Who Will Be Seeded?

As it stands now, the seedings for the 2010 tournament are looking something like this:
1. Max Estenger--three-time defending champion and improving every year
2. Segundo Paredes--two-time runner up, '09 semifinalist; the heart of a champion if not the skills
3. John Zarcone--a semifinalist in '09; will trying to win it for his new baby girl inspire him?
4. Yousaf Khan--a tennis fanatic and junior EBT student who has played more tennis than anyone else these past 12 months. He could be the man to beat by June.
5. Corey McFarlane--a superb athlete trying to translate those skills into tennis success

Then there is the rest of the field: Aponte, Moccia-Field, Desai, Weber, McAndrews, Kollerer, Benson, Rodriguez, Lee, and Carmona. Who has improved? Will last year's 2009 runner-up Jose Carballido return from Colombia to play in June? What about the presence of Phys Ed teacher Joe Marini's new found passion for tennis? Perhaps there is some ex-college tennis player lurking inside GSC who we don't know about....
