Guillermo Coria
Encyclopedia
Guillermo Sebastián Coria (born 13 January 1982 in Rufino
, Santa Fe Province
), nicknames include El Mago (The Magician in Spanish), is a retired professional tennis
player from Argentina
who was runner-up in the 2004 French Open
. He was named after tennis champion and fellow countryman Guillermo Vilas
.
by beating his friend and fellow Argentine, David Nalbandian
, 6-4, 6-3 in the final. One month later at the 1999 Wimbledon Championships
, Coria and Nalbandian teamed up to win the boy's doubles title by beating Todor Enev and Jarkko Nieminen
7-5, 6-4.
Coria turned professional in 2000, finishing 2003, 2004 and 2005 as a top ten player. He was one of the fastest players on the Association of Tennis Professionals
(ATP) tour, consistently showing great performances in clay courts tournaments. His playing style was that of a counter-puncher.
Coria tested positive for nandrolone
in April 2001 and was initially suspended two years. Coria claimed that the only supplement he was taking was a multivitamin made by an NJ supplements company. His family had a private lab test the multivitamin, which found them contaminated with steroids. Subsequently, the ATP reduced his suspension to only the seven months that had already passed. Coria sued the company for more than $10 million in lost prize money and endorsements and settled after the third day of the trial for an undisclosed amount.
Coria signalled his arrival as a very good clay court player in 2003 by reaching the finals of Buenos Aires
, where he lost a tight best of 3 sets match to Carlos Moyà
, and at the Monte Carlo Masters, where he lost in two straight sets to Juan Carlos Ferrero
. Coria went on to win his first Masters Series title at the 2003 Hamburg Masters
where he defeated Agustín Calleri
in the final in three straight sets.
At the 2003 French Open
, Coria defeated Andre Agassi
in four sets in the quarter finals before suffering an upset loss to Martin Verkerk
and his booming serves
in the semi finals. In July 2003, Coria was increasingly establishing himself as the new king of clay in winning 3 clay court tournaments in 3 weeks, the Mercedes Cup
in Stuttgart, the Generali Open in Kitzbühel and the Orange Prokom Open in Sopot. He won these 3 tournaments without dropping a set, dishing out 5 bagels and 8 breadsticks in the process.
In 2004, Coria won the clay court tournament in Buenos Aires
and reached the final of the 2004 NASDAQ-100 Open
on hardcourt, where he faced Andy Roddick
. From the first set onwards, Coria was visibly hurt by pains in his back that later turned out to be kidney stone
s. Coria still managed to win the first set 7-6, but Roddick won the next two sets 6-3, 6-1, before Coria retired during the first game of the fourth set.
Three weeks later, Coria defeated Rainer Schüttler
in three straight sets in the final of the Monte Carlo Masters to win his second Masters Series title. Coria had now won 5 clay court tournaments in a row and had gone 26 matches unbeaten on clay, and on May 3, 2004, Coria reached a career high ranking of World No. 3. In attempting to defend his title at the Hamburg Masters
, Coria increased his clay court winning streak to 31 matches by reaching the final where he lost to World No. 1 Roger Federer
in four sets.
At the 2004 French Open
, as the favourite to win the title, he reached the final, beating former world number 1, Carlos Moyà
, in the quarter finals and British serve and volleyer, Tim Henman
, in the semi finals; but he was unexpectedly defeated by unseeded compatriot Gastón Gaudio
in an unprecedented all-Argentine final, 0–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–1, 8–6. Coria had won the first two sets convincingly and was in control of the third set at 4-4 and 40-0 up on serve in the third set, before the crowd started a Mexican wave that galvanised the nervous Gaudio and saw him snatch the set. Coria then succumbed to leg cramps, at times barely able to move and with many of his serves in the fourth set not even reaching the net. Coria still managed to get the advantage at several stages of the fifth set, leading by a break of serve on no fewer than four separate occasions, including twice serving for the championship at 5-4 and 6-5 - the latter game of which saw him narrowly miss the line with attempted winners on two championship points, making him the only male player in the open era to lose a Grand Slam singles final having held a match point. Many fans and pundits agree that Coria was never the same player after the loss.
Coria surprised most people by reaching the first grass court final of his career at 's-Hertogenbosch
, losing the final to Michaël Llodra
. Incredibly, this was only two weeks after the devastation of losing the French Open final. Coria then went on to defeat Wesley Moodie
in a five set match in the first round of Wimbledon
, which took nearly 3 days after the start of the match to complete as a result of rain and poor scheduling. Coria lost in four sets in the second round to Florian Mayer
, and got a bad injury to his right shoulder during the match. In August 2004, Coria had surgery on his right shoulder. He returned to the ATP tour in November for the Masters Cup
, where he performed poorly.
Coria has appeared in five finals since the 2004 French Open defeat and has lost four of them, the most famous of which being the fifth set tiebreak loss to the rising king of clay, Rafael Nadal
, in the 2005 Rome Masters final
, having led 3-0 with a double break and game point in the deciding set. The only final Coria won was on July 31, 2005, when he won in Umag, Croatia
by defeating Carlos Moyà
in the final. Afterwards, Coria joked that the small tournament was considered a fifth Grand Slam in his family, because his wife Carla hails from Croatia. Coria had a surprisingly consistent 2005 season, where he was one of only three players that year to reach the fourth round or better at every Grand Slam, the others being Roger Federer
and David Nalbandian
.
Despite Coria having a consistent season in 2005, it was during his tournament victory in Umag
that he started to suffer from the service yips, a psychological condition that renders a tennis player unable to hit the ball at the correct moment when serving. At first, it wasn't really noticed but it really came to light during the 2005 US Open
when Coria served a combined 34 double faults in his fourth round win over Nicolás Massú
and his quarter final loss to Robby Ginepri
. Against Ginepri, having already saved 5 match points, Coria was serving to take the match into a fifth set tiebreaker, when two double faults in a row from deuce gave Ginepri the win.
As the 2005 season drew to a close, Coria's form started to dip alarmingly as a result of the high number of double faults he was serving in an increasing number of his matches. Coria lost 9 of his last 11 matches of 2005. Some pundits have also speculated that his three losses in finals to the emerging Nadal may have hit his confidence worse than the loss to Gaudio.
Coria's service yips got increasingly worse in 2006, although he still managed to reach the third round of the 2006 Australian Open
and later managed a victory over Novak Djokovic
at the 2006 Miami Masters without serving any double faults.
At the 2006 Monte Carlo Masters
, Coria came back from 1-6, 1-5 down to defeat Paul-Henri Mathieu
despite serving 20 double faults in the match, and Coria then defeated Nicolas Kiefer
despite serving 22 double faults, but he was then easily beaten by Rafael Nadal
in the quarter finals. After Monte Carlo, Coria wins generally became fewer and further between, although he did manage a semi final in Amersfoort in July 2006.
Coria withdrew from the 2006 French Open and Wimbledon as he attempted to sort out the problems with his game, recover from an elbow injury, and rediscover his old form. In August 2006 he hired Horacio de la Peña
as his tennis coach. At the 2006 US Open
, Coria retired in his first round match against Ryan Sweeting
after just 5 games. It would be 17 months before Coria played a match on the ATP tour again.
Coria made his return in a Challenger in Belo Horizonte Brazil on October 22, 2007. He lost the first set 6–3 to fellow Argentine Juan Pablo Brzezicki and subsequently retired with a back injury. He had been leading in the first set 3–1.
Coria finally returned to the main ATP circuit in the Movistar Open in Chile on January 28, 2008. He showed positive signs of recovering his form, but was still defeated in the first round by Pablo Cuevas 6–4, 4–6, 6–3.
In February, in his second ATP Circuit appearance of the year, Coria defeated Italian qualifier Francesco Aldi 6–4 7–5. It was his first ATP victory in 19 months.
As a result of Andy Roddick
's withdrawal from the 2008 French Open
due to a back injury, Coria made his first Grand Slam appearance since the 2006 US Open in taking the place of the American. He faced Tommy Robredo
, the three-time quarter-finalist and #12 seed, in the first round. Coria was defeated in four sets as Robredo won 5-7, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4, but Coria's performance led to some optimism, even from Coria himself, who was close to forcing a fifth set.
Coria never managed to recover from the service yips that damaged his game and kept his ranking hundreds of places below his once top 10 position. On April 28, 2009, he announced his retirement from professional tennis, saying that he "didn’t feel like competing anymore."
Coria attended preschool with David Nalbandian
in Argentina. He is a well known River Plate
fan.
As of 2010, Coria is coaching his younger brother Federico, and has said that he has not ruled out a return to the ATP tour.

Coria made his return in a Challenger in Belo Horizonte Brazil on October 22, 2007. He lost the first set 6–3 to fellow Argentine Juan Pablo Brzezicki and subsequently retired with a back injury. He had been leading in the first set 3–1.
Coria finally returned to the main ATP circuit in the Movistar Open in Chile on January 28, 2008. He showed positive signs of recovering his form, but was still defeated in the first round by Pablo Cuevas 6–4, 4–6, 6–3.

Coria never managed to recover from the service yips that damaged his game and kept his ranking hundreds of places below his once top 10 position. On April 28, 2009, he announced his retirement from professional tennis, saying that he "didn’t feel like competing anymore."
