Koellerer, David’s First Obstacle in Acapulco
The Austrian Daniel Koellerer, who qualified for the tournament, will be David Nalbandian´s (top pre-qualified) first opponent in the Acapulco ATP which awards 1,226,000 dollars in prizes. The Austrian is ranked 116th and has never faced David in official tournaments. This year, the European man played two matches and lost both, while Nalbandian won the Sydney ATP and was semifinalist in the Buenos Aires ATP. If he moves to the next round, the man from Córdoba (this week 12th in the world list) will face the winner of the match between the Brazilian Marcos Daniel and the Spaniard Alberto Martín.
