Coria flies past Agassi By Matthew CroninTuesday, June 3, 2003

The beloved 1999 King is gone. Long live 'The Kid'.

In an amazing display of retrieving, Argentine Guillermo Coria ran
past secondseed Andre Agassi 4-6 6-3 6-26-4 to gain the semi finals on
Tuesday.

The puma-like Argentine took1999 Roland Garros titlist Agassi's
biggest blasts and sentthem flying down the lines. He made theeight-time
Grand Slam champion look silly by drawing him into the netwith dropshots
and then passing him, and had little troubleattackingAgassi'sserves.


"It is incredible,a dream come true to be here in the semi finals,"the
21-year-old said. "Agassi was my hero when I was growingup. This is
amazing."

The No7 seed rarely became unglued by Agassi's shifts in strategies
and was soeffectivein counterpunching the American's hard groundstrokes
that he turned dozens of rallies around in hisfavor.

Coria zeroed in onmaking Agassi sprint wide to his forehand side and
at one time hit a remarkable16 backhand winnersdown-the-line in a row
. Coriafinished the contest with 32 winners from the baseline to 28
from Agassi, brokehim nine times and won 11 of his 17 forays to thenet.

"Andre'sa warrior, but I thought I was playing very strong," Coria
said. "I went after every balland made him run tohis rightbecause it's
his weaker side.I was able to see after the second set that I hadhim.

"I didn't try to change muchthen, just go afterevery stroke. Everything
wentmy way today. I knew he was alittle worried and that boosted my
confidence. I never thought I would lose anddidn't look at who I was
playing."

While Agassi played a more than respectable contest, he only took 14
of his 29 net approaches and committed 75 unforcederrors to63 from
Coria.

"He's a good mover, there's no question about it," Agassi said. "It
gives him a lot of options. And he's a good decision-maker who knows
the court well. Todayhe hit a wide variety of shots and executed real
well."

Coria (who is named after Argentine great Guillermo Vilas)said that
the 33-year-old Agassi was hisidol growing up, but he wasn't
star-struck on court.

"I'd rather not behis idol and play him on a hard court than on clay
, becauseon this surface he poses a tremendous threat to everyone,"
Agassi said. "I couldn't play today's match on my terms and that had
nothing to do with anything butthe way he was hitting the ball."

Coria, who was once banned from the tour for testing positive for
performance enhancing drugs, is now reaching the potential that he
showed as a teenager. Thechampion on Hamburg's clay last month and a
runner-up in Monte Carlo in April, Coria has the look of a Roland-Garros
champ in themaking.

"With a strong heart and mind, he's inthe semi finals here," Agassi
said. "He's two matches away from a major dream for him. If he can come
that close, he cando the rest."
