BARCELONA UPDATE
Three Top 10 Head the Open SEAT Godó Entry List
Three top-10 and six former champions head the Entry List for the Open SEAT Godó 2004. The list was announced Thursday during an official ceremony which took place at the Moll dels Pescadors in Barcelona.
Argentines Guillermo Coria (4) and David Nalbandian (8) as well as Spain's Carlos Moya (7) top the list, which includes a total of 15 Spaniards. Juan Carlos Ferrero is not included, but he has asked the organisation for a wild card in the event that he decides to play in Barcelona one week before the start of the event. Another wild card was announced for Alex Corretja.
"The European clay court season is one week shorter this year, and the calendar is tight", explained Sixte Cambra, the Tournament Director. "Valencia, Monte-Carlo, Barcelona, Rome and Hamburg are in consecutive weeks, and Juan Carlos Ferrero is not included into the Entry List. But he asked us for a wild-card because he will decide about playing in Barcelona one week before the beginning of the tournament".
