Other news out of Vina del Mar

[Carsomyr]

16 yr. old Chilean wildcard Christian Garin wins his debut ATP singles match against Serbian qualifier Dusan Lajovic, who's ranked more than 700 places above his young conquerer.

Anyone know anything about this kid? He's ranked 10th in the combined junior rankings and (thus far) hasn't had a huge impact at the big junior tournaments. However, winning your first ever match in the big leagues at so young an age is reminiscent of another precocious player currently in the field at Vina del Del...

The next Nadal? I don't recall Fed or Nadal winning their ATP debut!

Also in other news, Juan Monaco is paired with Nadal.

Nadal did in 2002 in Majorca. I'm not saying he's the next Nadal, but it's an interesting parallel.

Also in other news, Juan Monaco is paired with Nadal.

I'm sorry you don't feel this is newsworthy, given the relative lack of emerging teens in the men's game.

I saw a pic of Rafa grinning ear to ear with 3 chicks at the players party. Assuming his knees have held up, welcome back. Vamos Rafa!

This is pretty cute I am going to watch these two for sure they definitely have amazing chemistry and are really close friends.

Those "chicks" looked pretty plain and average looking nothing special about them too bad they are the wrong gender to really interest Nadal.

Delbonis is through to R2 and will face Nadal after surviving a third-set decisive TB vs Pella. Hope he has enough in the gas tank to at least compete vs Ralph.

Wow - very interesting. Playing Chardy in the next round, which will be a real test; will anyone be able to see this at all?

Monaco doing much to cement his status as weakest top 10 player ever...loses in straights to Rufin. Now he can concentrate on his new role as Nadal's dubsbro!

 

[sdont]

Wouldn't it be fun if Garin were to meet Nadal in the semis? :twisted:

 

[efete]
