City: Bucharest, Romania
Surface: Outdoor Clay
Championship Points: 250
2008 Singles Champion: Gilles Simon
2008 Doubles Champions: Nicolas Devilder and Paul-Henri Mathieu
Two-time defending champion, Gilles Simon will not defend his title this year. His knee injury has forced him out of Davis Cup and now this title.
Hometown favorite, Victor Hanescu earns top-seed honors and will be the one to beat. He will enjoy audience support and will have the incentive of not letting them down. Nicolas Almagro, Juan Monaco and Igor Andreev will be on hand to mix it up with Hanescu.
As the season winds down, it is harder to tell the clear favorites, as injuries and just burnout become the tale of the end of the season. We shall see who steps up this week in Bucharest.
