updated =July 21 ,2008 Carlos Alberto Berlocq (born
March 2 , 1983 inChascomus ) is an Argentine professional male tennis player. He is nicknamed "Charly". Berlocq's favourite surface is clay and he is currently coached byJorge Gerosi .Berlocq started playing tennis at the age of four and has had his success on the ATP Futures and Challenger circuits. In 2004 he made six consecutive finals in the Futures events, winning three of them, two finals each in
Argentina ,France andSlovenia . He also made his first Challenger final inManta ,Ecuador losing toGiovanni Lapentti and then won another Futures title inArgentina .At the end of 2005 Berlocq finished inside the top 100 for the first time on the back of strong form on the Challenger circuit where he went 44–20 in singles and won two Challenger titles in
Turin defeatingAlessio di Mauro and inCordenons defeatingJerome Haehnel . Berlocq also qualified for his first ATP main event inStuttgart losing toRazvan Sabau and also played doubles inBucharest withMariano Puerta .Berlocq struggled to adapt his level from the Futures and Challengers to the ATP main level events and has to date achieved only limited success on the ATP, however his first win was significant. In the
ATP Masters Series event inMiami Berlocq defeated the much-hyped American junior and wildcard entrantDonald Young 6–0; 6–0. Both Berlocq and Young had never won a match on the ATP and this win was achieved onhardcourt which is not Berlocq's favoured surface.After defeating Young, then Berlocq played American
James Blake and lost this match 6–0 6–0, therefore creating an unusual achievement of winning his first ATP-level match 6–0 6–0 and then losing by the same scoreline in the next round.Berlocq has managed to win two consecutive matches for the first time on the ATP to make the quarter finals in
Sopot after defeatingPhilipp Kohlschreiber andLukas Dlouhy .On
May 29 ,2007 , Berlocq upset the number thirty seedJulien Benneteau in four sets, 6–7, 7–5, 6–2, 6–3 at the2007 French Open . Berlocq won his first ever grasscourt match inDen Bosch against former world number 1Juan Carlos Ferrero in 3 sets.External links
