"Nico" Lapentti今年的紅土季表現不錯 法網也給了這位Guga的老戰友一點篇幅

Favourite win

In the quarter-finals of the Australian Open against Karol Kucera in 1999. I
lost the fourth set 6-0 but won 8-6 in the fifth. Emotionally, it was my
greatest win.

最大的勝利: 99年澳網對上Kucera 第四盤0-6輸掉,在第五盤8-6拿下比賽
(不愧是馬拉松男人)

Worst defeat

Against Sebastien Grosjean in Stuttgart in 2000. It was indoors and I was
beaten 6-1 6-0. A real nightmare. It was all over in 40 minutes.

最慘的敗仗: 2000年在斯圖加特室內賽 40分鐘就被果醬橫掃

Favourite player

Guga! He's cool, easy to approach. I've known him for over 15 years and even
when he was No1 in the world he didn't change.

最喜歡的選手當然是Guga!

Least favourite player

I get on well with everyone on the circuit.

和大家都相處的很好 所以沒有討厭的選手

Sporting idol

In tennis, Andreas Gomez and Ivan Lendl. Otherwise, Michael Jordan and
Lance Armstrong.

前法網冠軍Andres Gomez是他的叔叔還是表哥 我忘記了

Favourite website

The websites of “Jornal do Ecuador” and “El Universo”, two Ecuadorian daily
newspapers.

Favourite film

The Illusionist with Edward Norton.

Favourite singer

Robbie Williams. Otherwise, I love Latin music from the 1980s.

Dan Brown who wrote “The Da Vinci Code”.

First kiss

I was 13 and it was at Quinto with a girl from the tennis club.

What do you like to do when you're not playing tennis?
