Gildemeister awaits conversation with González in France

SANTIAGO.- Hans Gildemesiter is following the Chilean players' winning streak at the Roland Garros tournanment and keeping an eye on the Austrians. The Davis Cup captain has been in France since last week, where he hopes to speak to the Chilean players, especially Fernando González.

The former tennis player admits however that he has yet to speak with the La Reina native, who advanced on to the second round of the Parisian tournament yesterday.

"I haven't talked about the Davis Cup with anyone. I was with Nicolás for a bit yesterday (Monday), but we talked about the Roland Garros. I haven't spoken to Fernando (…) he is concentrated on his goal of going very far here and with the game play he has demonstrated, he very well could", the coach told Radio Cooperativa.

With regards to a possible meeting with Chile's number one player, Gildemeister stated that "we have to play it right. I was a tennis player and obviously I know that when you are concentrated on something, it is not good to leave the zone. I will speak with him at some point (…) it could be in a month or a month and a half from now. There is no rush, we have a lot of time before the Davis Cup", he added.

Gildemeister also indicated that he "would like to talk to Fernando" saying, "we had a team relationship for four years, but these things take time".
