After Murray's praise for the ATP in Buenos Aires and Rio, Chile was not up to par. "What do you want me to say, that the tournament is shit," exploded the Spaniard Carballés Baena.

The situation is so evident that not even the Chileans themselves can defend their tournament. "I think it is the worst court I have played on at the ATP level. With the Court in this state, anyone can win," said Cristian Garín. "You are constantly afraid of getting injured," said Joao Fonseca.
