seen moving, Federico Coria arrives at the IEB+ Argentina Open press room after defeating Austrian Sebastian Ofner 7-5, 4-5 and 7-5, in 2 hours and 58 minutes of play on the central court of Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis.

For him it is not only the transfer to the second round, where he will face the British Cameron Norrie, but it is a victory that he got. He conceded twice to lose the match in the third set, but his skill and unexpected help in the stands made him accept it.

“Today I won mainly because of some guys who helped me gain strength when everything was so dark. “I always try to catch on to little things that happen on the field like what happened today.”Coria began at a press conference.

“Sometimes I was like that when I was a child and I dreamed of being here, seeing my brother (Guillermo). I was attached to them, to the illusion of them being tennis players. and that’s why today I can’t allow myself to get tired after everything I’ve fought for in my career to play in this very special tournament.”he added.

When it came to the end of the match, the crowd started chanting his name to show him that they were with him and he was touched: “At one point I had to stop because I was about to cry. I’m risking a lot of things and a few years ago playing this tournament was impossible. “I still need to enjoy myself.”
