Casablanca ATP 250
Top Seeds: Stanislas Wawrinka (above), Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, Victor Hanescu, Lukasz Kubot, Paul-Henri Mathieu ('07 champ) and Olivier Rochus. Also in the field is Richard Gasquet - remember when he was suppose to be the next big thing?
Houston ATP 250
Top Seeds: Fernando Gonzalez ('00 champ), John Isner, Sam Querrey, Lleyton Hewitt (defending champ), Evgeny Korolev. Other notable players include a motley slew of Americans: Donald Young, Taylor Dent, Mardy Fish, Michael Russell, Rajeev Ram, Wayne Odesnik and Jesse Levine.

It must suck hosting a tournament week after a Masters 1000 (or two) has been played as not a single top 10 player (only 1 in the top 20 actually) is in action this week. Fernando Gonzalez is the highest ranked at #11 - playing in Houston. I suspect he's playing only because he skipped Indian Wells to tend to earthquake relief matters at home in Chile.
