Already two LL’s (Copil, Gulbis) added to replace Kohlie and Albot.

Yeah, they moved Kohlie to another section and Albot disappeared after earning a SE with his SF at Sofia. Shapo also was shifted from the original draw that would have placed him where Copil and Gulbis are now. RBA withdrew early enough to make Basilashvili a “ #9” seed. Shapo is now a “ #10” seed after Pouille dropped out.

There's only one SE available in Rotterdam and it went to Herbert (best ranked amongst the ones who made SF this week). Albot was never in the draw. ;) And Kohlschreiber is still playing Raonic like in the original draw... Shapo was shifted because he is a seed now.

Trust me, I saw his name on the drawsheet on Saturday at the ATP/WTA site. Herbert may have decided to exercise his SE status later on to short circuit his participation.

^^^Also, @Walle , Herbert would not have needed SE if he hadn’t changed his plans and accept Rotterdam. His YE 2018 ranking was higher than the last DA (Kukushkin at #55; PHH finished #44, well within DA for Rotterdam).

That's not how it works. Also: Berrettini also would have gotten the SE spot before Albot (and he would have loved to take it, just check his Instagram). I don't know which draw you saw but this is the original one. ;)

Edit: Herbert's year end ranking was #55, not #44, two places behind Kukushkin. If RBA and Pouille had withdrawn ealier he would have been the last one to get in but they didn't so Kukushkin was the last direct entry.

Apparently people that are paid for producing data at the ATP/WTA app I read are as confused and spread that to their subscribers. I remember distinctly reading their draw and seeing there was a chance that Gulbis could have drawn a rematch with Albot at Rotterdam if he qualified and the draw “gods” cooperated in the 1 of 4 chances for placement there. This was immediately after he cruised vs Staks in 1R qualies.

I also don’t understand how Herbert would be #55 on the list. He finished 2018 at #44...look at any YE list and Rotterdam’s list has to be based on a 6-weeks out results, long before the first week of 2019 results (Doha QF for PHH). Is it four weeks out? It shouldn’t affect a net difference anyway as he made Pune’18 QFs in the same calendar week.

OK, found the glitch...my search asked for 2018 YE results and the page response was 2019 (obviously not YE). Herbert did wind up #55, two spots below last DA (Kukushkin).

Albot is in NY Open main draw so the ATP/WTA site was totally inaccurate. Sorry for all the confusion @Walle . The most important thing is The Lord has prevailed, again in His mysterious ways, and he plays Copil with a possible rematch with Kei and redemption for the Big Slip at SW19.

Stanimal won 9 of the last 11 games including the TB, from 4-5 down two set points on Benoit’s serve to 7-6(4) 6-1.

Raonic or Kohlie next on Wednesday or Thursday.

Basilashvilli sucking right now. Serve is dismal. Up a break in the first set and lost it 6/4 and now down 2/0 in the 2nd.

Basi managed to get up a break and then immediately lost his own serve again. He's only at 43% on first serve. Shaky all around right now.

Chung is still a ways off getting back to where he was, although the courts suit Basilashvilli and Basilashvilli is playing high standard tennis.

He's hit some great shots but a ton of UO and sub par serving too. I've watched him several times and I think this is the worst I've seen him play, especially 1st two sets.

Gael Monfils has solved tennis

Returns 2 handed, only single handed backhands after that.

Wish he'd made the switch before his early 30s though
