Could you tell us more about that, why you were there, all about it. MARCELO RIOS: Well, when I was little, like I think seven, we changed our country club, house inside country club. I think that's why I started playing tennis, because before I went to school and didn't play any tennis. After that, I was there playing some sports, some soccer, golf. I don't know why I started playing tennis. Q. How is it that you went to the country club? MARCELO RIOS: Sorry? Q. Was your father involved with the country club? How did that happen?
