Odesnik not Spadea gets into draw

My assumption that Vince Spadea as the top seed in qualifying would earn the spot in the main draw when the final Special Exemption position was not filled was incorrect.

Wayne Odesnik, who reached the third round of the French Open, earned the spot. Odesnik, currently ranked 119th, will face veteran Frenchman Sebastien Grosjean in the first round for the right to face No. 8 seed Mardy Fish in the second round.

Spadea is currently play Justin Natale in qualifying and after losing the first set in a tiebreaker is up a break in the second set.
