Another touranment where he'll be out just as it starts: Nico plays Canas in the first round.

He is playing doubles though with Marcos Daniel - they play Naso and Piccari from Italy.

Oh well...

Good Luck and VAMOOOOOS NICO!!!!

[kidnicky]

what happened here that nobody else before us is posting news about the OOP huh Sparko?

like she said, Nico will play on center court, last turn of tomorrow's oop, and no doubles so hopefully a big miracle could happen tomorrow

Vamos Nico!

[Sparko1030]

Yeah, I don't know where everyone was today Kid-I never post the OOP, there is always someone who beats me to it. Must be because its summer-everyone is gone
