Guccione wins Challenger tournament February 13, 2005 - 6:49PM Victorian Chris Guccione has become the first Australian player to win the $US25,000 ($A31,928) Uncle Tobys Burnie Challenger upsetting Japanese No.2 seed Gouichi Motomura 6-3 7-5 at the Burnie Tennis Club today. It was the 19-year-old's first success at the Challenger level, the circuit below the higher level ATP Tour events. Guccione's ranking has now risen from his current 367 to inside the world's top 300 when the weekly ATP rankings are released on Tuesday. "It's a great start to the year and it is a step towards where I would like my ranking to be, which is around the top 100," Guccione said. Motomura struggled against Guccione's first serve with the Australian sending down 17 aces for the match giving him a total of 76 over his five matches during the week. "My serve is my major weapon of course and I don't necessarily set a target on how many aces I want to serve, but I felt it was working well throughout the tournament," Guccione said.

Sorry Brinyi, why your disgust of Mr. Chris Guccione? I don't know, I just like to pick out players to hate. ;D I guess it all started with his win over Ferrero, who implied in his charming way that he wasn't really much more than a serving machine, which was probably right -- then he lost all those matches in Futures and Satellites which I thought was very funny and I started laughing at him -- then he won this Challenger and I'm mad because I'm afraid he will start winning matches now and my fun will be over.
