Can anyone find the entry list?

I can't but it must be out as its in a couple of weeks.

We had Milton and Cox there last year. I wonder if Cox and Willis will play this year? Maybe Willis and Pauffley in dubs too?

A good run here might secure a  seeding for AO 2008

What's a Grade A? Is it the same as a Grade 1?

don't really know the details but its big! My guess is its like a Master sEries equivalent at ATP. Down from Grand Slam but up from G1.

Grandslams are also grade A's but you get double points for winning it. Otherwise there no difference points wise. SO big chance here for the british lads to get some big points in a weak event.

Really don't want to gossip but d'ya think that withdrawal is anything to do with the crackdown on juniors behaviour and the boys can't pay their own way there?

Very unlikely.

Good thing that they aren't going, actually. It'll be far better if they start playing Futures week in and out now.

They weren't ever going to go-they were entered by mistake.Even though it would have been a good tournament to play,it was too far to go for one week-it would have disrupted their schedules.As Arka said,they'll be concentrating on the Futures until they go to the USA in December.
