Here is a link to Mariano's part of the draw at the US Open. His draw looks OK - qualifier in the first round and then either Wawrinka or Ram in the 2nd round. Good Luck Mariano

OH Rosie!!! :smooch: Thanks!!!

I did not know that the draw has been already published!!! I hope he really can do better than regularly this time

 

[Choupi]

I hope he does the best he can! And Daniel, don't forget that it isn't the same Mariano that will start that USO...

The qualifying rounds have now been completed, and we now know that Mariano's fiirst round opponent will be Noam Okun from Israel. I don't know too much about this guy apart from the fact that he is supposed to have excellent, big groundstrokes, and I believe he plays a lot of doubles too. He certainly has lots of experience though has never really made it to the big time.

GOOD LUCK MARIANO!

Mariano won. The score was 7-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-0. Looks like Okun played well but just ran out of steam at the end - well done anyway to Mariano and good luck in the next round.

 

[deflori]

Vamos & good luck in the next !

 

[Fergie]

Well done Mariano and good luck in the next round!

 

[Choupi]

Well done Mariano. At least 1 Arggie who goes through the trap of the 1st rd! Good luck for the rest.

 

[Denaon]

Indeed at least he could make it, though Coria joined him later
Good luck Mariano next round!

Of course you may say so - and welcome to our Board

Mariano and his partner Enzo Artoni from Italy are playing doubles today - I wish them luck!

 

[Choupi]

My best wishes to Mariano and Enzo.

 

[Denaon]

Who's Enzo?

Go Mariano!! Wawrinka might be a tough rival but you can do it!!!

 

[Choupi]

Who's Enzo?

Enzo Artoni, the Italian guy who's playing with him in doubles. Don't worry Daniel, I had never heard of him before neither...
