thanks for this, I bought 6 tickets for me and my family for the QF in 11th. Even though I'd like to see Thiem holding finally his first GS trophy would be nice to see him live once again

Yeah, no problem. By the way, this is mostly a joke post, I wouldn't read into this as the gospel or anything. This is the entry list, though, so the assumption would be that these folks will go since they lost at the USO.

All in all a really surprising list through day 4. I expected far more upsets than we got. Kitzbuhel might be a bit leaner than expected at the top of the ATP ladder.
