YouTube Best Of-3... Copa Argentina

No news from David at the moment.
No confirmation of the San Juan exhibition yet.
Time to have a look at the event David will play, the Copa Argentina. Or Copa Peugeot Argentina de Tenis, as it's officially called. Held at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club (BALTC), also home of the Copa Telmex, and played on hardcourt. The event was first established in 2003 and since then, David has played it every single year, winning it twice (2005 against Calleri and 2007 against Monaco). Last year though, an injured and frustrated David lost his opening match against Chela (view report).

Here are a few impressions from the Copa Argentina 2007. (I couldn't find any clips of David's brief visit to the BALTC last year.) With David, fresh from his victories at Madrid and Paris... Just to get an idea of the place and the event. Enjoy.



David prepares for his semifinal match against Chela (he won 6-1, 6-3). Note the comfy chair and the huge bottle of what looks like red wine next to it...



Match point against Monaco. (David won the final 6-4, 7-5.) And classic David stuff. There's a bit of a struggle with his serve but then his backhand wins him the point - and the title.
