Stade Francais

He did not begin playing at Stade Francais, but at Sport Francés. Stade Francais and Sport Francés are two different sports clubs in Santiago. Stade Francais is located in Las Condes, not adjacent to Ríos' house, whereas Sport Francés is very close from his house in Vitacura. I know because I met him in the Sport Francais club where he trained.

Tour

Is there an age limit on the Seniors Tour? Ridiculous that this guy, retired only 3 years, plays against 47 year olds. R o gerthat ^Talk 06:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

The tour is for 30-year-olds and over. It's the organizers that set the criteria so if you have a problem with that, moan at them (I personally think 35 and over would be more appropriate). Most of the players are in their thirties; McEnroe is an exception because, well, he's McEnroe. GringoInChile 13:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Comeback in 2007?

Latest comment: 18 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

It has been widely reported in Chile that Ríos will appear in the Viña del Mar ATP tournament and it seems that he is close to an agrrement with the organizers. I have a citation here but it's in SPanish. Should it be included in the article anyway? GringoInChile 13:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I removed the entry earlier. I wasn't aware of that article, thought by reading it, it isn't clear to me that he's coming back only that he would eventually play the ATP Viña. I recently read an interview where he says that he's not considering playing the ATP tour again and that he's happy in the senior tour. I don't have enough confidence in my english to edit the article, so I was thinking maybe you could add it . The information is in here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/4790323.stm. Thank you. Jmieres 15:58, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I agree with you after readingthat interview. I've alterd the mention in the article so that it's clear that he's not thinking of coming back. By the way, I think you're English is quite OK so you shouldn't feel hesitant about adding something. If you make some minor errors, someone will come along and correct it in true Wikipedia fashion.

Requested move

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The name of this article should be changed to "Marcelo Rios" because that is the name used on the English-language websites of the official governing bodies of tennis, which are the Association of Tennis Professionals and the International Tennis Federation. This is also the name used on the English-language website of Davis Cup. Tennis expert (talk) 04:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Better article

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Marcelo Rios was a World N°1 in the ATP ranking. This should be a better and more complete article. The ATP Tour section is terrible bad. Please help to improve it. See the spanish article for more information. --Tommy The Wise (talk) 05:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

It tried a first revision of the ATP section. Hoep this for the moments solves the open points. Collaboration is welcome. --'''Attilios''' (talk) 10:30, 21 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Quality of English in this article?

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

To be honest I´m not native speaker, yet I think, that the English in this article is not good. A native speaker should probably read it and re-write it.

Some examples:

However, the August 10 recovered by the other two weeks. Marcelo achieved this year but now having great performances...
