Estoril Open, esse barómetro, essa vidente munida de bola de cristal, essa bruxa de vassoura em riste - «The tournament is traditionally a platform for future Roland Garros champions. Sergi Bruguera, Thomas Muster, Albert Costa and Juan Carlos Ferrero won titles in Portugal before going on to succeed in Paris. Even Gustavo Kuerten (1997) and Gaston Gaudio (2004) won the doubles at the Estoril Open the same year they lifted the Roland Garros singles crown.»

Só falta ajustar as expectativas para a chuva que se espera a partir de quarta ou quinta-feira e para um Rogério em manifesta quebra de forma.
