I know Nico is not popular on Mtf, but I as surprised no one posted the result from last night. It's surprising considering he won Costa do Sauipe and the scoreline indicates a close match.
Since., Nico is one of my favourites and I follow his career I thought I will post this.
Well done Nico, next up Hernandez. I hope Nico wins Bs As too.

Well, I hope it's his breakthrough year. He is so talented that I am surprised he didn't get it together upto now.

He is talented, no doubt, but his head cracks in the important moments. However the win over Moya in a tight match was important for sure.

I am sure you are right Nathalia, but I wonder why he had such a difficult match with MVA? Having not seen the match I can't comment. I have been following Nico for 3 years now since I saw him at Suttgart Mercedes Cup 2004. He is so talented and so gorgeous

 

[TankingTheSet]

The fact that he struggled to beat MVA is quite normal considering he only played the final on Sunday, so he would be a little tired from going deep last week. Look what happened to Moya. If he beats his second round opponent today he will get a day rest and might still be competitive in the QF.

He is much younger than moya though.

I reckon Nico can go deep, his draw is quite good.

 

[Burrow]

Nicolas Almagro is the type of player I could see in the top 10, a French Open champion, obviously he is not the strongest mentally most of the time but I am hoping he can bring it all toghether some day.

 

[El Magnifico]

He is still only winning pot events, you wait and see how he copes with the masters series and French Open, no doubt he will go out early again. I can see his whole career being like that, and never reaching his potential.

 

[DhammaTiger]

there are many who are slow starters. Look at Federer he got his major break through in 2003. He just needs confidence and belief in himself. I feel that this is his year. Did you see how he demolished Safin twice? once in Rome 2005, and in Valencia 2006.
