Racket Sports

Guillermo Sebastián Coria, nicknamed El Mago, is an Argentine former professional tennis player, born on 13 January 1982. He was ranked as high as world No. 3 in men's singles in May 2004 and won nine ATP Tour singles titles, eight of them on clay, which led to him being considered the world's best clay-court player in 2003 and 2004. He reached the semifinals of the French Open in 2003 and the final in 2004, losing to Gastón Gaudio despite serving for the match twice and leading by two sets to love. Injuries and a loss of confidence affected his later years, and he retired in 2009 at the age of 27.
