Is there an age limit on the Seniors Tour? Ridiculous that this guy, retired only 3 years, plays against 47 year olds. Rogerthat Talk 06:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

The tour is for 30-year-olds and over. It's the organizers that set the criteria so if you have a problem with that, moan at them (I personally think 35 and over would be more appropriate). Most of the players are in their thirties; McEnroe is an exception because, well, he's McEnroe. GringoInChile 13:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comeback in 2007?

It has been widely reported in Chile that Ríos will appear in the Viña del Mar ATP tournament and it seems that he is close to an agrrement with the organizers. I have a citation here but it's in SPanish. Should it be included in the article anyway? GringoInChile 13:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I removed the entry earlier. I wasn't aware of that article, thought by reading it, it isn't clear to me that he's coming back only that he would eventually play the ATP Viña. I recently read an interview where he says that he's not considering playing the ATP tour again and that he's happy in the senior tour. I don't have enough confidence in my english to edit the article, so I was thinking maybe you could add it . The information is in here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/4790323.stm. Thank you.

Yeah, I agree with you after readingthat interview. I've alterd the mention in the article so that it's clear that he's not thinking of coming back. By the way, I think you're English is quite OK so you shouldn't feel hesitant about adding something. If you make some minor errors, someone will come along and correct it in true Wikipedia fashion.
