Guillermo Coria Calls It Quits

Yes, it is a sad day today but Guillermo Coria has called it quits. The Argentine had an up and down career reaching as high as the #3 ranking and of course losing in the French Open final being up 2 sets to Love against my boy Gaston Gaudio. Coria finished his career with 9 titles and during his hay-day was one of the premiere dirt ballers. He had exquisite touch and resembled a Michael Chang with his speed and grit. Coria’s statement on his retirement below:

“I didn’t feel like competing anymore. I’ve made the decision I will not play again. In 2005 I began to feel less and less like competing,” he said. “My passion just wasn’t the same and it’s impossible to do things well when it’s like that. In this sport, you have to be at 100 percent.”
