Rios said that he didn't care what Nastase thought.

China? LOL. She has a Costa Rican mother and a Chilean father. CHI is Chile, so maybe that's where the confusion came from.

Rios was called Chino, don't think he liked it so much. Coria said his tennis heroes were Agassi and Rios.

Never became serious I guess, totally in line with Rios' carreer I guess

Arazi was a special talent and he was also a very nice guy, very friendly with fans and media and other players, unlike Rios. Arazi and Rios also got along well, saw them play a practice at the US Open once and it was a show of trick shots and they both were having a good time. Of course they played that big match at the French Open one year, one of thebest matches Guillermo Vilas ever saw at Roland Garros. Read somewhere that Vilas was at that match and really enjoyed it.
