ARG players: Gaudio,Acasuso,Nalbandian,Coria, etc

Vamos Gastón. I know you can win the ATP Buenos Aires!!!!!
I really hope he wins this tournament.
His victory in Viña del Mar felt great!!

It´s better not to give any opinion about Coria´s and Nalbandian´s performance in Marseille ;D ;D ;D. Seriously, I hope they´ll do it better in future tournaments, and I know they will

BTW, it was known by the press that there were some conversations with people around Marat asking them if he would be interested in playing at the ATP Buenos Aires this year (same conversation existed in 2004). There was not even a chance, as he made it sooo good winning the Australian Open. That gives me a sad idea: If we want to watch Marat playing in BA, he may do it really bad in AO. Anyway, I prefer he wins the next years in Melbourne.

Pobres Españoles!! Los argentinos los aplastaron!!

Poor spaniards!!! Feel sorry for em... Specially for C. Moya, he's one of my favourites, but go Argentina!!!

[Mariel]

I started to loose faith in Coria when he lost RG in that strange way You fool!!!!

I think Guille's doing good after his surgery. But he's too small when compare with other guys. OK, last year he did so well in the first half, after that looked like he lost his energy. He should train for more muscle, so he can stay longer.

Gastón Gaudio won his second title in a row!!!! ;D ;D He´s deffinitely one of the best in clay!

Guillermo Vilas and Gabriela Sabatini were there. All the argentine Grand Slam champions in the central court of the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club!!! That´s what I call a great evening

Gaudio won´t play in Costa do Sauripe (Brazil) and probably won´t play in Mexico too, he´s injured (pubalgia, don´t know how it´s said in english). I hope he enjoys his time off and we´ll see him in Davis Cup
in Buenos Aires!!
As far as it is known by the press, the argentine team will be great, a real dream team: Coria, Gaudio, Nalbandian and Cañas!! I hope no one gets hurt

Yes, that´s true.
It´s a long story, but they are just different generations, different personal stories, different personalities, they recieved different suport from the Asociación Argentina de Tenis, etc.
Gaudio, Cañas, Chela, Zabaleta and many others more made their careers with a lot of personal and familiar sacrifice.
And on the other hand Coria, Nalbandian, and others not so well known, recieved more help (this doesn´t mean they haven´t done any sacrifice). That is one of the most important difference between them. But, I think that is a result of the particular argentine economy.
Anyway, it´s true what you say. It will allways exist an eternal confrontation between Gaudio and Coria
(I will allways prefer Gaudio, because of his charisma and personality. I enjoy temperamental players oncourt

[pau]

I don't like Gaudio neither Coria, of course, this is only my humble oppinion, my fav argentinian player is Nalbandian, he is such a good player, but they don't give him suchs importance as they give it to Coria or Gaudio, I think he is a very complete player he can play awesome in all surfaces, as you can see I like him very much. ;D ;D

[lau]

I like David too. What happends is that he does it very well in all tournaments but he doesn´t win titles. I think his last one was in 2002 (not sure about this). That´s why he is not given the importance he deserves. He´s a great player and I think he has got a great future.
It can be a difficult year for him. His father died recently and I think this can influence his game.

[Mariel]

His father died??!!! oh those are sad news!!! I like David a lot, I think he's one of the most complete players, but has some problems at the finals of the tournaments... Always loses at the finals!!! Maybe he's afraid of winning... who knows. But still I like him very much.

[SAFINNO1]

I agree i think that David is a awesome player on all surfaces but if he cant win a major tournamet then he will be nothing except for a pro tennis player.
He needs to make the step up this season.

[lau]

Stepanek defeated David 6-2, 4-6 y 6-1 in the first round match in Rotterdam .
This is what I was talking about.... I hope this will be a good year for him. This was not a nice beginning....

[Mariel]

Not nice at all!!!
Vamos David!!!! Te queremos!!!

[lau]

P. Srichaphan(THA) d. G. Coria(ARG) 2-6 - 7-6(2) - 6-3 (second round match)
Not a good week at all....

Maybe in Costa do Sauripe we´ll have good news.

The argentine Davis Cup team confirmed: Guillermo Coria (5°), Gastón Gaudio (8°), David Nalbandian (10°) y Guillermo Cañas (12°)(ATP entry ranking) . The first two would play the singles, Nalbandian and Cañas, the doubles.
