Biography
Osorio made his first appearance at ATP Tour level in 1997, at his home tournament in Mexico City. It was the only time he made the main draw of a singles event and he was beaten in first round by Alejandro Hernandez.
As a doubles player he won two Challenger tournaments and had his best ATP Tour performance at the 1998 Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington, where he teamed up with Bobby Kokavec to make the quarter-finals.
He played Davis Cup for the first time in 1998, when Mexico went to Cali to compete against Colombia and lost 2–3. His only appearance was in the doubles, which he and partner David Roditi lost in a five set match. In 1999 he featured in two further ties for Mexico, wins over Paraguay and Cuba. He played both singles rubbers in each of the ties and won the decisive fifth rubber to defeat Cuba, over Sandor Martinez-Breijo.
At the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg he made the third round of the men's singles, but had more of an impact in the doubles competition, by claiming the silver medal. He and partner Oscar Ortiz upset the top seeds from the United States, the Bryan brothers, in the semi finals.[1] They lost the final to Brazil's Andre Sa and Paulo Taicher.
He played two more Davis Cup ties in 2000, with Mexico winning in Costa Rica then Guatemala.
