Guillermo Coria Quotations

Luckily by the end of the match I was able to recover my full speed.

Moya is playing at his best and it will be very difficult to beat him. But I am really hungry to win a tournament this year. I know he has been invincible in finals here in Umag but I hope I can be the first one to break this record of his.

My first match was very fast, so I was able to settle myself down afterward. But, the evening match was difficult.

My first match was very fast, so I was able to settle myself down afterward, ... But, the evening match was difficult.

I was really worried because my hands were shaking and I felt sick.

I didn't want to go out with a 6-1 6-1 defeat. This was an incredible match.

I am happy to have won this easy. It is good for the next rounds since I will save energy that I am sure I will be needing. It wasn't easy to play today. The weather conditions made the court very heavy.

I am finding my game and today it was another difficult first set. Volandri played very well and there was nothing I could do. Then I had luck in the 3-2 and managed to win the set. Probably he got a bit tired from yesterday.

I am quite happy to be back here after my victory two years ago and I am hoping to go to Shanghai, ... It is extra motivation to be top seed. But there are still other players who can win here and who I still need to beat.

I lost a toenail on my foot and he questioned whether it was a real injury or not.

I have always admired you You are so great. I hope to see you as soon as I am back to Argentina. We'll play a match.

I felt poorly but after they told me it was normal, I felt a bit better.

I felt mentally good enough to achieve that. Now I have to go to (next week's Masters Series tournament in) Paris where the conditions are completely different.

Hardcourt is the favorite surface of Johansson, and it will bea difficult task for me to challenge the Swede. I must player better than today when facing Johansson,

He's always fought for his goals. He always left everything on court and off the court he's a fighter. I'm sure he'll be back.

He's having a big year and is very confident, and he's also got luck on his side at the moment, ... I leave the tournament happy with my form though. I'm not disappointed as today I lost against a very good player.

I was losing feeling on the hand, ... It has been happening for four days. I had a lot of treatment...but during the match, the more I serve, the more it gets tight -- the forearm, the shoulder. I knew it could happen. That's just the way it is.

I thought that sooner or later he would give up, or at least ease up. But he kept responding with incredible shots, shots that few people would have been able to come up with.

It feels like Argentine players are under the spotlight,

That was the key point. There was everything in this match, a lot of turnarounds, but I knew how to capitalize on my chances.

tried mimicking me right from the start. It was a distraction. Their captain, who has been mouthing off all about sportsmanship, is talking to the (chair umpire) on every second point of my serve. That's not sportsmanship ... that's absolute rubbish.

We think it's ridiculous he can't be there with us. He's very important to the team. It's incredible. The rules need to be changed.

They are all very young and motivated and looking forward to making history in their own country.

It was very hot and I was really struggling at the start with my reaction time, ... But luckily I was able to turn it around and by the end I was at full speed.

It was a long journey from New York so I'm pleased to do enough to win. The goal now is to make sure I can qualify for the Masters Cup in Shanghai.

It was an ugly match, boring for spectators. I was not focused and the rhythm was slow, it was difficult to concentrate and a good match to forget, but the important thing was to win.

On this surface, on clay, yes, he's the toughest player because every point is very intense. He plays very intense. Also, on both sides he hits very hard. Until 4-2, all the games were very tight, but he ended up winning them because he had a better physical condition. He is like a beast, an animal, on the court. He's very strong and he's very well prepared.

There were no words exchanged. I had an injury with three of my toenails, he implied that I was faking it, and I told him to go sit. In 41/2 hours, that was it. There were no bad words.

There were no words exchanged, ... I had an injury with three of my toenails, he implied that I was faking it, and I told him to go sit. In four and a half hours, that was it. There were no bad words.

It's a bad rule and all the players are against it,

It was a very difficult match, I almost lost. However, I could get up and look forward to the next battle.

It was a very difficult match, I almost lost.

It was a misunderstanding. He (Massu) said, 'That's not a real injury, you're faking it,'. I said, 'No, it's real, I'm not faking it'.

It's a childhood dream to be in the final,

Take care of your own business and leave me alone. You're paranoid!

It was an incredible point and a huge point in the context of the match, ... I think he lost hope after that point and after having had three match points.

It was an incredible match. I knew I had to do something as I didn't want to go out with a 6-1, 6-1 defeat. I didn't want to leave a bad image of myself.

I wanted to reach at least the quarter-finals or semi-finals here in order to get some confidence,

It was a difficult match and I had to be very focused. I made the most of the moments where I could break his service, and I really made the most of the moments where I could win. I feel very confident about the next match.

It took a lot of work with the conditioning coach, and I feel as strong as ever, and I'm going to continue to work with it so I don't have problems. I need to continue to work hard to gain back the confidence I had last year, not only at (the French Open), but at all the other events. Work hard, that's all I have to do for now.

I hope there are no more problems and things just quieten down now.

I hope there are no more problems and things just quiet down now.

I knew that when I lost here last year, I wanted to come back and win it in 2004.

I had a lot of pain throughout the whole body. It was hard to move.

I had a lot of pain throughout the whole body,

I have to get my confidence back and win at least two matches in Paris,

But I gave it all. I ran, tried hard and just gave all that I could.

He started very fast. He was playing very high balls. I was a little bit surprised at his speed at the beginning of the match,

I didn't know my opponent very well and his game was a very slow game. He doesn't give you any rhythm. He comes out with things that I don't expect.

I don't see myself winning too many matches on this surface, ... It's like playing on ice.

I am very happy to win in three sets a match that was very difficult. But my objective is to win on Sunday.

I am very happy. It was a very tough match. It was hot again. That's the kind of tournament I need to get back to my perfect shape.

I am not disappointed losing to Rafael (Nadal). He is an excellent player with tremendous confidence inside, and it seems luck is always on his side.

He really let loose and while it was a mistake not to take advantage of some of his serving errors, he really played a fine match.

He played really well, took his chances at the net and the crowd really helped him out (in the fourth set). It was a fantastic battle.

All I can do is say sorry, what I showed on court was not at all nice.

The match is not as easy as it looks like. My fitness is not that good these days. I'm so tired recently.
