Hopefully the Argentines do well here. Good luck especially to Martin Alund who has been having an awesome year.

[motorhead]

Falla out

[Smoke944]

Kevin Kim qualifying

[valve]

"Fighter" Farah strikes again, can't win a point when the ball is in play, 2 times double faults when facing break point. Estevez just an average claycourter.

[BrunoBeidacki]

CLEZAR def. GALDON

VAMOS!

Let's go, Ramirez Hidalgo will be tough, but nothing is impossible.

first retirement of falla's career I think

wow, good call

[Henry Chinaski]

yeah pretty creazy stst. I counted 675 pro singles matches.

have to count them up manually because ATP and ITF sites don't give totals including qualies (and Falla has spent a hell of a lot of his career playing qualies)

big pain in the ass.

if the itf lists all matches I have no idea why they can;t provide a total

[nole_no1]

OMG at the way Salamanca is playing He's frustrated as fuck after he lost the 1st set and can't (doesn't want to) put the ball in. Disgusting

Broke in the 2nd set *2-1 and then he missed EIGHT. EIGHT game points. EIGHT GAME POINTS and Barrientos broke at his 2nd bp chance. Then Barrientos held his serve to 0, Salamanca returning 3 balls directly out/in the net and 1 was ace from Barrientos.

[JMG]

You are not alone nole, we all saw this disgraceful performance. Barrientos has to be the luckiest challenger quarterfinalist of the year?!

[Helevorn]

Barrientos

Hopefully Souza won't retire!

[The Bulldog]

Guido is such a head case!

Giraldo withdrew.
