Did you know ... ?

Fernando Gonzalez won Roland Garros as a junior in singles and doubles (w/Jose Antonio de Armas) (1998)
And he also won the US Open in doubles with Nicolas Massu (1997)

What do you guys think about this ???

I think is awesome I just hope that he can someday repeat his title in Roland Garros (or any slam) but now as a professional :D

And Feña def. Ferrero in RG ... I really hope that someday he can repeat the title! :yeah:

I only remember Feña beat Ferrero becoz I like both of them. http://www.mysmilie.de/english/green/smilies/love/10.gif

I hope he can gain GS too,also get some AMS, http://www.les-smileys.com/smiley/Smiley/Sport/agt.gif (http://www.les-smileys.com) and he needs lucks to have a better draw. http://www.mysmilie.de/english/green/smilies/cool/img/012.gif

Feña has beaten Juanqui several times until RG2003 QF when Juanqui went on to win it... but they know each other well and respect each other -- they were so cute at the net I remember... love them both!

I just want Feña to take Amersfoort! ;)

A cute pic of Feña and JCF when they were kids ... :D

Nice pic, thanks :) and yes I knew that and like you all so hope that he'll win RG or any other GS now as a professional one day – that would be so fantastic.

And I remember RG 2003 and his QF match against Ferrero very well as I’m following Fernando since then :inlove: and I especially liked the moment at the net with Ferrero. I just loved Fernando for the way he played and being able to react like this at the net after losing such a tight 5 setter. :worship:

For those of you who don’t remember here are some pictures of it:

What a cute picture from when they were kids!!!

And that match in 2003 between the two of them was hard to follow - I wanted them both of win. Of course Fena because he's my second favorite, but I also really like JC and felt that it was his time to win RG.

I'll never forget the look on Fena's face though after he lost - he was so devastated. I felt so horrid for him - it was such a tough loss.
