STUTTGART, July 17, 2003
Volandri, Behrend Continue to Roll, Schuettler Holds off Corretja
No. 2 seed Guillermo Coria is seeking his second title of 2003.
No. 2 seed Guillermo Coria of Argentina wasted no time against
Spaniard David Ferrer, only dropping two games to win 6-1, 6-1,
and gaining confidence as he improves to a 25-5 record on clay
this year. Russian Mikhail Youzhny stopped the run of No. 5 seed
Jiri Novak, who won the Gstaad title last week. Youzhny, who won
his first ATP title last year in Stuttgart, is seeking to win his
first title since that coup.
Coria: "I was playing with a lot of confidence out there. Since
that tough first set against Mathieu, my confidence has just been
building and building."
About his style against Ferrer
"I really needed to mix up the pace, play some drop shots and move
the ball around because Ferrer is so fast on the court. That's one
of his strengths, so it was important for me to control the points."
About playing Novak or Youzhny
"Either guy is going to be a tough match. Novak is really playing
well. He showed his confidence by winning in Gstaad last week. Youzhny
is the defending champion and proved last year that he knows how to
win in Stuttgart."
About conditions
"It was tough because the conditions were so much different from my
opening match with Mathieu. In that match, the court was faster and
the balls moved quicker. With the wet conditions, it really slowed
things down."
