He's getting good money for it and basically that's the problem with Gaudio.

What has happened is that they have spent most of the appearance money on Ferrero, Moya, Coria and Nalle and Gaudio isn't happy about it, as he has always played and when the other 2 were off in Europe, he supported the tournament and feels pissed on cause of his lack of standing.

Youch! Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. I'm sure the Buenos Aires fans would rather see/support Gaudio than Ferrero or Moya, really.

That sucks that Gaudio's the one who got pinched

I have posted something in the Gaudio thread about it. That's the reason he is off the Entry List.

The tournament is starting to make some money again, hence they were able to get Ferrero and they lobbied to get Coria and Nalle from not playing in Europe. I mean those two were the ones who got the benefit of funding from the federation, while the others didn't.

I think Gaston will play the tournament, but I mean he almost redeemed himself after what happened in Malaga, but it's a touchy situation.
