Well, its better than not playing anything before the big tournaments at least like last year :shrug: Its a fairly tough field for a challanger event :eek: With 3 Chileans playing, there will certainly be plenty of fans to support him and Nico and Paul :yeah: :lol:


VAMOOOOS FENA!!!

VAMOS Fernando! Suerte CHILENO!!!

I think its a good idea because he has played very little.. Even if he goes far in this challenger he will have couple of days of rest before his day of play at Miami..

I'm not sure it's a good idea either. :shrug:

And it kind of takes away what challengers are for...lower ranked players to work their way up the rankings. If higher ranked players play challengers, that takes away that opportunity.

Oh well...with that said, I hope he gets a couple of matches in...he must think that he needs it. I doubt he'll try much after a couple of matches (another reason why higher ranked players shouldn't play challengers..)

Vamos fena, win this challenger!

Surprising decision ... but I hope he gets some wins there and be better prepare for Miami.

Vamos Fernando!!!!

Feña plays the night match tomorrow at 8 pm Chile time :)

Don't worry, he's not in Nico's part :)

If he needs to practrice a little bit, it's a good idea to play. It's not the same when you play and when you practrice. He needs some matches, with this month off, I think he had difficulties to find the rythm again. Many good players are playing in this tournament, so it will be good for him. And, it's not a shame to play a challenger. I'd be happy to see him in challengers in Europe lol People in Miami are lucky to see him play. Anyway, good luck to him. Vamos :bounce:

What does WTF mean ?

He does need some playing time - and I hope he plays some challengers in Europe for you!!! :lol:

WTF = what the f*ck? :lol:

The challengers in Europe : if he needs to, I hope he won't have to play them, of course, everyone understood what I meant :lol:

Thanks for the WTF :lol: I'll go to bed less stupid tonight !!

Chris Guccione (AUS) vs Fernando Gonzalez (CHI) 5-7, 6-4, 6-4

smart move by Feña, today in Sunrise the SF matches were suspended by a thunderstorm :o

:scratch: Well, maybe he wasn't in to win as much as get court time :shrug: Or he just lost :p :lol: At least he was playing this week so he maybe better prepared for Miami :)
