Good Luck in Montreal Nico

NicoFan · 08-05-2005, 09:43 PM

Draw is out.

Don't know how he would do against Kiefer

, who is good on hardcourts, but certainly isn't a powerhouse like Andy on hardcourts.

Buena suerte NICO MASSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know why Kiefer retired against James in LA?

He didn't play DC either.

And I read on his forum that he was going to the doctor in Montreal.

Fergie · 08-05-2005, 10:09 PM

The draw suck!

Vamos Nico, do your best!

NicoFan · 08-05-2005, 10:26 PM

Kiefer had a virus - respiratory illness. Bad enough to knock him out of DC too.

I'm sure that he's fine now, but maybe he hasn't been able to practice a lot.

Buena suerte NICO!!!

Another crappy draw

Vamos Nico y Feña!!!

NicoFan · 08-07-2005, 10:38 PM

FYI - the Monday OOP is out and Nico isn't playing. So Tuesday he'll play.

NicoFan · 08-08-2005, 04:53 PM

I got this off Kiefer's forum - hope they don't come over here and yell at me for ripping off their translation. lol!

Its originally from Kiefer's site and they translated it.

Kiefer sounds psyched to meet up with Nico - but hopefully Nico will be just as psyched to beat him for a second time!!

VAMOS NICO!!!

Die US Open nahen...
Die Stimme noch ein wenig belegt, der Hals noch ein wenig katzig, die Beine aber auf dem Weg zur Bestform. Der Erkältungsvirus ist weitgehend überwunden. Ich kann wieder an Tennis denken. Den Erfinder der Klimaanlagen sollte man würgen... Zwei Wochen hatte der in den USA übliche Wechsel von (innerer) Kälte und (äußerer) Hitze - was jetzt nicht emotional, sondern nur mit Blick auf das Thermostat gemeint ist - mich in seinen Bann gezogen. Jetzt habe ich mich aus seinen Klauen wieder befreit und bin bereit für Taten.

Das heißt in Montreal in der ersten Runde ein Wiedersehen mit dem wohl einzigen Mann, wegen dem ich mal sehr viele Tränen vergossen habe... Es ist Nicolas Massu, der Chilene aus dem olympischen Doppelfinale. "Einzel-Erfahrung" habe ich mit ihm noch nicht. Ich hoffe, es werden positive...

Denn jetzt nahen die US Open, das Turnier, auf das ich heute schon mit großer Freude hinschaue. Montreal und Cinncinati sind aber viel mehr als nur Vorbereitungsturniere. Beides Mal geht es um viele Punkte. Für mich vor allem um Matchpraxis und, dass ich wieder den süßen Geruch des Erfolges riechen möchte...

Bis bald - Euer KIWI

The US Open is coming...
The voice was still a little hoarse, the throat still scratchy, the legs however on their way to top form. The cold virus has been mostly overcome. I can think of tennis once again. Someone should strangle whoever invented air conditioning... Two weeks in the US of rapid changes between (inner) cold and (external) heat - meaning the thermostat, not my emotions - knocked me off my feet (NB: this is not a direct translation!). Now I've freed myself from its clutches and am ready for battle.
This means a meeting in the first round at Montreal with the man, over whom I have shed many tears... Nicolas Massu, the Chilean from the Olympic doubles final. I have not yet had any "singles experience" against him. I hope it will be a positive one...
The US Open is getting near, the tournament to which I am already looking forward. Montreal and Cincinatti however are a lot more than merely warmup tournaments. Both are worth a lot of points. For me above all for match practice and because I would once again like to experience the sweet smell of success..

Bis bald - Euer KIWI
