Fernando Gonzalez Overview
Fernando Francisco González Ciuffardi (born July 29, 1980) is a professional tennis player from Chile. He is known for having one of the hardest hitting forehands on the circuit. In Spanish he is called El bombardero de La Reina ("The La Reina bomber") and Mano de Piedra ("Stone Hand"). The English-language media has labeled him "Gonzo."
González is one of the few active players to have reached at least the quarter-final round of all four Grand Slam tournaments. He played his first major final at the 2007 Australian Open, losing to top-ranked Roger Federer. He is the fourth male tennis player in history to have won each Olympic medal (gold in doubles and bronze in singles at Athens 2004, and silver in singles at Beijing 2008).

Nice Guy
I chatted with Fernado in New York City in September... It was only a few hours after Nadal beat him 6-0 in the final set of the US Open quarters... He's a great guy... Very nice... He said he's got some book out in Chile... Does anyone know about his book/

It's probably in Spanish. So if you can read Spanish.. read it, I like the guy myself and wouldn't mind reading his book if I could read Spanish.

RE:Nice Guy
He does seem like a great guy and I would like to see him do well in the next major. I think his game is great but its missing something ,and when he finds it he could do some damage.
