)
-Patience (26) should get through.
-Don't know much about Gregorc, sorry, so leaning toward Lisnard.
-Kubot (15) of Kubot-Marach
-Levine (16) might have trouble against Groth, but as long as he gets through that match, I like him for the spot.
