Nando lost against Novak Djokovic in his quarterfinal match at the China Open, 3-6, 6-1, 1-6. It was a pretty crazy match for the most part with some amazing and not-so amazing playing on both sides, especially during the last two sets. Nando will receive 90 points for reaching the quarterfinals, which keeps him in the running for a spot in the Year End Championships in London. He’s currently #7 in the ATP Race and if he manages to reach the quarterfinals in Valencia and the third round in Shanghai and Paris, he should make the YEC. Since he’ll be seeded in the Masters events, he’ll automatically get a bye into the second round, so as provided he wins his first match in both Masters events, he should qualify!
Below the cut are some pictures from the matches and there are also some really adorable pictures from an autograph session Nando did yesterday.
I was so disappointed when FV lost thinking about London. But then I remebered there is still Shanghai, Valencia and Paris. I really hope he makes it to the tour finals and plays for the Spanish Davis Cup team in December.
ps. I hope you can post some updates on the FL-FV doubles team up in Shanghai. It got me so excited.
