It's a minor tournament; many of the participants are Americans who have absolutely no chance to win the big Euro-clay court tournaments. For players like Roddick and Agassi, it's a nice chance for a win.
Why would Federer, who can play on clay with the best, go to the US to play in this 3rd tier event when he has the chance-but not to say that he WILL-to win every clay tournament being played.
