Fernando Gonzalez He is a commentator for “TNT Sports”, a new post-retirement profession that allowed him to witness live the victory and the championship that Nicolás Jarry achieved at the Chile Open. Recently, the same former tennis player has shared a nice collage on his social networks where the three Chilean champions are before his audience.
The “Tennis Chile” portal was in charge of making this publication in its Instagram stories with three photographs where you can see the Bomber, the Tower and Cristian Garín. To this image is added a text that says: “the prophets in their land”, in reference to the titles they raised in their own country. Quickly, Fernando Gonzalez took this post and replicated it.
For a generational issue, it was clearly Mano de Piedra who he triumphed first in the editions held in Viña del Mar in the years 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2009 and that helped him reach 11 titles in his career. In fact, he was the last to achieve this until 2021 when Cristian Garín broke the curse and made the entire country vibrate.
This select group of two was joined by Nico Jarry yesterday after beating Tomás Etcheverry in the grand final after starting losing and reaffirming that he is in an extraordinary moment and that he is in his year. In a matter of two weeks reaching the ATP Rio semifinal and winning his country’s tournament, he rose from 157th to 52nd.
It was not only in Viña
Despite the fact that the remembered titles of Fernando Gonzalez in Chile they are the tournaments in Viña, it must be remembered that in his youth he also managed to succeed in the Challenger and Futures tournaments. In November 1998 he achieved the F3 in Santiago after beating Enzo Artoni.
A week earlier, he also won the F1 title in Santiago together with Miguel Tobón in the doubles after beating his compatriots Sergio Cortés and Francisco Ruiz.
