BREAKING NEWS: Canas robbed while leaving parents home after Davis Cup match in Argentina

Argentina tennis player Guillermo Canas (pictured), currently ranked No. 56 in the world, was robbed outside his parents Buenos Aires home in the early morning hours this past weekend after his team was fresh off a 3-2 Davis Cup semifinal victory over Russia to earn them a spot in the finals.

Reports maintain that the armed attackers did not know who they were attacking, despite Canas carrying a racquet on the way to his car. Canas, who defeated Roger Federer in back-to-back weeks in early 2007, was stripped of credit cards, cash, documents and a chain. The attackers fled the scene in Canas’ car.


Canas is scheduled to play singles in next week’s Open de Moselle in Metz, France.
