Is this on hard court like the previous Mexican Challengers?

These were (are) all HC Mexican Futures...one in Cancun, two in Merida and one this week in Mazatlan.

[NLBwell]

Yes, I miswrote. But are all of them on hardcourt?

The future looks bright for Canadian Tennis

filip will be playing qualies in a couple of futures in florida in the next weeks, then davis cup

USA F1- Plantations, FL
http://itftennis.com/procircuit/tour...tid=1100028276

USA F2 - Sunrise, FL
http://itftennis.com/procircuit/tour...tid=1100028277

Ginepri is in the draw of Sunrise, actually

[stringertom]

So he is only one spot out of direct acceptance...that's a shame if no one pulls out bcoz it's probably a 128-draw for the qualies and that means four matches to get in main draw.

Let's just call Filip by his correct name for now. Wait until he gets to the the regular ATP circuit, Then the name game can begin on this board.

Based on his twitter feed, he got into the main draw. Click here.

Go Filip!

[stringertom]

Thanks, Jay! That's a good break for him...hope he takes advantge of it and gains some rankings points for the rest of the schedule. If he stays in the draw past the qualie draw date for F2, he'll get a SE there.

[Russeljones]

Great thread.

Filip I wish you all the best for 2013!

Filip lost a tight first-round match @F1 Plantation...7-5 in the third.

Good luck in the next event...we're still with you, bud!

I arrived at the Veltri Tennis Center in time to watch the 3rd set. Filip got an early break and looked in control until he served at 4-3. His serve left him and he DF'd 4 times in that game to go back on serve. When he served at 5-6 he DF'd two more times including at match point. I was sorry to see him lose. He's got a really good 1st serve and an aggressive forehand. I hope to be able to see him play at the Weston and Sunrise Futures too. Despite the disappointment on court he managed his emotions very well. Tennis is tough.

[thejackal]

didnt see the score till now. filip said he choked and wasnt too happy obviously but this stuff happens. he told me his coaches had him make some technical adjustments on his serve over the holidays, so a few hiccups is normal in the first real match of the yr. F2 in sunrise up next

[thejackal]

filip won 4 matches in qualies to get to main draw, gets taro daniel as a first round opponent tomorrow. will be a tough match

Would be a huge win bcoz that should get him a SE spot in the main draw for the next event. Go Filip!
