That was when Gillarmo Coria was just about to enter Top 10 in the World. He did not have the security guards surrounding him yet. He was playing against Fernando Gonzalez when I was at the side court on the first row. I was scared sitting in the first raw every time Fernando swag his racket so fast. He does hit violently. Fernando had problems with his drop shot, so it was not until his 5th or 6th attempt when he finally scored the first point with the drop shot against Coria. My friend then was a huge fan of Coria, so she walked up to him for his autograph. He was very friendly and likable. I hope he recovers from his nightmare French Open loss.
