On Tuesday, in the MD's first round match, he'll face Polo Mathieu and then (sorry Paul) ...Verdasco again.

As predicted, PHM is out, bring Verdasco on...(btw: last year Nix defeated Verdasco in straights... )

Exactly my thought

Let's hope he does it again in straights against Verdasco, for a change

[Caio_Brasil]

Nico couldn't do it today, Verdasco won 7-5 6-3

If he goes to Rome, good luck there

[Kezzi]

I think it's great how he does it, play qualies, reach second round (or more) in MD, let's hope he can go on like this for a while

[takuma]

Tomorrow qualies in Rome, Nicolas plays vs Crivoi from Romania...

CAMPO 6

Inizio alle 12:00

Thomas FABBIANO (ITA) vs Nicolas MASSU (CHI)
Arnaud CLEMENT (FRA) vs Adrian MANNARINO (FRA)
Victor CRIVOI (ROU) vs Nicolas LAPENTTI (ECU)
Evgeny KOROLEV (RUS) vs Guillermo GARCIA-LOPEZ (ESP)

GL!

[Kezzi]

Good luck Nico!

[Caio_Brasil]

Nico lost in 2 sets

Will he play any tournament before Roland Garros?

[mayagaller]

Is Nico playing anything before the FO?

[takuma]

for all we know it doesn't look like it, he isn't playing in Estoril now and he won't play Madrid quallies either...next week he'll be out of the top100 (but it shouldn't last long, if he keeps playing as he did lately) as of Kitzbuehel, no idea really, but he ain't present even as an alternate, so...
anyways, this weekend he's playing the DC in Quito, it's starting tomorrow at 10:00am(~5 pm CET) with Giovanni v Miranda match, followed by Nix v Echazu:

R1 - G.LAPENTTI (ECU) v. I.MIRANDA (PER)
R2 - N.LAPENTTI (ECU) v. M.ECHAZU (PER)
R3 - G.LAPENTTI / N.LAPENTTI (ECU) v. S.GALDOS / A.RAPOSO DE OLIVEIRA (PER)
R4 - N.LAPENTTI (ECU) v. I.MIRANDA (PER)
R5 - G.LAPENTTI (ECU) v. M.ECHAZU (PER)

GL Ecuador!

[Kezzi]

I always think it's great when they play whole DC ties together
Good luck to the brothers

Nico made up his mind pretty late it seems, he's flying back to Europe tonight and will try to play in Kitzbuehel (in quallies or in the MD thanks to a WC). Damn it's difficult to be his fan and try to follow his schedule We can only guess where will he compete inbetween the French Open and Wimbly...

"La primera raqueta ecuatoriana Nicolás Lapentti viaja esta noche
(23h40) rumbo a Europa, donde jugará varios torneos, entre ellos el ATP de Kitzbuhel y los Grand Slams de Roland Garros y Wimbledon, en estos últimos entró directo al cuadro principal.
Nico debe jugar este fin de semana la ‘qualy’ en Kitzbuhel, aunque esperaba la confirmación de los organizadores, pues había pedido un wild card
(invitación) para jugar directo en el cuadro principal.

Maybe we should email him to put a schedule on his website, might help if he gets enough requests

[takuma]

we could give it a go, but honestly doubt our voice will be heard, as the site admin seems to be very busy...elsewhere
