On the upper side of the draw the winner of Farah and Zeballos should be one of the semifinalists. The other one should be Machado in normal circunstances.
On the bottom half Tavares or Marcos Daniel should be the 3rd semifinalist while on the last quarter my bet goes for Charly.

Good luck here for Sebas Decoud, Charly Berlocq, Hora Zeballos and Joao Souza :yeah:

No Acasuso :sad:

And where is Patience?

This was match number 200 for Massu on Challengers on clay

Vamos Horacio tonight! :D He so should win this tourney!!

Another great victory. Next one is Leonardo Tavares, I hope :D

Leonardo Tavares just won 6-4 7-5, taking the two break points he had, at the end of each set. Solid performance!

What are you doing, Salamanca? 4-1 aheahd, now 5-5...

Another good win for Daniel :)

Carlos SALAMANCA (COL) vs Facundo BAGNIS (ARG) 7-5 7-6

Machado will win tomorrow, but Leo will lose. If Rui play Horacio, then he will lose semis to, but anyway, good run for him (and for Tavares too).

We say "Sim" here btw, not "Si" as in Spanish :pThanks for that, I didn't have my Portuguese thinking cap on but I'll remember this in the future ;)

Marcos v Charly, very exciting. Hope Marcos takes it, only two more wins for the top 100.

Salamanca take the set now take the match!!

Tavares wasted 4 MP's. Unbelieveble!:sad:

Horrible loss bY Rui. 6-3 6-1? WTF? But he will be in AO main draw. And Leo will be in Qualies.

6-2 for great Daniel

Amazing defeat for Zeballos. Salamanca is an ok player for Challengers but Horacio is a better player than him. I`m afraid that Horacio`s latest results shows that his present tennis belongs to this level.

If he can start to play well again I think he can return to be a top 70 and play decently on ATP doubles aswell.

This is a good week for Cabal especially with his surprising victory over Machado.

Another great week for Daniel who is leading one set up against Charly on there semifinal match.

El Grande Daniel :worship:

Daniel def. Berlocq 6-2 7-6(5)

Only one more :worship:

Great stuff, 6-4 7-6(5) dropping only 4 points on 1st serve the whole match.

I really starting to like Marcos more and more.. hope he can be all time best Challnegers player

I really starting to like Marcos more and more.. hope he can be all time best Challnegers player

I still don't approve some of his attitudes during matches, but I do like to watch him playing, very interesting game.

Shame we don't have Stream from Medellin,want to see the final :sad:

Marcos is a really great grounded guy off the court, he gets moody on the court and obviously he's probably best known for the AO incident with the fan. Anyway, he really has a good game. His backhand may be a top 50 shot. Really good first serve, too. He's just never been able to translate his results outside of challengers in Colombia and Brazil. But he's definitely proven himself as a great challenger player.

Luiz Mattar should be the one among Brazilian players :)

I still don't approve some of his attitudes during matches, but I do like to watch him playing, very interesting game.

Agree. Besides he is one match away of winning his 2nd straight Challenger tour title and some steps away of the top 100. Not that bad.

Cabal beats Salamanca 6-4 5-7 6-4

Impressive victory for Cabal. Obviously, Daniel is the extreme favorite here, but the Colombia factor will help Cabal, so we'll see what happens.

6-3 7-5 for 14th Challenger crown :worship:

Good stuff Marcos.

YES YES YES!!!!!! Back to back wins and top 100, just what the doctor ordered for Marcos. I thought it was over but he showed me wrong. I'm so happy about this, he's where he should be now, and dominating these challengers like always. Very impressive week for Marcos, domination on serve.

FINAL

Marcos DANIEL (BRA) vs Juan Sebastian CABAL (COL) 6-3 7-5

Predictable. Congrats for Marcos Daniel for this new title and welcome back to the top 100.

Inspite of the defeat it was a good week for Cabal too.
