UMAG, Croatia -- Second-seeded Guillermo Coria ousted Juan Carlos Ferrero
6-3, 6-0 Friday to advance to the semifinals of the Croatia Open.
The former French Open champion provided some resistance in the opening set
, but began to crumble after Coria won several key rallies with superb
footwork and blistering passing shots.
A finalist at two ATP Masters Series events this year, Coria broke at 3-3
and 5-3 to take the first set. He won 10 straight games to wrap up the
match.
"I feel good and I think I'm on the right track," he said.
Coria faces Italian Filippo Volandri, who upset third-seeded Tommy Robredo
of Spain 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Volandri, a finalist at the Croatia Open the last two years, was down 2-0
in the second before staging a comeback.
He dropped his serve once in the third set, broke Robredo twice and sealed
the match with spectacular passing shots.
In the other quarterfinal matches, fifth-seeded Czech Jiri Novak defeated
countryman Lukas Dlouhy 6-0, 6-3, setting himself up for a semifinal berth
with four-time champion Carlos Moya, who overcame a second-set lapse to
defeat fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 6-4, 0-6, 6-3.
