and I just wanted to say I love Gastón so much… excellent news for me! ;D

Gastón, Nalle and Marcos is my top favourite trio (well, along with Richie, Muzza and Rafito… )

Marcos defeated Gonzalez 6-2 6-2. Probably the most boring match in the history of tennis exhos as Feña was practically non-existent, Marcos played decently though. In the first set, Marcos broke Feña’s serve twice (in the first and the third game), and closed that set confidently. In the second set, Marcos broke Feña in the opening game and… I just fell asleep at 3-2 on Marcos’ serve…

Copa Argentina: la lluvia obligó a suspender la jornada de esta noche

La organización decidió que mañana, al mediodía, jueguen Nalbandian-Gaudio y, tras un intervalo de 30 minutos, Mónaco-Baghdatis; la final será a las 20

19 de Diciembre de 2009 - 18:12

Las fuertes lluvias que se desataron hoy en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, la organización de la Copa Argentina de tenis decidió cancelar la jornada de esta noche.

Debido a las consecuencias de las precipitaciones, David Nalbandian y Gastón Gaudio jugarán, mañana, al mediodía en el court central del Baltc. Tras un intervalo de 30 minutos, Juan Mónaco chocará con Marcos Baghdatis -ambos ganadores del Grupo 2-.

Posteriormente, a las 20, se jugará la final. Si no hay sorpresas, Nalbandian jugaría ante el ganador entre Pico y el chipriota.

Por el grupo 1, Nalbandian le había ganado anoche al español Carlos Moya por 6-2 y 6-4, que a su vez había superado el jueves a Gaudio por 6-3, 2-6 y 6-4.

En el grupo 2, Mónaco venció el jueves al chileno Fernando González por 7-5 y 6-4, y anoche el trasandino volvió a caer, esta vez ante Baghdatis por un doble 6-2.

I currently don't have time to translate it into English (and you all probably know my deep-seated scornful hatred for the automatic translators ). Luckily enough, I’m sure that Choupi and Rose have developed a strategy to understand written Spanish and Nadine is currently attending an intensive Spanish course. As for the lurkers, well, perhaps I can pull them out from their lurkdom… Jelena, anyone?

[choupi]

Getta I'm really sorry to disappoint you as my knowledge of Spanish is quite inexistant.

OK - as I've been asked - here is a (very) quick translation. Really nothing very thrilling in that article!
