Men's draw in the books

With no last-minute withdrawals and John Isner failing to earn a Special Exemption spot, No. 25 Feliciano Lopez was not able to get into the main draw of the men's tournament.

The four wild cards went to Ivo Karlovic and Americans Isner, Donald Young and Robby Ginepri.

The most intriguing part of the draw is that Young could draw the top seed in the second round for the second straight year while Isner could face the No. 2 seed in the second round. Young will face Israel's Dudi Sela while Isner will meet Igor Kunitsyn. The winner of Young/Sela will meet Fernando Verdasco in the second round while the 6-foot-9 Isner would meet the 6-foot-10 Karlovic if he survives his first-round test.
