After the exhibition game Marcelo Rios played against Álex Corretja the different repercussions began to take place. While the majority of the public was extremely happy to have seen the idol that the country once had on the slopes, others spoke about his physique and not in a good way.
These characters who attacked El Chino are completely anonymous on social networks, especially on Twitter, because they do not have a profile picture and their usernames do not reflect their real names. However, in the midst of so many questions, there was someone who spoke in the media and was furious about the situation.. This is the journalist Rodrigo Sepúlveda who came out in defense of Marcelo Rios and invited to depose this attitude.
“I checked Twitter and by God there are people who have a bad vibe, that bad vibe that is born, I think out of nowhere. Characters with an unknown face, but hitting and bursting it for many things, above all, physical”said the “Mega” communicator. He even affirmed that the statements against him are valid, only if they refer to the conduct that the former tennis player had as a professional and that is eventually repeated in this stage of retirement.
“Old man, he was number one in his activity. For me that has a lot of respect and admiration. World-class tennis players in history with the wrist and skill of Marcelo Rios They are counted”, concluded Sepúlveda. Fortunately, not all of them were anger and hurtful words, since there were others who highlighted the magic that spread throughout the Gran Arena Monticello and left several plays to remember.

one more for the list
With yesterday’s victory, the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz won the ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells for the first time and joined a small list that includes the Chilean. From 1990 to date, only eight tennis players have conquered the tournaments in Miami and the one played in the Californian desert.
The young man won last year in Florida and this year he won the trophy in Indian Wells. However, now he will try to repeat the feat of Ríos in 1998 and achieve the Sunshine Double, which consists of winning both contests within the same season, something that only seven tennis players in history have achieved.
