Hi! I will be reviewing this in the next few days. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 13:15, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

This has improved considerably after the last two reviews. Here are my comments: Sainsf  (talk · contribs) 15:28, 9 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Lead
 * Per the MOS the lead should be a summary of the major points of the article, and thus a subset of the main article. It seems it has some points that are absent in the main article.
 * See that citations are kept only for potentially controversial points. All others are expected to be mentioned in the main article and sourced there itself.


 * Early and personal life
 * Mention when he was born
 * and Os Sandinenses until...after its closure. Source?
 * He speaks fluently Portuguese... I think "He is fluent in..." sounds better
 * ✅, I agree
 * He speaks fluently Portuguese... I think "He is fluent in..." sounds better
 * ✅, I agree


 * Pre-2008
 * I think some consistency is needed in which locations are wikilinked and which not.
 * ✅, all locations are now wikilinked
 *  where he also reached his first singles final You mean "junior" singles final? Because he already has a title to his name by now.
 * ✅, I agree that the way it is might me misleading


 * 2008–2012
 *  winning both singles dead rubbers he took part in over Philippos Tsangaridis from Cyprus I think there should be an emdash before "over"
 * his last to date Better say something like "last as of 2016", we should be sure this remains updated
 * becoming the fourth Portuguese player It was he and not his ranking that "became" this.
 * becoming the fourth Portuguese player It was he and not his ranking that "became" this.
 * becoming the fourth Portuguese player It was he and not his ranking that "became" this.


 * 2013
 * Despite being knocked out of both tournaments in the first round I think there is some overciting here, only two refs are used in similar cases elsewhere
 * world number three  Say "3" as you do elsewhere after "world number".
 * former top 10 Jürgen Melzer former top 10 "ranker"?
 * Say "World number" or "World no." And at some places you say "the then-world number" (which is understood, and need not be mentioned). There should be consistency in this.


 * 2016
 * He will next play at the Open Sud de France I think this was last edited in January 2016. Any updates since then?


 * Playing style
 * as a tough opponent who never backs down from a fight Perhaps use some quote marks
 * There don't seem to be any wikilinks here, you may try linking some tennis terms


 * Equipment and endorsements
 * He criticized local government "the" local
 *  lack of support of sports other than football "to" sports

It seems some claims were found not to be in the cited source in the previous review, so I will check them as far as I can and advise you to do so as well.
 * Sources
 * Is every point of the infobox sourced here or somewhere else?
 * Sources for each table in "Career statistics" should be explicitly mentioned, probably in a line preceding the table.
