He can't. You have to have not played a match for a minimum of six months before even being eligible to apply. Haas last played in May, unlike JMDP, who hasn't played since February.

Ah, sorry thought he'd been out longer by now. Hopefully the old guy has more brain cells than the younger guy in any case! Gonna be hard enough coming back at almost 37 let alone starting from a greatly lowered ranking. Needs to be clever and apply right away once eligible.

Andy Murray
Stand up to Cancer
Every day in the UK more than 900 people are told that they have cancer. With numbers like that, it’s no wonder that they say cancer touches everybody’s lives at some point. In the last couple of years, I’ve discovered just how true that is.
At the end of 2012, one of my best friends, Ross Hutchins, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer which starts in the lymph nodes, which is part of our immune system. Ross and I had grown up together on the tennis circuit, and his diagnosis was devastating.
Ross was treated with chemotherapy at the Royal Marsden Hospital. Thankfully in July the following year his cancer went into remission, and he continues to be fit and well to this day.
That Ross is still alive is testimony to the crucial advances we’ve made in cancer treatment thanks to ground-breaking research into the illness. Someone diagnosed with cancer is now twice as likely to survive the disease as they would have been 40 years ago.
But not everyone is so lucky. At the beginning of this year another friend of mine from this country’s tennis family received some bad news. Elena Baltacha, the former British number one, was diagnosed with cancer of the liver. She died in May, at the age of 30.
Elena was a wonderful person, someone I knew well from our time playing as kids in Scotland, and someone to whom my mother was particularly close. Her death is a tragedy to all those who knew her, and to the wider tennis community.
In 2012, Stand Up To Cancer raised a phenomenal £8 million, which helped to finance 12 clinical trials in this country. It goes without saying that the more money we raise, the more research we can fund and the more lives we could save. As such, and given what happened to Ross and Elena, I had absolutely no hesitation in saying yes to the opportunity to take part.
The film shoot was a brilliant experience. The idea is that Richard Ayoade is directing a biopic of my life, and he and I are auditioning a somewhat oddball assortment of personalities to cast someone to play me. Among those after the role are Cesc Fabregas, Terry Wogan, Dara O’Briain, Rory McIlroy, Michael Sheen and Tim Henman.
All I’m prepared to reveal at this stage is that it was a huge amount of fun, although keeping a straight face wasn’t always easy. Hopefully people will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. Let’s hope it’s a brilliant night, and it raises a ton of cash in the ongoing fight against cancer.

RE: General tennis news
The Dusseldroff Tournament has been cancelled due to lack of sponsors. This used to be a team tournament for a long time and was recently changed to a regular ATP 250 tourney. The tournament never attracted high quality players due to it being in the week before RG.
There is already a tourney in Nice, France the week before RG. So, I don't think Dusseldroff will
be replaced by something else. Most probably, Nice will increase its draw size from 32 to 48.
With the collapse of Dusseldroff, all the Grandslams (except for AO) will have just one tourneybeing held the week before it; Nice before RG, Nottingham before Wimby and Winston-Salem before USO. Only AO, has two tourneys, Sydney and Auckland, the week before it. That will probably continue as there is more demand for practice by players at the beginning of an year after a eight week long break.
