Feliciano Lopez to become Madrid Tournament Director after next year. Will be assistant next year to Manolo Santana, who becomes honorary Life President after 2018. Guessing 2018 Lopez’ final year playing.

So Rafa gets Barcelona and Lopez gets Madrid, LOL

Nice title. Thought the WTA was gaining an athlete.

A Fedfan has created yet another imaginary story (quoted above).

The new director & the current director:

 

[hotasice]

Hard to believe he has been pro basically as long as Fed. Awesome career......him leaving leaves us fans with one less player who knows how to volley to enjoy watching.

Feliciano Lopez to take over as tournament director of Mutua Madrid Open in 2019. Follows path of Tommy Haas, tournament director in Indian Wells at BNP Paribas Open while still active player.

I remember Lopez playing Agassi wayyyy back in the day…fist time i saw Lopez I believe. I don't remember who won but I remember it was a hard fought match and Agassi dubbed Feliciano ''Live Arm Lopez'' and he was kind of annoyed with his coach (I think it was Cahill at the time) for not scouting him better.

Dude was serving bombs and coming to net a lot even then.

Judy Murray is not happy

She was hoping Feli would take the job at Glasgow Tennis Academy

Shouldn't the clay be blue?

does Fed have to lose to him this year?

 

[ibbi]

What happened to Tiriac?

Anyway, will be sad to see Feli go. He's one of the good ones.

 

[MasturB]

Feli just wants the most consecutive slams played record.

What do you mean ? Madrid is the best tournament in Spain and it has been given to Feli, who is incidentally a huge Fed admirer.

Rafa is left at best with Barcelona.

the groundstaff have a bit of work to do on that grasscourt I think.

and why is milos sitting next to judymoo ?.. or is it his chubby twin brother.

The mac that Rafa can get now is Barcelona .

For a fleeting moment I thought he was announcing his admission into the Kaitlyn Jenner Academy of Weeny Severing before making a triumphant appearance in next July Cosmopolitan's Bathing Suit edition.

Groundskeeper Willy has been negligent, I see.

 

[JRAJ1988]

Lopez turned pro in 1997. I think he's been out on tour longer than anyone in the top 100, then Federer then I guess Karlovic.

 

[The Green Mile]

Played his debut tour level match against Novak in 98, got destroyed in straights. Fed also debuted in 98, I think Ivo was a bit later on.

 

[buscemi]

Federer currently holds the record for most consecutive Majors played at 65. Lopez is at 63. If Lopez plays the first three Majors of the year next year, he sets the record.

... and verdasco is 5 behind

 

[Red Rick]

Nice title. Thought the WTA was gaining an athlete.

Stepanek would like

 

[cc0509]

By the title, I thought you meant Felciano was transitioning into a woman which wouldn't have surprised me!

... transliciano ?!

 

[junior74]

Feli has been transitioning from the baseline to the net his whole career.

Thanks Feliciano - your beautiful tennis has won a place in my heart!

Deliciano:

Sun, 12th June 2014: ¤¤ Murray mum Judy’s thing for ‘Deliciano’ Feliciano revealed
JUDY MURRAY has spoken of her soft spot for one of her son’s rivals, who’s 22 years her junior.
The 54-year-old tennis coach reveals her crush on Spanish ace Feliciano Lopez on BBC Three’s BACKCHAT this Sunday.
She told host Jack Whitehall: “I call him Deliciano, for obvious reasons. At Wimbledon two years ago a German tennis player I’m pally with sent me a tweet saying, ‘Guess who I’m playing mixed doubles with at Wimbledon?’
“I said, ‘Oh no, not Feli?’ and she said, ‘Yeah, would you like to coach us? We’ll give you five per cent of the prize money and a photo of Feli.’
“I said, ‘I’d rather have five per cent of Feli’.”

Tiriac is the owner I think

This is the funniest thing I have read in a long time, and this comes from someone who reads greentexts

Not sure if Judy M would approve of Deliciano transitioning into Deliciana!

 

[jaggy]

Judy will go Begbie if Delish goes Renee Richards

 

[Gullyfoyle]

And that’s after the renovation

 

[Backspin1183]

Is he even in contention?

 

[Comb Over Champion]

Depends on what you call "playing".

 

[every7]

... and verdasco is 5 behind

This is a surprise that Verdasco is in the running. Have often seen him play early rounds at majors slightly under injury clouds and struggling slightly. I wonder if it has always been something important to him to be in the big four tournaments even when other players would maybe withdraw with injuries. It's a big achievement for someone with this heavier body type to have that much durability.

 

[Justice Underworld]

This title is confusing. Transitioning sounds like something else entirely and I think you know what I'm talking about.

 

[Tshooter]

Bump.

is that marijuana growing on the court ?

 

[TennisDawg]

Can’t be an ahole if you’re a tournament director like rudely telling spectators to sit down, like he did in Miami today. Spectators are why you’re there Feli, they pay the light bill,

 

[ChaelAZ]

I've enjoyed Felicino as a player, but he is one of those very dramatic guys and that drove me nuts.
