his home country at the $445,000 Copa Telmex tennis event.
Horna scored a 6-4, 6-3 win in the round-robin tournament in the first meeting
against his Argentine opponent.
Another round-robin upset came when Spaniard Albert Montanes took out third-
seeded Argentine favorite Agustin Calleri 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4 at the Buenos
Aires Lawn Tennis Club. Calleri, who was the runner-up here in 2002, beat

downed Argentine Martin Vassallo Arguello 7-5, 6-4; fifth-seeded Spaniard
Carlos Moya beat Italian Potito Starace, 6-4, 6-4; and Ecuador's Nicolas
Lapentti topped France's Nicolas Devilder 6-3, 2-6, 6-3.

Moya also captured this event in 2003 and was the runner-up in 2004.
In another round-robin match, Italy's Alessio Di Mauro topped Spain's Ruben
Ramirez Hidalgo, 6-4, 7-6 (10-8).
In main-draw elimination play, Argentine Guillermo Canas stayed red hot by

returned to the ATP following a doping suspension, is fresh off his title last
week in Costa do Sauipe.
Also in main-draw elimination play, Brazilian Flavio Saretta subdued Czech
Lukas Dlouhy 6-3, 6-1.
This week's tournament is a 32-player round-robin draw consisting of a 16-
player "play-off," with eight winners joining 16 other players to make up
eight groups of three players. Each player then plays two guaranteed
matches in the round-robin stage. The winner from each group will advance to
the knockout round (quarterfinals), and then will play out the event, per a
traditional single-elimination format.
The 2007 Copa Telmex winner will collect $66,450.
