+ 5 wild cards & 8 qualifiers, the 4 Rome semifinalists will receive 1st round byes

[Tndfpcin]

So far Nalby hasn't officially withdrawn. I think Serena will be the number two seed here but I'm not sure.

[altosburg]

Is Vera actually playing?

[aLZ9zKsO]

Is Vera actually playing?

I don't think she will play.

[Tndfpcin]

I doubt she's playing. This is more of a ranking list than anything else. Heaven forbid a real WTA entry list would be available.

ETA: The official site still lists Bepa.

[Ikhqgvas]

Could someone explain to me how the 4 Rome SFists will get a bye? Just stick a bye in the draw no matter where they are in the draw?

[FelixQY]

Madrid have a Saturday start while the Rome semifinals are Friday so therefore the byes. First round for the WTA is Saturday and Sunday.

So by "bye" they are meaning essentially a day of rest/starting Madrid a day "late"???

[Tndfpcin]

To absolutey no one's surprise:

Marca WC: Marcel Granollers

[aLZ9zKsO]

To absolutey no one's surprise:

Marca WC: Marcel Granollers

Did you vote? ( I know he won by a hugeeeeeeeeeee margin)

[Tndfpcin]

Not this year.

[EmxATW5m]

I voted for Granollers. Peer pressure.

[PyncGyncliacy]

Did you vote? ( I know he won by a hugeeeeeeeeeee margin)

He was the only Spaniard. I voted for Santoro.

The Rome SFs first match in Madrid is in the 2nd round.

[Tndfpcin]

Rafael Nadal is no longer listed as a player at Madrid on the official site.

[Tndfpcin]

After showing first Roger, then Novak and back to Roger Rafa is now back on the players list. Someone had fun this morning.

[anderriter]

Rafael Nadal is no longer listed as a player at Madrid on the official site.

http://www.madrid-open.com/site/jugadores/5#

Haha, wow.

And if you look at the list of players now, you see that they are all trying to copy the master by becoming left-handed!

[TypeTeasiaDer]

Haha, wow.

And if you look at the list of players now, you see that they are all trying to copy the master by becoming left-handed!

Whatever works. Isn't this just the shake up to his game that everyone has been saying Roger needs?
