Defending Champion Chela Upset
The Argentine loses to Spain's Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo
Little-know Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo reached his career-first quarterfinal
on the ATP circuit by upsetting No. 3 seed and defending champion Juan
Ignacio Chela 6-1, 6-1 Thursday at the Priority Telecom Dutch Open. Before
this week the 25-year-old Spaniard had won only one ATP level match since
turning professional in 1998. That victory came against Hungarian Attila
Savolt in Bucharest two years ago. His previous best effort this season was
winning the Kosice challenger by defeating Tomas Zib in the final.
WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID
Chela: "I felt very uncomfortable on the court today. The conditions
were very heavy with the rain. I kept on playing the balls short and
wasn't able to use the court wisely. I wasn't expecting to play so
badly. I had a very good first round win. Having won the title last
year, I felt very confident on these courts. Unfortunately, the slow
conditions favoured my opponent. I had never seen him play before and
he surprised me. He has a great forehand."
"When the top-seeds of the tournament were knocked out, I thought I had
a good chance to reach the final again this year and defend the title."
