SLAMS have a draw of 128 players. Major tournaments are given a draw of 96.
The top ranked 104 players are offered direct entry into the tourney.
In addition to the total of 104 men who received direct entry into the field based on Monday's rankings, eight will get wild cards [allotted by the USTA with some trading with other Slam tournaments] and 16 will earn berths in Aug. 25-28 qualifying.
As an example of the trading between Slam tournaments, the Oz may give Donald Young a wild-card if the US OPEN gives Chris Guccione [Aus] a wild card into the US OPEN.
