The number of entrants, according to the tournament clock, is now up to 173 and counting. There is still a ways to go if this year is to surpass 2010 numbers, which drew 268 players. Speaking of last year, the defending champ, Valdemar Kwaysser, is in today's field. Kwaysser was one of two Hungarians to win a bracelet last year, and he is no doubt looking to go back-to-back with a title defense.
