DETROIT (2/8/2013) -- University of Detroit Mercy men's tennis player Pablo Nunez will represent Costa Rica in the X Central American Games that will take place from March, 3-17, in San Jose, Costa Rica. Nunez received a letter from the President of the Tennis Federation inviting him to be one of four players to represent Costa Rica in the games.
 
“It is great to go home and represent my country,” said Nunez. “I've done it for the Davis Cup and it's a different feeling from other competition. It's a real honor.”
