I got home just when he was turning it around in the 2nd so I thought he had it at that point. But he seemed to give up once he was broken in the 3rd set. He just seemed to lack fight and spark - saw it in the other match too.

People here have insisted that he's changed, but from what I saw this week, nothing is different from what has been happening the last couple of years.

Well I hope he can gain some points in the last Challengers of the year.

And then he has to think about his singles career during the off-season. Maybe the last chance, he's getting older and I won't see him losing at small Challenger week after week.

I hope Florianapolis has live-streaming as well as the others. It was good to be able to see him play in Arajuca even if he looked tired.
Thanks Lovely for all the links.

[kidnicky]

yeah I don't think he has changed that much actually, he's still driving us crazy :retard:

[NicoFan]

Florianopolis doesn't even have a web site. At least not one that I can find. And the challenger thread doesn't have one posted either.

So we probably won't get live streaming again until next week when he's at another Copa Petrabras tournament.

Agreed, but I doubt it will happen. I've been saying that for months...well over a year.

He just keeps saying that he has to continue to work hard and the results will come.

Unfortunately, yes, he does have to work hard, but he's got to make big changes as well, and he completely refuses to do that. Refuses. Why is anyone's quess, but he hasn't done anything big for three years despite people like Rios telling that he has to make changes. I doubt he'll start now.

And since he won't, I'm afraid those of us who follow him still will have to watch loss after loss in singles in these challengers until he decides he has enough. I doubt he'll even do what many others have done before him and go the doubles circuit on the regular tour.

Nico drew Daniel Silva in the first round.

And if he gets that far, he might meet Paul in the QFs.

Once someone types up the draw, I'll post it.

horrible draw

Paul vs Nico and the winner against Escopeta in SF

[kidnicky]

bad draws have come and gone during a looot of years

let's see what Nico can do here, it seems we'd only find out about his results after the matches are finished

[NicoFan]

Nico plays tomorrow (Monday) at around 2:00.

Like Kid said, we won't know his results until after the matches are finished...no web site, no nada.

Good luck to Nico...hopefully he can do something here.

[kidnicky]
