http://www.atptennis.com/en/ Moya, Coria to Meet in Final Carlos Moya looking for his 12th ATP title as he faces 21-year-old Coria of Argentina. Carlos Moya won a tight tiebreak against Brazil's Gustavo Kuerten on Saturday and cruised from there to win 7-6(8), 6-1 and move into the final of the Copa AT&T in Buenos Aires for the second time in his career. After losing to Gustavo Kuerten the first four times they played, Carlos Moya has now won three of the past four matches against the former World No. 1 and three-time Roland Garros champion. In the days' first semifinal, a battle of Argentine's saw 21-year-old Guillermo Coria defeat 24-year-old Gaston Gaudio in three sets in front of the vocal Argentine fans. The last time these two played was two years ago at this very tournament, where Gaudio came away with a win in the quarterfinal. In the only ATP title won by Coria, he defeated Gaudio in the final at Vina del Mar in 2001. WHAT THE PLAYERS SAID: Guillermo Coria: "I started very well in the first set and did what I had to do. In the second set, I think I was just taking it easy, but in the third set I was solid and concentrated and going for my shots." "There was a lot of emotion in that match, the second time I've felt this much emotion during the week." "I'm always trying to attack with my game. Matches with other Argentinians are always so close because we know each other's games so well." "My right foot problem is OK right now." Carlos Moya: "I wasn't so comfortable in the first set, and Guga was serving very hard, but I played as close to perfection as my game can play in the second set. It was my best level of tennis so far." "Yesterday the court was heavy and to win this kind of match [against Horna] really gave me a lot of confidence going into this match." "I'm not too worried about the final against Coria tomorrow. Even though the crowd will be with him, I have eight years of experience with this and I hope the crowd will be a little bit with me too, because I love Buenos Aires and Argentina." on being friends with Guga Kuerten "Even 10 years after we retire from tennis I will be friends the Guga and that is not something I can say about every tennis player." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 218.162.55.211
