Juan Carlos Ferrero vs Guillermo Coria
Ferrero and Coria ruled the clay courts of 2003, with Ferrero claiming his first Grand Slam at Roland Garros, while Coria won three successive tournaments in Stuttgart, Kitzbuhel and Sopot, as well as claiming his first Tennis Masters Series title in Hamburg. The Spaniard won their only meeting of 2003 with considerable ease in the Monte Carlo final. The Argentine has come a long way since then though, gaining vital big-match experience with his run to the Roland Garros semifinals as well as competing in the Tennis Masters Cup season-finale in Houston. And while Martin Verkerk's stunning form at this year's Roland Garros ended hopes of a blockbuster final match-up between these two, players will be hard pushed to stop Ferrero and Coria battling it out in 2004. These two clay court giants are now poised to duel for the title of 'Clay Court King' for years to come.
