Rui Machado - Jogador do mês da ITF

Já está disponível o longo texto de apresentação de Rui Machado como o jogador do mês para a ITF em http://www.itftennis.com/mens/players/spotlighton/2008/march2008.asp.

O jornalista Nick Fishpool escapelizou as consecutivas vitórias de Rui Machado durante o mês de Março e quase no final deixa-nos um parágrafo inteiro que nos enche de orgulho e que deverá ser mais uma fonte de motivação extra para o encontro do Rui amanhã:

"To summarise, March was a successful month for Rui as he won two Futures singles titles to add to the two titles he won in February.

Also it is worth noting that starting with his first round win in Italy in early February, Rui managed to win twenty-three consecutive singles main draw matches before his defeat in the semi final of Spain F12 in late March.

This places him in joint 6th position in an all time list of successive main draw Futures matches won.

This run of victories brought him a total of 4 titles, three of these coming in successive weeks. During this 23 match main draw winning streak, Rui only lost 2 sets. He even played in a qualifying event during this same period winning all three matches played without losing a set."

Depois disto, só nos apetece dizer : Well Done, Rui.
