Estrella Burgos - Klizan 6-2, 6-2.

SF: F. Lopez - Verdasco
Bellucci - Burgos

Some truly amazing stuff going on here.

Victor Estrella Burgos (34) just made his first ATP Tour final beating Bellucci 7-6, 7-5.
Right away he is playing the doubles final alongside Souza (Bra).
And all this at 2800+ metre altitude!!!
I don't even know how they are able to play at all, nevermind back to back.

clap

Wow that is amazing for an old guy. Beating Klizan and Bellucci in straight sets. Very impressive!:clap Who is he playing against in the final?

I haven't watched any of this week's tournaments, the European ones are hard for me to watch when I work in the morning.:nono

I might check the finals tomorrow.

The other SF will follow between Verdasco and Feli Lopez.
Obviously Victor will be the underdog.

 

[Billie]

Thanks herios....yeah big underdog, unfortunately. But still his first ATP final at the age of 34? That must be some sort of record.

 

[herios]

Lopez - Verdasco 7-6, 7-6.

The final, will have to be one of the "oldest" ever, a 34 y vs. a 33y old.

Go Victor, let's make history here!!

 

[Billie]

And Victor Estrella Burgos did it!!! 6:2 6:7 7:6, very tight 2 sets. This is just amazing to me, that a player at his age would make his first ATP final and beat several higher placed players on his way to his first title. He is 1/1 in the finals.:clap

He must be very happy!

Too bad for Deliciano.

 

[herios]

Dream run for Victor Estrella Burgos:

6-2, 6-7, 7-6!!!!

:clap

34y old, 5'8" first title of his career, shows the young blokes how it can be done!

I love the Cinderella stories, but this one tops it for me

That's the most awesome picture quality on clay I've seen in quite some time. Cheers pavlik. Normally it's so hard to see the ball in clay matches.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]
