It will be very tough for Gato on those fast hardcourts, as he wasn't
playing well in the South American circuit and Escude is a dangerous
player.
As for my sources about the De La Pena thing well it's nothing

most important thing is whoever is coaching Gaston they need to try
and get his confidence back.
Tennis world is strange in many cases people who say they will never
talk to or work with, end up being friendly again.
