PanARMENIAN.Net - Winston-Salem Open officials awarded their final wild-card spot to David Nalbandian on Friday, August 17 morning, tournament director Bill Oakes announced.

He will join three previously announced wild cards in the ATP 250 tournament — Ryan Harrison, James Blake and Tomas Berdych.

Nalbandian, No. 39 in the latest ATP rankings, replaces Gael Monfils, who initially accepted a wild card but withdrew Thursday as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

Nalbandian, 30, from Argentina, was the 2002 runner-up at Wimbledon and has been ranked as high as No. 3 in the world, in 2006. He has won 11 career ATP World Tour singles titles and has reached the final of 12 other tournaments.

The Winston-Salem Open at Wake Forest will start Saturday, with play in the qualifying tournament. Play in the main draw will start Sunday, Winston-Salem Journal reported.
