Hope those two haven't fallen out over the Olympics.

Slabinsky is out of Italy - now playing the $10k in the Netherlands with Oli

Broady out of Canada F6 due to getting mumps. His participation in US open juniors must be in doubt.

It is possible that Oli turned down a qualifying wild card, prefering to try and build up points on the futures tour.

Thanks, seems wierd that you'd turn down a chance to be part of a GS, although I guess maybe cost was prohibative. I think that he never went Stateside this year.

Maybe more to do with the fact that he wants to get back to his best form playing futures.

I suppose the thinking goes something like this. Considerable cost (flights, hotels, etc) and unless you get a really nice draw probably a first round defeat so not really worth missing one and realistically two* futures events for.

* I doubt he would have played a clay court futures in Belgium this week (potentially lasting till Sat) if he was going to play US Open qualies.
