MS Roma : 2 matches and injury :-(

May 16, 2008

After his victory in Munich, Fernando flew directly to Roma. He only had one day off and he played his first match against Tipsarevic against whom he won in 3 sets 3-6 7-6(7) 7-6(6), then, he had to face Korolev, he won in straights sets 6-3 6-2. Unfortunately, in this match, he got injured and had to withdraw for this third match against Almagro. Fernando made the right choice because his main goal is to play well in Roland-Garros starting at the end of next week.

Fernando flew back to Chile, withdrew from Hamburg, but the news are good and Fernando will participate finally in Roland-Garros :-) )
