Cudos to Nicolas Almagro

[Gugafan]

No 11 in the world, and I'm pretty sure he was top 10 earlier in the year. Really surprised me how well he has played on hard courts this year. I think it was earlier in the year at IW where he completely dismantled Berdych. Only problem is movement and defense in comparison to the top 4.

I really like that video... it's fun to see a pro rallying at high intensity.

you know who is the other guy in the video hitting?

Almagro is hombre intenso.

His game is not that effective against the top players on hard court. He's mostly a clay court player. Love watching his game though, he always gives you a good show. Combines classic form with a fiery attitude.

They do, but for some reason they're hard to find. They used to be my favorite snack bar.

Then they changed the chocolate chip bar. I remember back in the day the whole bar was covered in chocolate, now it's just the bottom part and it's just not the same anymore.
