The tennis player born in the city of Rufino in Santa Fe 41 years ago and number three on the planet in 2004, his best season, thanked his players for their efforts and anticipated that he will continue trying to move the team forward despite the fact that his cycle is very unproductive in terms of results and ways of conducting.
“My players left everything in this series. They were always in the game, they gave everything and I think the Finns were more solid in returning their serve, that is key on these types of pitches because with that shot you make your opponent uncomfortable. In general terms the team was up to the task”Coria analyzed.
The Argentine captain, who now shares Argentina’s worst historical streak in the Davis cupsince he lost four consecutive series for the second time in the entire tour, whose origin was with his debut in 1923, he regretted the injury suffered by the best tennis player on the team, Francisco Cerundolowho could not play the fourth point against ruusuvuori and had to be replaced by Facundo Bagnis, rookie.
“Fran was injured in the third set of his match on Saturday (he beat Otto Virtanen in a tie break) and he wasn’t in a position to play against a tennis player who gives you very few chances. Bagnis was up to the task but he didn’t He gave it because Ruusuvuori didn’t give him the chances he needed. We competed from minute one but doing things right sometimes isn’t enough”, concluded Coria.
The man from Santa Fe equaled the worst run of the Argentine team that had taken place between 1967 and 1970, when he lost successively against Ecuador (4-1), against Venezuela (3-2) and twice against Chile (both 3-2 ), and in September he will have the opportunity to end it or, in the case of another defeat, to own the worst record in history.
choria he will surely analyze the future of the Argentine team when he returns to Buenos Aires and joins Augustine Callerithe President of the AAT, and Mariano Zabaletathe vice president, who chose not to accompany the delegation in Espoo and sent managers without decision-making capacity.
