I'm posting this before running off to school so I won't be here to see any replies for a while.

I was just curious if anyone knows what happened to Hugo Armando? He hasn't played any events this summer and I'm getting a bit concerned.

 

[jrm]

yeah he vanished

 

[mala18]

he injured his wrist,had a surgery 6 months ago now he is about to start compiting again,he will have protected ranking when he comes back!

 

[Scotso]

Well the injury isn't good news, but the fact that he will be back soon certainly is.

Thanks Mala!

 

[Gonzo Hates Me!]

I was curious about that too. Thanks Mala. Hugo is such a cutie!!!

HE'S PLAYING THIS WEEK IN CHALLANGER IN QUITO

 

[Ma. Estefania]

Yeap, he's here in my country, in Quito.

 

[Scotso]

I saw that

VAMOS HUGO!

 

[Ma. Estefania]

Well, he lost yesterday against ecuadorian wildcard Giovanni Lapentti(Nicolas' brother), he lost in straight sets 7-6, 6-3.

 

[Scotso]

It'll take him a while to get up to snuff

 

[nevenez]

Did this player retired?
I think he also had problems with doping.

 

[Snowwy]

It appears so, he is 32 and hasn't played since 2008 where he struggled pretty badly.

 

[turtle-rn]

Yep, he retired in 2008 and has been working as a USTA coach in 2009 & 2010.

 

[interruptus25]

i remember him as one of the very few american pure-claycourters...

 

[Filo V.]

He had quite a lot of talent, but several factors prevented him from showing his best.

His match against Seppi in Bucharest was phenomenal
