ATP Viña del Mar

Alex his first tournament of the year, starts on the 31st of January.
Good luck Alex! Win some matches! :) :hug:

Vamos Alex :yeah: ... I will be there and will take some pics for all Alex fans here ;)

Aw Fergie :hug: You're great ;) :hug:

Fergie, gracias!!! I have a message for him -- could I PM it to you in case you see Alex?? George tried to give it to Costa but I don't think he made it.

VAMOS, ALEX!!

Tell him he has lots of fans fr all over!

Sorry I've been absent from here for a while - just blame the Australian Open and keeping ridicuolous hours, and suffering when David loses 10-8 in the final set :sad: But just wanted to pop in and say Good Luck to Alex for his first tournament of the season.

Thank you Rosie, and so sorry for David :sad: :hug:

Thank you Rosie, and so sorry for David :sad: :hug:

Thanks HybridTheory :hug: I'm actually OK now - not sad anymore just very proud of him. I have two friends who are on their way to Vina now for this tournament - and one of them is a big Alex fan too. I won't see them for a while because they go to Buenos Aires after Vina, and, when they come back, I'll be in Rotterdam - but I can assure you that there will be some pics of Alex from his next tournaments and I'll ask them if I can post them here when they return.
