There are some rumours going around that Vilas invited Mariano and Gaston to take part in the Copa Argentina, which starts on 11 December, Thursday. I hope we have confirmation soon. I know this is only an exhibition, but how long has it been since we checked live scores for one of Mariano's matches? It feels like an eternity!

www.ole.clarin.com/notas/2008/12/13/tenis/01821599.htmlZabaleta se suma Mariano Zabaleta es el elegido por Martín Jaite para su candidatura a la capitanía mixta de la Davis. "No sería ni colaborador, ayudante o consejero: capitán con todas las letras, como Martín", aseguró una fuente cercana al tandilense. Su buena relación con Nalbandian y Del Potro (lo tiene de ídolo) puede ser clave para acercar a los dos últimos. Si los eligen, Jaite sería el que se sentará siempre en la silla. El nuevo cargo de Zabaleta no le impediría seguir su carrera: de hecho, tras un año sabático, el Negro y su amigo Gaudio están concentrados desde hace un par de meses en el operativo regreso. Para el 2009, Zabaleta ya tiene el calendario inicial armado, con cuatro semanas seguidas en challengers. Mientras, los dirigentes de la AAT revelarían la semana próxima el nombre del sucesor de Mancini. Ricardo Rivera y Modesto Vázquez aparecen como los favoritos de la Asociación, mientras que Jaite y Gumy son los que prefieren los jugadores, quienes siguen afirmando que aún no fueron consultados por la Asociación. ___________________________________________________________ Summary of this article: If the new elected DC captain is Martin Jaite (he is one of the favourites for this function), Mariano will join him as captain. The reason to involve Mariano is his good relationship with both, Nalbandian and Del Potro. This new task would not interfere with Mariano's plans to keep his career going. Mariano has already planed the start of next year, playing four weeks in a row challenger tournaments The new DC captain will be announced next week. The favourite of the players are Jaite and Gumy, and the Argentine Tennis Association's favourites are Ricardo Rivera y Modesto Vázquez.

Even if it doesn't happen this time, he will be the capten one day! no? I would love to see a few Tandil guys in the DC team...
By the way, according to "Fue Buena", Mariano's "4 challengers" will be:
San Pablo, Salinas, Iquique y Bucaramanga

Here is the translation of Reiko's article:
Argentine Zabaleta first invited the Challenger Salinas
Salinas (Press) .-
The Argentine tennis player Mariano Zabaleta is the first confirmed guest for the Challenger
Salinas that will be played from 10 to Jan. 17 at the Stadium of cement in the Salinas Yacht Club.
Zabaleta wants to return in force to the circuit after being away for almost Stadium
the entire 2008 season because of an injury that only allowed him to play in the month of January.
"Zabala," as his friends call him, came up the post 21 of the ATP Entry Ranking, 3
April 2000, has won the International Series in Bogota in 1998, and in Bastad
2003 and 2004.
The Argentine returned to Salinas after a disputed Series with Ecuador in Davis Cup
1999, where he lost his two matches of singles in a clash favorable for
Local four games to one
Tennis Pro in Salinas
Mariano Zabaleta is the driver and creator of the television program "Tennis Pro" in which
Ecuador is transmitted by the signal of Fox Sports, which has many followers throughout
South America.
In Salinas not only be Zabaleta but also one of his aides as is the Argentine
Gustavo Marcaccio, which is registered for the event peninsula.
"Tennis Pro" is a program that takes care of showing the other side of the tennis players and the
tournament to which these players go, they do so in a way to inform and very lively.
Gaston Gaudio plan your schedule
The Argentine tennis player Gaston Gaudio, Roland Garros champion in the 2004 season, is
is arming its schedule for the season between 2009 and its plans would play the
Challenger of Salinas.
Gaudio, is about to embark on a new return to the tracks, after the failed attempt this
season where he was only able to address the Challenger of Miami and Vina del Mar tournament.
Away from the tracks by personal problems and injuries, "El Gato", as it is known,
again take the racket and analyzes its 2009 season in which Salinas could be your starting point
boot.
His trainer, Alejandro Lombardo, communicated with the organizers of the Challenger
Salinas asked if there was possibility of a Wild Card (WC) or letter of invitation, the
organization gladly accepted.
Likewise, lack of confirmation of acceptance on the part of the toilet to give Gaudio as
confirmed in the tournament, one of the oldest in South America next to the Challenger of Quito.

The new DC coach is Modesto Vazquez, the favourite of the Argentine Tennis Association. He already was DC coach in the past and will turn 60 in a few days. So, the players's opinion was not taken into account. I totally agree with Reiko, Mariano would be a perfect DC coach and I am sure this was not the last time he was proposed for this task |

Will Mariano ever play another tournament, or did he have a legitimate injury?

Sorry, I guess I got too excited. Well, we live in Houston, Texas and we have a ranch about an hour and a half away so we are going up there with all of my big family to a party to the neighboring ranch, then we are going to do fireworks at our ranch, watch the times square demonstration, and go to sleep late. What about everyone else?

I think it is not a bad idea to start playing on clay instead of hard court. There is no pressure anyway when he starts his season HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE! May it be a healthy, happy and memorable one for all of us! I am doing nothing special tonight, just go to my friend's appartement. We will cook Mexican and then we will see what we are doing. Maybe going in town to watch the fireworks, but right now I am not so motivated to do that, as it is FREEZING outside ( I so dislike that!)! Enjoy tonight everyone |
