Special Exempt and draw
If the main draw is to be made before a potential special exempt player plays on
Friday, then such place(s) shall be drawn in the same manner as qualifier, i.e.,
four qualifiers (“Q”) and one or two “SE” depending on whether there are one or
two possibilities. Each of the five or six slots are marked “Q/SE.” As soon as the
“SE” match results are known, either the “SE” or the next direct acceptance (if the
SE lost) is randomly drawn and inserted into the draw.
NOTE: Once a player has become eligible for Special Exempt consideration, he
must confirm to the Supervisor or Player Relations staff no later than one (1) hour
following the completion of the match that qualified him for a Special Exempt, that
he is applying for the Special Exempt position.

I) If there are not sufficient special exempt places in the draw for applicants, the
players shall be selected according to their position on the most recent Emirates
ATP Rankings list issued prior to the tournament or by their protected ranking,
as long as their protected ranking would not have qualified them as a direct acceptance
had they entered. If their protected ranking would have placed them in
the main draw had they entered, then the protected ranking cannot be used to
determine a player’s position on the special exempt l
