   A time when Coria [7] was in one of the most dominant forms on clay-courts ever, very Nadal alike. After losing the first round at Wimbledon to Oliver Rochus, he won three clay-court titles (Stuttgart, Kitzbuhel, Sopot) within three weeks, and no-one was able to play even a tie-break against him! He was so destructive that for example in Stuttgart he outplayed in 41 minutes 6-0, 6-0 Youzhny – the defending champion! Massu [48] quickly realised that he had no chance against Coria in baseline rallies, and because of that he was serving harder than usual which contributed to many double faults.

   Coria’s route to his 4th title:
   2 Andreas Vinciguerra 6-4, 6-3
   3 Olivier Mutis 6-1, 6-0
   Q Juan Ignacio Chela 6-3, 6-2
   S Feliciano Lopez 6-1, 6-2
   W Nicolas Massu 6-1, 6-4, 6-2

   Serve & volley: Coria 0, Massu 4/6
