The 65th NBP program began with a tribute and was dedicated.
– Here is the thanks to all who were, who sent messages – thanked Thin.
Former number 25 in the world, ranking reached in October 1999, the year he arrived at the semifinal of Roland Garros, the Brazilian idol commented on the moment of João Fonseca:
– We are in a very difficult time to debate in Brazil. One tennis player is a company and each department has to evolve: mentally, physically and technically. And you praise or criticize it has nothing to do with putting it in a macro, that he is a great player or he is a bad player Said Meligeni.
The Pan American Champion of 2003, in Santo Domingo, continued:
– When you make a criticism or compliment, in my opinion, you are putting under the prism of the tournament. The tennis player cannot be analyzed by a victory or a defeat, because we lose every week. It has to be analyzed by a total context. And the total context has Buenos Aires, Camberra, Phoenix and also has defeats that he has been suffering. And within this general context, it is the 44th in the world, reaching the ranking of Flávio Saretta, and has passed Ricardinho Mello and André Sá. It is a very large number, very relevant. Today he is 44 and no one gave him a point for free. In tennis, we learned that no one is good or bad tomorrow. It is today. It is a very relevant ranking, it is a very relevant moment – Observou Meligeni.
