  • #94 (+16) Mischa Zverev (GER) – Has been ranked as high as No. 73 this year, but fresh off a three-victory quarterfinal performance in New Haven, including a win over No. 30 Juan Monaco.

Moving on down:

  • #105 (-9) Diego Junqueira (ARG) - Lost second round at French Open , but hasn't played in any other ATP-level matches since early 2007.
