Mountain Climbing 2009! ClubHouse - Santiago

[Jelena]

According to the quali draw Mariano lost 3-6, 0-6.

[Corina2605]

Thanks for finding the result Jelena.

Brzezicki had one very easy match (first round he had a bye) while M had two very close three sets matches on the weekend. I think it is understandable the other guy was in a better physical shape today. But it was still a positive tournament, especially yesterday's win

[Greg]

Hello Friends!

Mariano got a qualifying wild card into the Copa Telmex and is playing Olivier Patience.

[Corina2605]

Thanks Greg.

Mariano plays the last match today on centre court. I am sure he will be supported by all his family and friends. Good luck

Congrats to team Argentina on their win I just loved THAT team

I think DC is just before Bastad, so that will be a bit difficult for me to attend, but of course I am interested in DC trips in Europe

Good luck to Mariano in Chile, it is always so nice to see your name in draws
