I have been very busy these past few days, so I couldn't attend the ATP Uruguay Open. Hopefully I can attend the WTA Montevideo Open.

With their second Grand Slam doubles title, Cabal/Farah are unofficial candidates to best Colombian sports competitor of the year. But it's hard to miss the multiple cyclists.
