atoenupu - Australian Open
gasgalarza - Newport Beach Challenger



Nelson : WAOW ! What a tournament ! You had a difficult start the first days, and then you came back from nowhere and grabbed the title. You were the only one to dare picking both Thiem and Zverev for the SF ! How did you feel after your biggest win ever ?

atoenupu : Thanks guys, as you say my first week was nothing special and i did think of joining the challenger. But i thought i should stay and see if i could take points of long term rival mcatolico. Then i had a rather good week 2 mostly down to those pics, i just felt one of kyrgios or thiem would have too much for rafa and thought zverev should win his quarter.

Nelson : You now have the 11th best palmares among the LLTL, you are ranked #1 at the Race, and you're ranked #12 in the yearly rankings. You now have a new status: a pretender for the first place. What do you think of that ? Ready to reach the next step ?

atoenupu : Well my season LLTL goals are to: Remember to enter all 4 gs, Close gap to best player in my office mcatolico Not fail to qualify to the tour finals before the us open series. So far so good, finding the pressure of being a seed at the current tournement.
Ps mcatolico fancy teaming up for the rg doubles
