At the IEB+ Argentina Open, the 31-year-old from Rosario fell in the semifinals against Facundo Díaz Acosta, but he still has more than positive feelings.
The 2024 edition of the IEB+ Argentina Open is not the only one for Federico Coria. The 31-year-old from Rosario showed his best tennis at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis, where he reached the semifinals – he lost to Facundo Díaz Acosta in straight sets -, achieved the “best win” of his career against Cameron Norrie and will soon emulate Guillermo, his brother.
If Fede stays at 2-6 and 3-6 without any mitigating factors given to him by Díaz Acosta, the outlook is bleak: he is one step away from reaching the final of the tournament that he always dreamed of as a child, not being able to show everything he could have. liked on the court – little for his tennis; mostly because of what his rival showed.
However, their week was not only the disappointment of the last game, but it was much more. Everything is positive. First of all, He knows how to beat the Austrian Sebastian Ofner, Norrie and his compatriot Sebastián Báez. All players are better than him in ranking and career.
Furthermore, as he himself said, the victory over the British was the “better” of his career. Removing the thorn to beat the top 20. Getting great success at the headquarters of Buenos Aires as his brother also knows how to do.
Coria spoke publicly about him “panic” before the tournament and admitted the Wizard’s careerwho was number 3 in the ATP rankings, played in the Roland Garros final two decades ago and was the champion in Buenos Aires, is constantly compared to him.
And that “panic”as he so eloquently put it, doesn’t seem to care about the progress of his game. He carries the shadow of Guillermo, who is about to play in the final as Guillermo did two decades ago (in 2004 he became champion defeating Carlos Moyá 6-4, 6-1).
Today, Rio de Janeiro has the peace of mind that it is back in the top 100 – roughly in 85th place -. It was clear that he was going for more, without looking back. Always forward.
