Yes I hate the RR system also.

Juan should beat Martin he has a 5-1 H2H record.

Andreev could be a tough match if he finds his Davis Cup form.

Easy win over Martin 6-3 6-1.

Playing against Andreev tomorrow for a spot in the quarter finals.

Juan won his second match against Andreev in three sets. He had to fight a lot, especially in the second set. Well done Juan on winning the group and on reaching the quarterfinals :)

I hope Eugenia had a wonderful time supporting Juan and also watching the other matches :)

Juan d. Andreev 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 :banana: I went to Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis yesterday, and of course I saw his match! :bounce: Today I watched him on TV at home. :) Tomorrow I'll post a report of my "tennis day" at Copa Telmex. I saw these matches:

Chela vs. Martin
Acasuso vs. Hartfield
Monaco vs. Starace
Gaudio vs. Ramirez Hidalgo
Nalbandian vs. Cañas


And a little bit of Ferrero/Devilder and Saretta/Vanek. :cool:

I'm happy for Juan! He fought very hard to win that match against Andreev and against the heat! :kiss: :worship: He deserve to had a win like that in Buenos Aires! :yeah: Vamos Juan!!! :woohoo:

Juan's quarter-final match is the final match of the day against Almagro.

Juan lost 6-4, 6-3 in QF. :sad: Nicolas Almagro played very, very well, his serve was working and he looked as he had the control of the match from the very beggining. Anyway, Juan enjoyed a good week in Buenos Aires. :yeah:
I'll post some pics of the Copa Telmex in the pictures thread soon. :)
