He won, he won, he won Congratulation Mariano I thought yesterday's match was bad, but today was not much better, ahh, those close matches, they are killing me Mariano is such a fighter, this is amazing. He now was twice so close from winning the first set, which must be so disappointing, but he manages to put this disappointment away immediately and to start the second set with breaking the opponent's serve. This shows that his confidence is here. Good luck for the semifinal Vamos |

www.prensatenis.cl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2984:mariano-zabaleta-reacciono-a-tiempo-y-se-metio-en-semifinales-del-providencia&catid=77:noticias-cachantun-cup-2009&Itemid=77El tenista argentino mantiene viva su ilusión de volver a levantar una copa tras vencer en tres parciales al brasileño Julio Silva, por lo que está en la ronda de los cuatro mejores donde se medirá al verdugo de Aguilar, el brasileño Caio ZampieriEran tres los exponentes argentinos con un curriculum impresionante que se presentaron en el Challenger de Providencia Copa Cachantun 2009, y uno de ellos mantiene viva su ilusión de volver alevantar una copa. Se trata de Mariano Zabaleta (1.372º), ex top 25 del planeta, quien mantiene su buen ritmo y esta vez derrotó por 3-6, 7-6 (2) y xx al brasileño Julio Silva (285º) con lo que se metió por primera vez en semifinales desde abril de 2007, cuando ganó el título en el Challenger de Bermuda. El inicio fue todo para el brasileño quien aprovechó su gran velocidad para aguantar los tiros del trasandino, que no tuvo la regularidad suficiente para aguantar y terminó cediendo con un quiebre. En el segundo estuvo colgando de un hilo pero a medida que se acercaron los games clave fue alzando su precisión y agresividad, y así tomó el mando con el tenis que alguna vez lo tuvo entre los mejores del planeta, y ganó el desempate con autoridad. El tercer parcial ya tuvo la mejor cara de Zabaleta, que se llenó de tiros ganadores y logró el quiebre decisivo en el noveno game para luego cerrar con categoría su servicio y alzarse victorioso. Su siguiente rival será el brasileño Caio Zampieri (255º), verdugo de Jorge Aguilar, para seguir ilusionando al público local, quien llegó en buen número para presenciar al jugador que se ha convertido en el favorito de la gente. La otra semifinal la disputarán el sólido brasileño Franco Ferreiro (171º), quinto sembrado, quien en una actuación redonda barrió por un doble 6-2 al argentino Sergio Roitman (103º), y el trasandino Máximo González (96º), segundo favorito, que dejó fuera a su compatriota Diego Álvarez (283º) por 6-4 y 7-6 (4), mostrando quizás el mejor tenis hasta el momento del torneo. En dobles terminó por sellarse la despedida de los chilenos ya que Jorge Aguilar y Felipe Parada cayeron por 3-6, 6-2 y 10-7 ante la mejor pareja del torneo de los argentinos Sebastián Prieto y Horacio Zeballos.

The first Tandilense, Gonzalez, won (7-5 in the third after having been down 2-5, great fight!), so hopefully the second one will join him to the final. We want a Tandil-final VAMOS MARIANO!!!!! |

Zampieri played at the end of last year a lot of the Brazilian Futures as one of the top seeds mainly, and he is currently in a good shape.
