Re: Cheering thread for the inimatable MARCELO RIOS!

Rios on Transworld sport this week.

They showed plenty of old clips from Marcelo, then some of him doing his radio show with plenty of smiles, hitting on the court and an interview - he spoke in Spanish, and the commentator spoke 'over him'.

He said that he thinks he made it too soon on the tour - he made number 1 after e years turning pro - that he never had time to savour what he'd done, almost didn't understand it. He then said that he played when injured, and he shouldn't have - he should have stopped when things began to bother him. He also said he was ok with the media - some journos were fine with him, others weren't, and that they should respect when he was the 'public' Rios and the private Rios.

He realises that his best days are behind him, but he continues to hope he can play again. He says that the desire and enjoyment of playing tennis is still with him, and if he didn't play tennis, his life would have an empty part.

RIOS UNDERGOES MEDICAL INTERVENTION

Marcelo Rios underwent a minor medical procedure to overcome his back problems. The procedure will allow him to play without pain at least for a couple of weeks. Rios could start practicing tennis either Tuesday or Wednesday.

The former world number one said his manager keeps working to get wild cards from the organizers of the Master Series tournaments of Rome and Hamburg. Marcelo wants to play the Master Series as a way to prepare for the World Team Cup in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Ríos trains again

The pains in the back took to Marcelo again Ríos to the pavilion. "And he had never had so much fright", he admitted the left-handed one that underwent yesterday a blockade facetario (infiltration of articulations). I "Know that it is not a long term solution, but it will stop the pain for a couple of months, it will remove all that of the back" a little, he told the former number one of world that had to keep rest yesterday.

In any event, Ríos hopes make tennis tomorrow again. Everything thinking of the wild cards that he requested to the Masters Series of Rome and Hamburg. "But I don't still have news in this respect. My agent is seeing the topic and I don't care that in the newspapers they say that they won't give" me.

As the own Ríos, the panorama it advances it is complicated. The director from Rome, Sergio Palmieri, advanced since it will privilege the young local tennis players. In Germany they are more drastic: the petition has not arrived them on behalf of Chile and, although it arrives, they are already assured for local players.

With everything, Ríos would return to the courts for the World cup of Teams of Düsseldorf in that it was included by Nicolás Massú, first racket of the country.

Re: Cheering thread for the inimatable MARCELO RIOS!

ADIOS FOR RIOS Former world number one Marcelo Rios admits he is close to bringing the curtain down on his career and will come to a definite decision in the near future.

The Chilean has undergone back surgery twice in the last six months following injury and his subsequent inactivity has seen him drop to 739th in the world rankings.

"I'm close to retirement and I've been thinking about that for a long time. I know I'm looking for excuses to avoid it - I am cheating myself," he said on Chilean television.

"I know I can't be among the best in the world anymore, it's impossible dreaming about being the number one again. Physically I haven't been fine"

The 28-year-old left-hander, a claycourt specialist, was world number in 1997-98 and won 18 titles in his career after turning professional in 1994.

"Once I retire I would like to stay close to tennis. This sport has been my life and gave me all I have," he added.

Alvaro Fillol confirmó que Marcelo Ríos jugará el ATP de Viña

El director del Movistar Open ratificó que el ex número uno del mundo volverá al circuito profesional para disputar el certamen de la Ciudad Jardín, sumándose a Fernando González y Nicolás Massú.

Uno de los cuadros más atractivos de su historia tendrá el ATP de Viña del Mar 2007, ya que el público podrá presenciar el regreso al profesionalismo de Marcelo Ríos, luego que la organización del certamen llegara a un completo acuerdo con el ex número uno del mundo.

Alvaro Fillol, director del Movistar Open, ratificó que el mejor deportista del Siglo XX jugará el torneo de la Ciudad Jardín. Y se sumará a los nombres de Fernando González y Nicolás Massú como máximas atracciones.

"Vamos a contar con los tres históricos del tenis nacional en un mismo torneo por primera vez, porque la vez anterior en que participó Fernando y Nicolás Massú con Marcelo como top ten ellos estaban recién empezando su carrera", señaló Fillol.

"Ahora va a ser un poco a la inversa, con Marcelo que está retirado de su carrera, pero siempre pensando en que los tres son estrellas de primer nivel", agregó.

El organizador del certamen viñamarino confirmó el acuerdo con Marcelo Ríos, y de esta forma su presencia estará asegurada, luego que la Asociación de Tenistas Profesionales le diera la autorización pese a que está inscrito en el Merril Lynch Tour of Champions, donde es el número uno indiscutido.

"Yo creo que la ATP siempre está pensando en el bien de los torneos. Ellos vieron que Marcelo Ríos era una figura importante para el Movistar Open, y por lo tanto decidieron darle el vamos", indicó.

Lo que no se podrá ver sobre la arcilla del Club Naval Las Salinas entre el 29 de enero y el 4 de febrero será un adelanto de la llave que Chile y Rusia sostendrán la semana siguiente por la primera ronda del Grupo Mundial de Copa Davis, ya que la presencia de Nikolay Davydenko quedó descartada.

"No tenemos esos fondos, a menos que aparezca a último minuto un auspiciador que nos traiga dineros nuevos. Pero por el momento está descartado", explicó Alvaro Fillol, en referencia al alto monto que pide la primera raqueta rusa como garantía para participar en el Movistar Open.

Cabe recordar que el torneo de Viña del Mar se jugará bajo las nuevas reglas que instauró la ATP para esta temporada, con un sistema por grupos que asegurará que, al menos, Ríos, González y Massú jueguen dos partidos de la primera fase.

Re: Marcelo "CH1NO" R1OS "Back only for Viña 2007" Thread

Confirmado: Marcelo Ríos, González y Massú jugarán el ATP de Viña del Mar

La información fue ratificada por Álvaro Fillol, uno de los encargados del evento. "Los tres son estrellas de primer nivel y estamos muy contentos con su presencia", dijo. Se jugará con nuevo sistema de grupos.

SANTIAGO, noviembre 27.- Definitivamente el ATP de Viña del Mar tendrá la presencia de tres destacados valores criollos. Y es que hoy la organización del evento contó que Marcelo Ríos, Fernando González y Nicolás Massú jugarán el certamen veraniego.

En efecto, todos verán acción en el campeonato que se juega del 29 de enero al 4 de febrero de 2007, y que contempla un nuevo sistema de eliminación.

Ocurre que en nuestro país se agrupará a los tenistas en cuadros de a tres, de modo que todos muestren sus virtudes al menos en dos cotejos, avanzando el mejor.

"Para nosotros es un orgullo que estén, porque la única vez que participaron todos Fernando y Nicolás iniciaban su carrera, mientras que Marcelo ya era Top Ten. En esta oportunidad se han invertido los papeles", dijo Álvaro Fillol, uno de los organizadores del evento viñamarino.

No se quedó ahí y añadió que "los tres son estrellas de primer nivel y estamos muy contentos con su presencia en el torneo".
