Year.aspx
Davis Cup hero Nicolas Lapentti has been named Sportsman of the Year in
Ecuador after topping a poll run by El Universo newspaper. Football team,
Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito (LDU), was also a winner after being
crowned champions of the Copa Sudamericana, the second most important team
tournament in South America.
Lapentti and LDU received the awards during the traditional Champions dinner
at the Oro Verde hotel in Guayaquil.
"This trophy is great motivation keep trying to make Ecuador shine and to
keep the flag flying around the world,” said Lapentti. “It is a great
honour to receive this prestigious prize.”
Lapentti was an integral member of the Ecuadorian Davis Cup team in the World
Group playoffs against Brazil. The former World No. 4 in the South African
Airways ATP Rankings defeated Marcos Daniel in an epic fifth rubber,
prevailing in five sets after four hours and 43 minutes. Lapentti was
undefeated in Ecuador’s 2009 Davis Cup campaign, with victories in singles
over Canada, Peru and Brazil.
The 33-year-old Lapentti had announced his retirement last year, but the
victory over Brazil inspired the Guayaquil native to continue in the 2010 ATP
World Tour season and represent Ecuador in the Davis Cup World Group.
Lapentti has the record for most five-set victories in Davis Cup history,
having recorded 13 triumphs - one more than Henri Cochet of France and Nicola
Pietrangeli from Italy.
Lapentti在DC的英勇表現讓他獲得了今年厄瓜多最佳運動員的榮譽，LDU Quito足球俱樂部
獲得團體的獎項。
