Main Draw?

What day is it released, or do we have to wait till sunday night :rolleyes: :D

not any time soon LOL

I heard it was released Wednesday. It was in a UK article i think - not sure.

Slam draws usually come out Thursday or Friday don't they?

Doubt it. Maybe though.

Is there any live coverage of draw!

Well...I don't think so, but i think the draws will appear on the site soonner than qualies draw in Pilot Pen Tennis :D And I've got one more question: could u give me a link to the list of players participating in the main draw this year.(or list them here) I'm crossing my fingers for Domachowska, Peschke and Conchita M. :)))

Wow. I didn't know it was so soon! I hope the draw is kind and Belgian free for Lindsay!

does the main draw release yet???

does the main draw release yet???

It will be available about 12 am-1 pm NY Time (I think they should post it just after the draw ceremony). So in about 3-4 hours we will know everything.

waiting...

3 minutes until it is made. Who knows how long until we get to see it?

Well...it should be updated asap- it's a Grand Slam not a Tier II :D

so exciting!! No williams 4R again.. and Kim as far away from Elena as possible...

if it's done like the wimby draw, they actually should be done with the draws. just waiting for them to put it on the site or for news to leak through

does anybody know how exactly they do the Main Draw? Is it just picking names out of a hat type thing?

Put in the seeded players first and after that, doing the "hat type thing" I guess;) At least that´s how they did it in Wimby as far as I can remember.

im soo sleepy...come on draw..faster

Thanks, i can wait a few more hrs

I hope the draw appears soon on wtatour.com (maybe there's someone waiting in the draw ceremony and giving information to the webmaster? :D:D:D)

This is where the draw will be posted:

http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/ws/index.html

The draw ceremony is being held at the United Nations in NYC right now. I would love to go there and give you a report but security is very tight in that building. Tourists are only allowed to see restricted areas. Guess we just have to wait until an update on usopen.org.

wow its that high security?!

Yes I know but i'm affraid that the draw will be posted faster on the official women's tennis site, than on the official US Open website.

I think that if security is kept in such a big level there should be a live transmition on the special rooms of the building (for ex. on the TV-sets). That's what I think about it :|

1. Maria vs. 8. Serena
3. Mauresmo vs. 6. Lena D
----------------------------
4. Kim vs. 7. Justine
2. Davenport vs. 5. Slvetlana

that the draw or who u want?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Roger Federer will begin the defense of his U.S. Open crown next week against Ivo Minar of the Czech Republic, tournament officials said on Wednesday.

The top seed will be bidding for his sixth grand slam title having won his third consecutive Wimbledon crown last month.

Women's world number one and top seed Maria Sharapova of Russia faces a tough first round match against Eleni Daniilidou of Greece.

Twice former champion Andre Agassi of the United States opens his campaign against Romanian Razvan Sabau.

The U.S. Open will run from Monday until September 11.
