Nico is in the AO qualifying list! I wish him great luck, hopefully he does his best and makes things happen positively at the beginning of the season.

Nico's schedule for January 2011: AO Qualies, then Bucaramanga,then Santiago

Thanks, Lovely for the updates!

Seems like a good schedule. The Colombian challenger could be a tough one, though, since likely a lot of the clay courters who lose R1/R2 in Australia will show up. Hope he has a great start to 2011 to get his career and ranking in a suitable place.

Nicolas is very motivated and works hard to come back (he practices 4 hours every day under the sun in Chile.He started preparing the new season 3 weeks ago)

Sounds great! I love that his motivation and will is still strong as ever. He sounds like he's got back to good fitness and that's very important for Nico, especially at his older age. All of that hard work will pay off for him, and the fact he ended his season early will end up in his benefit for 2011. It's very uplifting to read how determined he is, I feel uplifted as a fan!

There are some videos of Nico practicing (off courts, at the gym or doing physical training with his physical trainer Ricardo Luna) on my blog

He is not in Bucaramanga

Wouldn't it be wise to play some matches before playing an ATP tournament?

He decided to stay in Chile prepare the Santiago tournament instead of traveling to Bucaramanga. He came back home from Melbourne last monday after a very long trip.Most of the players who are in Colombia didn't play in Australia so no jetlag problems for them

I see Nico lost in a close match at the Moviestar open in Santiago Better luck in your next tourney Nico

[LOVELY]

Updates : Nicolas is moving definitely to Miami at the end of March ( for the career of his girlfriend) and leaves Chile.That's why he decided to play now only tournaments close to Chile or Florida until he gets a better ranking, meaning no Challengers in Europe, only USA or South America.

[LOVELY]

Update : Nico got a WC for Miami Qualy !!

[Filo V.]

Great! Hopefully Nico puts on a good performance at his new home
